Our 5-Star Experience

Check out what our patients are saying about their 5-star experience with our amazing team here at Rucker Orthodontics!

They were amazing. We had a quote for less, but their office was worth the extra $. Someone was always available to speak with, they got us in and out quickly, and I watched how they... treated other patients to make sure they weren’t just giving us the royal treatment to get us to stay. We are excited to have our kids hereread more

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

Dr. Rucker and staff are wonderful. In and out faster than expected each visit. This is my first time with braces (Invisalign) and they made it soooo easy to get started. The only thing... that could have made it better was if they were free! Haha! Love the office and the positive vibes you get while there.P.S. I think I messed up...haha. I think I erased my original review from a few years ago when our son got his braces with Dr. Rucker. Oops! Ah, well. Great experience a few years ago with our son and now a great experience for ME! It's MY turn!read more

Some people just “get it”, and Dr Rucker is one of them.read more

UPDATE: Still 5 stars!!!!! My daughter just started Phase 2 so this this our 4th round with Rucker. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Rosie assisted with my daughter’s bonding and... she has been there since the beginning for us so she is one of our favorites.Our orthodontic journey started way back in 2017. I probably went to about 5 consultations (yes, I know that's crazy!) before choosing Dr. Rucker. We were seeing a different orthodontist for recalls and when my general dentist (who I trust 100% and tends to be on the conservative side for treatment plans) highly recommended for me to get another opinion when the other orthodontist suggested postponing treatment, I started to look elsewhere. Of the other consults, 2 recommended waiting, 1 recommended expander on lower and upper (all I could think of is how uncomfortable this would be for my kiddo) and the rest recommended an upper expander as part of the treatment plan. Dr. Rucker assured me that he could accomplish the same or better with NO expander. I decided to trust his process and would get my general dentist's opinion on progress whenever we go for recalls and he would always tell me he was very happy with my son's progress.Here are a few things that I loved about his office: the office was always very clean and just overall nice looking, the staff were experienced and knew what they were talking about, there was never a long wait, they would do nice extras like giving my kids a frozen yogurt gift card at start of treatment and a fancy candy apple at the end of treatment (these are little things that really make someone's day). I have heard so many other people talk about having to take their kids back to orthodontist because a bracket comes off, etc...sometimes the very same day they get braces on...in my experience, this kind of stuff does not happen at Rucker...at Rucker, he himself is very involved in the bonding process and you will get top quality treatment. I appreciate this as I don't want to be driving back and forth to the orthodontist to fix issues that shouldn't happen in the first place. Another big plus, Dr. Rucker is not one of those orthodontist who will refer you out for things he can handle himself, while using the latest technology. Huge thank you Dr. Rucker for handling my kids laser gum treatments!Since our journey started, my son has completed phase 1 and just started phase 2 today. My daughter has also completed phase 1. We are 100% satisfied with their results of their treatment. I wish I could post pictures here so I could show off their before and after pics!Minor downsides:Dr. Rucker has become quite popular and sometimes there is now a little bit of a wait (not a complaint, but not how it used to be when we first started).Also, since he has grown, he now has additional staff (not all have the same ortho experience as our go-to assistant back when we first started). Again, not a complaint, we just got a little spoiled with the Varsity team ;-)Communication is not how it used to be. The couple of times I have called recently, I get voicemail, didn't get a response to a recent email, had to ask for my daughters before/after photos multiple times before receiving them, sat out in the parking lot for a while when we were asked to text upon arrival (due to COVID and they somehow missed my text), and didn't receive an email I was supposed to get with my son's treatment plan. I did get a new number to text today so time will tell if this improves.Rucker is not going to be the cheapest dentist in town, but I would much rather pay a little more for quality treatment. Remember, you only get one set of adult teeth!Bottomline: I highly recommend Dr. Rucker! I am so happy he is treating my children and can't wait to see their final, final results after Phase 2. Go to Rucker...you won't be disappointed! He always seems the have the latest and greatest available....I feel assured I am doing the best thing for my children.Big thanks for Rucker and staff for taking care of us for the last 4 years!read more
