We chose Dr. Rucker for our youngest's phase 1 treatment. The office is well appointed and the front office staff are very friendly. The office is also easy to get to and access. The paperwork and records can be accessed digitally, which is really great. Look forward to seeing my daughter's results!

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.

Dr. Rucker and his entire staff are welcoming, professional and organized. My oldest went through the entire braces process. We now have our younger 2 children in Damon braces through Dr. Rucker’s office. We highly recommend this orthodontist.

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.

We just started at Rucker for orthodontic care for our son, and I could not be more pleased with the process so far. They have been helpful and efficient figuring out insurance and finances. The first visit to put braces on our ten year old was smooth and pleasant. They were very kind and patient with my nervous kiddo. Dr. Rucker and his staff have been great to work with so far, we are excited to have them caring for our son’s smile!

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. Not only were we made to feel at ease but both my daughter and I fully understood what needed to happen and were 100% comfortable and happy. Many friends of our come here and I know why now, great staff and awesome Dr. Definitely will bring my son and recommend to others.

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!

This high tech, Orthodontic specialty practice is doing it right for so many reasons. We had a great first impression walking into a beautifully appointed, clean office. The more we interacted with the doctor and staff, the more impressed we were! You can feel that this team loves what they do and genuinely cares about being part of giving the gift of a lifetime—a beautiful smile and healthy bite. I was so pleased to learn that this practice cares about the community they serve by giving back. I’m sure their generosity comes back to them 10 fold by attracting pediatric and adult patients seeking personalize, cutting edge care.

Just got my braces put on today, and I am so happy I finally started. Dr. Rucker and his staff (Ann and Mckenna helped me out a bunch) are very sweet and professional! They were very detailed, and kindly answered all of my questions. Picking this office to start my journey with was one of the best decisions I have made.

Dr. Rucker and this office are wonderful. There were many seamlessly moving parts in our experience. Beginning with their website and videos, explaining what braces options look like in 2021. Followed by a late afternoon, same day detailed consultation, and leaving the office after hours, with braces on my child. It’s an experience in itself seeing you little one move to that next stage of braces, I feel confident, even happy that I lucked into this office and made a great decision today.

We have been coming to Rucker Orthodontist since 2015. With my 3rd child now getting his braces on. We’ve had the opportunity to watch this business grow and take on more patients and the service has never faltered. We’ve always had great experiences and my children always leave happy. From the front office staff, to the ladies in the back everyone has been so friendly and accommodating. Dr. Rucker also gives back to the community including my children’s high school!

Wow is the first thought that comes to mind. What an amazing experience! This is my daughters second set of braces at Ruckers (phase 2) and each time we come here it is a professional and wonderful experience. Bailey was just amazing; so kind, patient and very knowledgeable. She made my daughter feel comfortable and the braces experience so much easier. Thank you so much to all the staff!

We love Rucker Orthodontics! Everyone is so nice and and friendly. My older son got braces there in middle school, he is in High School now and his teeth look amazing. My younger son is now in middle school and just got them on. We cannot wait to watch the process of his teeth straightening. Dr. Rucker is great with the kids. We highly recommend.

First day here with my daughter. Office is nice and clean, friendly receptionist, at consult, they are upfront and thorough with dental and payment options.. We decided this was a good place and they got started right away. They are patient and talked to my daughter as they worked on her letting her know what was being done and what would be next. Its nice they let both of us know what to expect. Braces are a big decision so who you go through makes a big difference because its a lengthy process.

From our first contact (via phone), through every step in the process of getting braces on, we have felt throughly comfortable and confident in Rucker's Orthodontics. The staff, including front desk, financial assistance, dental assistants and Dr. Rucker are all so kind, helpful, efficient, and professional. We had all of our questions answered in a patient and understanding way. We highly recommend Rucker's Orthodontics!

I just had my own braces removed at another office and my son wasn’t excited to get them, until we went to Rucker Orthodotics! He said it was the best experience, and was actually excited to get them put on today. Dr. Rucker and the staff are so amazing and did everything to make sure me and my son were comfortable. We are excited to see the results after treatment!

I have always seen Dr. Rucker’s signs around all the schools. I love that he supports our schools. We came in to have an evaluation and they were very professional and informative. Ultimately he got his braces the same day. Bailey was very sweet and kind to my son. She made him feel comfortable and safe during the process of applying the brackets. Dr. Rucker was very nice and and professional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone that needs ortho work!

Amazing doctor who really cares about his patients.Dr. Rucker and I had small hiccup throughout the treatment.But we both wanted to see this through. And I can tell he wants to make things right between him and I.If you ever have any problems. He is more than willing to work with you on the process.You just have to let him know.

The team at Rucker Orthodontics is awesome! My daughter has needed braces for awhile but the timing was never quite right to start her treatments. So glad we waited till she found Rucker Orthodontics! She’s seen other orthodontists, but this team blows the others out of the water. The staff and doctor are friendly, caring, and instantly put her at ease. Their office is state-of-the-art and all COVID precautions are taken to ensure everyone stays safe. I can’t recommend Rucker Orthodontics highly enough!
