My daughter had a great experience at Rucker Orthodontics. The staff is extremely friendly and approachable. We started with a consultation - very informative and straight-forward. My daughter was even able to get her braces on the same day which was a huge convenience. Looking forward to seeing my daughter's progress.

So far so good! My son is seeing Dr. Rucker for his second phase of braces. It was hard for me to leave the other practice we were at, but I liked the treatment plan better here. My son liked that they talked him through every step of the process while they installed the braces. Dr. Rucker and his staff are very personable. We’re looking forward to our next phase with this office!

My middle son began orthodontic care three months ago, and his smile is already perfect to the untrained eye. My youngest began today, and he was AMPED because of how kind everyone is here at Rucker Ortho. These people genuinely care, and they make they entire process feel exciting, fun, and happy. Thank you, Rucker peeps. We adore you.

So happy I went with Rucker Ortho! The office staff is amazing and so helpful and friendly. Dr. Rucker took his time during the consult and was even able to accommodate doing braces on both of my kids same day! His assistant Madison was so sweet and patient with my son, explaining each and every step, which put him at ease because he hates having any sort of dental work done. 100% recommend this office!

I got my braces on yesterday. DR. Rucker and his staff are absolutely professional, very welcoming, and beyond caring . I appreciated the young lady who prepped me for the doctor . Kendra , was so sweet. Kendra was very detailed while explaining the prep process. I felt very comfortable knowing what to expect . My experience with Kendra was phenomenal. She is an absolute perfectionist and I loved that about her . When DR. Rucker arrived to start the braces , it was beautiful to hear them work so good together. Lots of positivity and amazing teamwork. The office is clean and beautiful. The entire staff is absolutely amazing!! I highly recommend DR. Rucker !! My case is very complicated and his expertise and positivity to strive and give me that beautiful smile I want has already made me feel so much more confident and excited

Our experience was an A+! I read the reviews prior to making our appointment and they are on point! The office is gorgeous, and the staff is so helpful, informative, and kind. Our family leans more on the holistic and less invasive side of treatment and Rucker Orthodontist executed everything on our list! Thanks to Ana for welcoming us with all good vibes and for providing my kiddos with snacks. Thanks to Maddi for doing such a great job with encouraging my daughter during her treatment, and to the mysterious cookie maker who popped in a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies for my littles while we waited for their big sis. And thank you Doctor Rucker for the opportunity you’ve given my daughter towards a healthy, beautiful smile! We appreciate you all!Oh! AND I can’t forgot to say thank you for all of the amazing gifts you sent us off with! Are you guys for real?😂

The whole team couldn’t have been any more welcoming and encouraging. Ann was super nice, professional, and helpful during my consult . Maddie did a great job in prepping me and finalizing my braces and assisting Dr. Rucker. Dr. Rucker was just as welcoming and encouraging as he whole office was about the whole process and decision to get braces. The facility is very nice and clean. I know I’m in good hands and made the right decision to get braces and Rucker Orthodontics definitely seems like the best place I could have chosen to be on this journey.

Dr. Rucker and all the staff are friendly and made my son feel comfortable, since we first walked in. They treated my son with such kindness, talked to him, and explained how everything was going to work. This was very comforting and important to me, because he was acknowledged and took the worrying away. Thank you.Today, we returned to Dr. Rucker and staff, my daughter has been so excited to get braces. Ann was amazing in talking to her during our consult. She definitely made my daughter feel at ease. The staff are such great friendly people. Thank you for treating my kids special.

Rucker Orthodontist is seriously the best. The ENTIRE staff at his office is so genuinely nice, supportive, and sooooo informative. I have never felt pressured to commit to anything. On the other hand, we were excited to start treatment and couldn't wait. Both our boys will be seeing Dr. Rucker and maybe our baby girl in the future =) Dr. Rucker was our "second opinion" orthodontist and I am sooooo glad we didn't commit to the first. We are all very excited to see the progress.

The whole experience has been phenomenal! From the first phone call to the consult to having the braces put on, the process has been seamless! Ann was so helpful in understanding the process.

So glad we went with this office!!!!

My daughter was referred to Dr. Ruckers office by a friend who had all 3 of her kids braces done here as well. From the moment we walked in the door the staff has been nothing but amazing, kind and reassuring to an 8 year old who was pretty nervous. They explained everything fully to both myself and my daughter and completely put her at ease. BONUS: she was able to get her braces put on right after the consultation which I appreciate as a busy mom.I can’t say enough good things about this ortho practice. I would recommend them 100%.

Would recommend Dr. Rucker to anyone that needs braces. The office is clean and relaxing. The staff are wonderful. We had been told by multiple providers that my daughter’s treatment would require permanent teeth to be removed. But since Dr. Rucker uses newer technology, she was able to keep all of her teeth. Her teeth look amazing! I now have my second kid in braces with Dr. Rucker.

Great service! I brought my oldest daughter here after searching for an orthodontist for some time. We came across Rucker Orthodontics and she received treatment, she had awesome results despite being told by other orthodontist that she would have to have 2 permanent teeth pulled. Rucker Orthodontics was able to complete her treatment without pulling any permanent teeth. Thank you!!!We are now back with our youngest. All staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. Jenni is awesome! Thank you all for being so awesome!!!! Highly recommend this place.

Best experience! I came in for a second opinion because we felt very uncomfortable with the first.

We searched and interviewed a few different places before deciding on Rucker’s Orthodontics. If I am being honest, there was no comparison. The service and attention that they give every patient makes you feel comfortable and part of the family. From the first step in the door, to the treatment chair, to the farewells when you leave, they are more than courteous, they are NICE!They offer the best in technology and host a completely digital experience.The calming decor and photos of deep oceans is relaxing and somehow reassuring.Treatments are always top notch and quick. I know I can count on Dr Rucker to bring the best experience and expertise to my kiddos treatments.Please don’t go anywhere else, this place is the best!
