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.

Everyone working there was super nice, it was quick, easy, and they got me on the path to fixing my teeth. It’s also a really nice, clean, and modern establishment. It’s an orthodontist I’d actually recommend going to
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review! We are so happy to hear that you were satisfied with your experience at our office. We hope to see you soon again :)
Carmen H.
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.
Brian A.
Rucker has been great for my two sons and me! Great office staff, and convenient locations.
Savannah A.
I’m so happy to have found an orthodontist office like this. My 12 year old daughter really struggles with any kind of medical related appointments, anxiety kicks in usually the second we walk in the door. She absolutely loves Rucker Orthodontics! Everyone is so friendly! They hype her up while also keeping her involved in every step. This means everything. I know they provide quality work but their customer service is truly what stands out!
Jessica G.
We always feel very cared for and informed at each visit. Everyone made the entire process comfortable and efficient! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review! :)
Katie R.
Dr. Rucker and his team are all wonderful! I got Invisalign back in 2020 and we are back to get braces on my daughter. I’m a repeat client myself and I recommend him to all my family and friends! The office is so clean and the technology is top notch!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review! We are so happy to hear that you were satisfied with your experience at our office. We hope to see you soon again :)
carissa J.
Great experience with Dr. Ruckers office!!! My son came in nervous but the entire office staff helped him and me feel comfortable. From the first moment we stepped in, through the next appointment putting the braces on, it was a kind and patient experience. The hygienist was knowledgeable and explained step by step what she was doing throughout the whole process. The Dr was quick and efficient and again spoke kindly to my nervous son to put him at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Rucker Orthodontics!!!
Response from the owner:Really appreciate the feedback! We are so delighted to hear that you had a great experience.
Antonie van der B.
