With long term services like those offered in the field of orthodontics, especially when it comes to braces, it is important to choose an orthodontist that is well-qualified. It is equally as important to choose an orthodontist that will make you and your child comfortable. Dr. Markey is exactly that and his location, right in the middle of our community, makes the numerous return visits that come with a set of braces a little easier and he can even have your child back in school on the day of their visit, but you might not want to tell them that.
Dr. Markey is a sponsor of the Marvin Ridge choir, band, athletic booster and theatre as well as the Waxhaw Farmers’ Market, Weddington Middle School’s Baskets Food and Fun and he presented the career of the orthodontist at Weddington Middle School’s Career Day. Dr. Markey also provides oral health and nutrition classes at Cuthbertson Middle School, Waxhaw Elementary and Marvin Ridge Middle School.
