Meet Dr. Jeff McMullin of Idaho Orthodontics—born and raised in Pocatello, passionate about transforming smiles, and dedicated to creating a welcoming experience for every patient.
I'm Dr. Jeff McMinn, orthodontist at Idaho Orthodontics. I was born and raised in Pocatello, and my father was also an orthodontist in Pocatello and Blackfoot. That gave me early exposure to the world of orthodontics. I started working with him as a sterilizer as a teenager, and that experience sparked my desire to become an orthodontist myself.
There are two things I enjoy most about this profession. First, the interpersonal relationships I get to develop with both patients and their parents. Second, I love seeing the transformation in my patients’ lives. There’s nothing better than hearing someone say they now love to smile—something they didn’t feel confident doing before.
Growing up in Pocatello was a blessing. I’ve always loved the outdoors—biking, skiing, golfing, and boating—and this area has it all right nearby. I’ve lived in several places throughout the U.S. during my education, and I can honestly say the people in southeast Idaho are some of the kindest and most genuine I’ve ever met.
Outside of work, it’s shorts, flip-flops, and a baseball cap. I enjoy getting home, hopping on my bike, and riding in the hills of Pocatello. My family and I also love spending time at American Falls Reservoir, wakeboarding, wake surfing, and just enjoying time together. Weekends are usually busier than weekdays for us!
When people ask why I chose to return to southeast Idaho to raise a family, my answer is simple: I wouldn’t have it any other way.
At Idaho Orthodontics, our goal is to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for every patient. From your very first visit, we aim to make you feel calm and never pressured. Our role is to educate and support you in making the decision that’s best for you or your child.
With two orthodontists—Dr. Brown and myself—working together, every case gets a built-in second opinion. We review treatment plans as a team to ensure the best outcome possible.
If you've ever considered orthodontic treatment for yourself or your child, I’d love the opportunity to sit down, explore your options, and help you make a decision that could change your life.
