Martha H.
The office is fantastic from check-in to the installation of phase 1 braces. Kenna is truly exceptional and patient, especially if you have a child with high anxiety about going to the dentist. I highly recommend asking for her.
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 :)
Erin R.
Alrighty! Our second child got their braces on today. As usual Rucker is the best! So professional and customer service like you just don't get anywhere else these days. Thanks!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Erin! We're thrilled to hear that you're excited for your son's journey with us. We look forward to supporting you both every step of the way!
Brittany B.
Awesome experience! My son was so nervous coming in but everyone was so nice and made him feel so comfortable. He loves the braces and is so excited now! Thank you to everyone who made him feel so comfortable!
Elizabeth J.
This is our 2nd phase of braces. The first phase was such a breeze! I recommend Rucker to everyone I know! We couldn’t have been happier with our daughter’s experience!
Talor S.
Rucker has been amazing! Such a beautiful office with the friendliest staff. Everyone makes you feel so comfortable and is always happy to answer any questions you have—no matter how silly you may think they are! They take the time to explain everything in detail and truly make you feel like part of their family. We’ve had such a great experience and couldn’t recommend them enough!

Great experience!!! So amazed with modern day dentistry! Brought my 8 year old and 10 year old for a consultation. They offered us same day braces and everything went great! Super friendly staff, modern and clean office. Would highly recommend :)
Response from the owner:Really appreciate the feedback! We are so delighted to hear that you had a great experience.
Jonno D.
McKenna was amazing and so was Dr Rucker! Fast, smooth and easy!!
Salena S.
We had such a wonderful experience! My 8-year-old daughter was very nervous about getting her braces on, but Makenna went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and calm. She was so patient, kind, and reassuring, and completely turned her nerves into excitement. Highly recommend Dr. Rucker and his team for your children’s braces!
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 :)
