The History of Mill Creek Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates

The original member of our group was Paul J. Murphy, DDS. He opened his private practice in oral and maxillofacial surgery in Youngstown, Ohio in 1957. He was joined 10 years later by Richard W. Lewis, DDS. They opened a second office on Austintown in 1983.  In 1986, their Youngstown office was moved to Boardman.

Mark L. Billy, DDS joined the staff in 1996. It was soon thereafter that the practice was renamed “Mill Creek Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates”.

In 1998, the practice expanded with the addition of Melvin Fader, DDS and his office on Fifth Avenue in Youngstown. Dr. Fader had been in a solo practice in oral and maxillofacial surgery since 1960.

Craig A. Wagley, DDS, MD joined the staff in 1999. The practice’s progress continued in the summer of 2001 when its Fifth Avenue office was relocated to Liberty.  This office closed upon the retirement of Drs. Murphy, Lewis and Fader.

The most recent addition to the team was Neilson L. Wagley, DMD who joined our team in 2021.  He is the son of Dr. Craig Wagley and the practice is genuinely blessed to have him help us carry on the tradition of caring service to our community.

Dr. Billy and Dr. Wagley and their staff carry on the tradition of service to the community by continuing to staff offices in Austintown and Boardman.
