Ellis Orthodontics is a family orthodontic practice in Mount Laurel, NJ, built around one idea: you should see the same friendly faces every time you walk through our door. Founded in 1997 by Dr. Len Ellis — known locally as the “Hockey Doc” for a hockey career that ran from Division I college hockey to the professional ranks in Europe — the practice still runs on the same team-first values he learned on the ice. Today Dr. Ellis and Dr. Simona Lekht lead a team that treats kids, teens, and adults from one convenient Mount Laurel office — no rotating staff, no assembly line, just genuine care from people who know your name.
That approach has earned us a 5.0-star average across 250 Google reviews from families across Mount Laurel and Burlington County.
So, a little more about Ellis Orthodontics: we’re a locally owned orthodontic practice, not a corporate chain with a rotating cast of providers. When you become a patient here, you’re joining a practice that’s genuinely invested in your family’s smile from your very first consultation through your last retainer check.
“Treat patients like family. That’s how I feel, so that’s what I do,” Dr. Ellis has said of the philosophy behind the practice. Patients tell us this shows up in small ways — a team that remembers your kid’s soccer schedule, a doctor who explains what’s happening before every adjustment, a front desk that never makes you feel like a number. One patient put it simply: after a rough experience at a previous office, Dr. Ellis “comforted me the whole way.” That’s the standard we hold ourselves to with every patient who sits in our chair.
We also believe good orthodontic care should be judged by outcomes and honesty, not sales pressure. That’s part of why families across Mount Laurel and the surrounding Burlington County towns — Marlton, Moorestown, Medford, and Cherry Hill — consistently name us a top rated orthodontist near Burlington County NJ. We take the time to walk you through your options, including whether treatment is even needed yet, before recommending anything.
A few things you can expect as part of our practice family:
- Two orthodontic specialists overseeing every treatment plan
- The same care team at every visit, so nothing gets lost between appointments
- Clear, judgment-free explanations of your options and their cost
- A relaxed, welcoming office that works for kids, teens, and adults alike
