Veronica G.
I love Rucker Orthodontics! This review is specifically about my experience today. Mia is exactly the type of person who makes orthodontic appointments enjoyable! She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable throughout my visit. Before replacing my wires, she also took the time to remove the hard buildup on my teeth that regular brushing could not remove. I truly appreciated her extra care and attention to detail. I cannot say enough about how much it means to be treated with such kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Mia embodies all of those qualities naturally. Kudos to Mia - Rucker Orthodontics is fortunate to have such a wonderful and exemplary team member!
alexis D.
Great office. Dr Ryan is board certified and very very knowledgeable, and the staff is very friendly. 10/10 recommend.
Lina B.
This is by far the best orthodontist we have ever been too. Their facilities are clean and modern. Their staff is super helpful, patient and understanding. Both of our kids had severe cases one with a very bad overbite and the other the two front teeth couldn’t come down as my daughters mouth was to small and her side teeth were stopping them from coming down. Their braces system (new technology) are able to move without having to crank the teeth from the top of the roof. Both of my kids teeth have been transformed in a short time (still have a long time to go) but the overbite was improved to almost gone and my daughter teeth have come down. So thankful for this Rucker orthodontics!!
Krisha C.

Caroline A.
My son was a little nervous for his appointment today. But his assistant made him feel super comfortable, laugh and in the end he said that was “too easy”. Thanks for making the adjustment a cool experience.
Lacie R.
Rucker Orthodontics has been nothing short of amazing! Both doctors are knowledgeable, professional, and personable. They take the time to explain everything and make you feel comfortable every step of the way. Alexis was great to work with and made my daughter feel comfortable. The entire staff is exceptional. Everyone is warm, personable, and consistently goes above and beyond to make every visit a great experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with kindness. The office is clean and welcoming. Their customer service is outstanding, and it's clear they take pride in providing the best experience possible. If you're looking for an orthodontic office that combines exceptional care with incredible customer service, I highly recommend Rucker Orthodontics.

This is an exceptional orthodontic office. Both of my daughters and myself have been patient for braces and retainers. Super clean, two locations, and an amazing staff. I would recommend to anyone looking for braces, especially for their children. I have never seen an unhappy child in their office.
