We had a wonderful experience with the orthodontic team when my daughter needed an emergency wire adjustment. They were able to get us in quickly, and everyone was so kind, patient, and reassuring from the moment we arrived. The orthodontist took the time to make my daughter feel comfortable, explained everything they were doing, and fixed the problem efficiently. It’s such a relief to know we can count on them when unexpected issues come up. Their professionalism, compassionate care, and excellent service truly went above and beyond. We are so grateful and highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for outstanding orthodontic care!

Up North Orthodontics made having braces an easy experience for our family. From our initial appointment I felt incredibly welcomed. It was a hot summer day and I had four younger siblings in tow. We were a crowd, but the staff made us feel at home and we left with popsicles! This is one of the most family friendly offices I’ve ever been to. Thank you!!

We had a great first experience! The office staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and Dr. Spencer was patient, reassuring, and fantastic with kids. Hannah and Dr Spencer took the time to explain everything clearly and made what could have been a nerve-wracking appointment feel easy and comfortable. We left feeling confident and excited to begin treatment. Highly recommend!

I brought my 7-year-old daughter in for her first consultation- she’s a thumb-sucker and is very embarrassed about her “habit”- but the entire staff made both of us feel so comfortable and at ease! Would highly recommend Dr. Spencer and his office staff:). Oh and the office is super beautiful, comfortable, and they have an excellent selection of books! Highly recommend
Response from the owner:Caitlin, thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad your daughter felt comfortable and supported during her first visit. We know those conversations can feel a little overwhelming for kids, and it means a lot to hear that our team helped put both of you at ease. We’re also happy you enjoyed the office (and our book collection!). 😊 Thank you for the recommendation—we look forward to seeing you both again!

What a wonderful place! My granddaughter came to visit me from downstate and realized she had forgotten her rubber band. We called this office, and they were more than happy to help by providing us with two packages. When we asked how much we owed, they kindly told us there was no charge. Their generosity and kindness were truly appreciated. It’s rare to find such caring people willing to help without expecting anything in return. Thank you again for going above and beyond—we are very grateful!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review Julie! We’re so glad we could help your granddaughter while she was visiting. Sometimes it’s the little things that can make a big difference, and we were happy to lend a hand. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope you both had a wonderful visit together!

This review is overdue, but I’m glad I waited, as we now have two kiddos under Dr. Spencer’s orthodontic care at Up North Orthodontics. I was so impressed from the very beginning when our oldest started her journey nearly two years ago. Her initial consult left a lasting impression, the team was incredibly welcoming, the process felt seamless and well-organized, and the entire experience was both professional and genuinely warm. I especially appreciated Dr. Spencer’s conservative approach. Rather than rushing into treatment, he recommended we give her body time to do some of its natural developmental work first. That level of patience and trust in biology meant a lot to me. We began her treatment about a year after that first visit, and now six months in, we couldn’t be happier with her care and progress. More recently, we brought another one of our kiddos in, she has a more complex health history, including some airway challenges, and is quite a bit younger. Navigating her care can feel a bit more layered, but Dr. Spencer has been nothing short of accommodating, insightful, and encouraging every step of the way. It has truly been a breath of fresh air. As a parent who has had to navigate the medical world quite a bit, I carry a bit of that stress with me, but working with Dr. Spencer and his entire team has been such a positive, reassuring experience. We feel grateful to be in their care and would highly recommend Up North Orthodontics to any family.
Response from the owner:Kristen - wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. It really means a lot to us that you’ve trusted Dr. Spencer and our team with both of your children’s care. We’re especially glad to hear that you’ve felt comfortable with our more patient, individualized approach along the way. Taking the time to let kids develop when appropriate is something we feel strongly about, so it’s meaningful to know that resonated with you. It means a lot to hear that you’ve felt supported navigating some of the more complicated treatment processes. We’re truly grateful to be a steady, reassuring part of that process for your family. Thank you again for your trust and kind words—we’re so grateful to have your family with us 😊

We really love Dr. Spencer and everyone at Up North Orthodontics! Two of my children have gone completely through their orthodontic treatment with Dr. Spencer. Next month, my third kid will have his braces put on. I wouldn’t even think of going anywhere else. My oldest daughter was his patient when he first opened his clinic and we have been there ever since. Our family has always been treated with kindness, professionalism, and the environment is very comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Spencer!
Response from the owner:Molly, thank you so much for this wonderful review! It truly means a lot to us that your family has been with Dr. Spencer since the beginning and has continued to trust us through each of your kids’ treatment journeys. We’re excited to have your third starting his braces soon! We’re so glad your visits have consistently felt comfortable and positive over the years. Your loyalty and kind words mean more than we can say, and we’re grateful to be part of your family’s orthodontic care 😊

We’ve had such a great experience with Up North Orthodontics. The team is professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Dr. Crouch is straightforward in a way I really appreciate: approachable, clear, and great at explaining what’s happening, what’s next, and the overall plan. They’ve guided both of my kids through their braces journeys, including some pretty complicated cases, and I’ve felt confident in their care the entire time. One thing I really appreciate is that they don’t rush into treatment. They’re thoughtful about taking a “watch and wait” approach when it’s the right call, and their intake process is impressively efficient. You leave the first complimentary appointment with a clear plan and next steps. The space is always clean and well run, and the front desk team deserves a special mention- so friendly, organized, and just really pleasant to work with. I don’t hesitate to recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share this Alexis! We’re really grateful for your trust in us with both of your kids’ treatment. Dr. Spencer and our team always try to be clear, thoughtful, and not rush decisions so families feel confident every step of the way. It means a lot to hear that your visits have felt organized and easy from day one, and we especially appreciate the shout-out to our front desk team—they’ll love hearing that! We’re so glad to have your family with us and truly appreciate the recommendation 😊

What a refreshing experience to walk in and be greeted right away with “Hello! We’re so glad you’re here!” They treat you like family from start to finish. Dr. Crouch was absolutely amazing. He is so patient, explained everything to myself and my son tooth by tooth with no pressure to make a decision right away about suggested care. All of the staff were so friendly, smiled, and genuinely care for their patients. Thank you for providing such great professional service for what can be sometimes a not so fun thing for a child to go thru. You guys truly understand what it means to be in this profession. You nailed it!
Response from the owner:Casey, thank you for your incredibly kind words! We’re so glad you and your son felt welcomed and cared for from the moment you walked in. Dr. Spencer really appreciates your feedback—he takes pride in making sure families feel informed and comfortable every step of the way. It means so much to hear that our team made a positive difference in your experience, especially for something that can feel a little intimidating for kids. We are happy to have you at our office! 😊
