Dr. Mendlik was raised in Fremont, NE. When he is not creating beautiful smiles, Dr. Mendlik loves to spend time with his wife, Lisa and their twin teenagers, Dominic and Lauren. As a family, they enjoy spending time outdoors or on the water, going on vacation, giving back to the community and schools through various activities, and playing with their dog, Remi.
Giving Back
Dr. Mendlik is passionate about giving back to the communities that support him. Mendlik
Orthodontics sponsors various charities, local sports teams, and athletic programs throughout
the community each year. Dr. Mendlik recognizes the importance of education and is most
proud of the Partners In Education program that he started in 2013. Mendlik Orthodontics
partners with local schools by making a donation to every patient’s school that begins treatment
in our office. We have been humbled by the countless letters letting us know what the money
has helped to fund for each school. In giving back, we hope to strengthen educational programs
and opportunities for all students. We are proud to say that Mendlik Orthodontics has donated
more than $41,500 to the Partners In Education program alone!
