Rucker Orthodontics has been an absolute joy to work with in getting our daughter the perfect smile she so desires. We came in for a consult and my princess walked out with the biggest... smile wearing a full mouthful of braces. She is so overjoyed and it makes me so happy to see her beaming with excitement.The staff is wonderful. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with friendly hellos and smiles. Their waiting room is very cozy and comfortable. There is even gaming entertainment provided for siblings while they wait. They promptly brought my daughter back to do her X-rays and plan out her treatment. Then we met with Dr. Rucker and he was ready to do a same day treatment for us. Melodys teeth were cleaned and prepped by Makenna and then Dr. Rucker carefully placed each bracket on her. They came out beautiful.We were given after care instructions, future appointment and sent on our merry way with awesome swag and smiles.I highly recommend Dr. Rucker and his team. We cannot wait for our future visits and end results. Thank you to everyone at Rucker Orthodontics for everything.read more

Chose Rucker based on 2 reasons: his conservative approach so my kids didn’t have to have a lot of teeth pulled, and the comfort we felt from the moment we walked in the office. All the... people there were so welcoming and friendly and happy! Dr. Rucker was very good at explaining the process to us and answering questions, and when I had more questions after leaving the office, they answered my questions in a return phone call right away. In the office on application day, the kids were nervous but everyone eased their minds with their friendly and fun attitudes. My kids were excited by the exit cookies and swag bags they left with too!read more

Dr. Rucker and his staff are above and beyond. We went to two other orthodontists for consultations prior to our visit to Rucker.

Extremely professional and we were walked through everything to expect with great detail. Their pick your payment option or pay in full were unmatched by the others.

We are excited to have our kids hereread more

Danielle N.

I can not say enough wonderful and amazing things about this office. My daughter was very nervous to get braces because she has sensory issues, especially concerning her teeth. We went in... and the staff was SO kind and compassionate from beginning to end. Anna was fantastic at going through everything from beginning to end with us. We understood all the options, the costs associated with each, and the pros and cons of each. Dr. Rucker then came in and answered any and all questions that we had until we felt comfortable. Maddy, who helped put the braces in on is an absolute sweetheart and was so patient and comforting to my daughter when she would get nervous or panicky when they put the braces on. Honestly I feel so lucky that we found this office and this is where our daughter’s experience with braces will be. You can tell that ALL the staff that works their really cares about the people they take care of.read more

This place is like a hotel for teeth. I started my Invisalign Journey in March and ever since then— patient care has been top tier:From answering all my text message questions in a timely... matter and today — a metal piece that holds my rubber band popped off and they were able to fit me in during my lunch time.Dr Rucker is friendly, knowledgeable, and helping me get my confidence back. He did a great job at hiring a team who loves their job as much as he does, that I want to join his Team too.Anne is the BEST giving me options and never pushed me into something I didn’t want. We also discussed other procedures that made me feel well taken care of when I finish my treatment. I also loved how she remembered me when I came in today.Rosie is hands down The-Best. Personable + full of info + my coach / hype WOman in my Invisalign journey. If you don’t meet her, you’re totally missing out.Maddie is fast, efficient, and friendly! She helped put back my metal bracket today. Painless and was in and out.Mitra at Check-out is always friendly and helpful getting me in since I’ve started. And I believe she mainly answers my texts and forwards it to Rosie.Team work really makes the dream work here.*** Book now! ***[Response to comment]You all do more than just try :)I believe in good karma and this practice receives what they give.10 across the board. I appreciate everyone! See you in June.read more
