Patient Reviews

My son had his first appt for his braces. It was a great experience. Staff and Dr were very friendly and answered any questions we had. I can’t wait to see my sons teeth transformation.

Just got my 4th and last child into braces by Dr Rucker! Alexis (sp?) was very professional, caring and sweet while getting my daughter polished and prepped for braces. As always, the entire experience went smooth and comfortable along with some cool extras at the end and great information on how to care for her braces. My daughter was so happy with the results!
We love Rucker Orthodontics and so thankful for their awesome service for approximately 10 years off and on with each of my kids!

Such an amazing quick experience, as well such great hospitality felt comfortable and welcomed.

Had a great first experience at Rucker orthodontics. Was able to go in for a consult and get my son braces the same day. Will highly recommend!

Friend staff and knowledgeable staff. Walked through the entire process making the experience a good one for my daughter

Excellent service! Very friendly

So far so good. We just got them on! Smooth and easy!

Wow!!! What a smooth, fun, informative experience for both my daughter and me. This is our first braces experience as a family and we feel like we are definitely in great hands. Thank you to the whole team for making us feel taken care of!

I just got braces today, and my little brother had his here as well! We love the decor and vibe the staff are amazing, I highly recommend!!

Hands down the best Ortho in our area. My son is wrapping up his only phase of braces and my daughter who is now in her second phase. All of our experiences at Dr. Rucker’s office have exceeded our expectations. Both offices are clean, modern, and well-organized, and scheduling has always been so easy and accommodating. Most importantly, the results have been amazing. Will continue to come here for all future orthodontic needs.

Great staff, very friendly and knowledgeable

Timmy was awesome! He talked my daughter through the whole process! We love Rucker and we are excited to have our third and final daughter on her journey to a more beautiful smile!!!

Our experience at Rucker Orthodontics has been beyond great. My son, Noah Ayala (12), is costeophobic and can become very anxious in medical and dental environments. From the moment we walked in, we were met with warmth, patience, and genuine care.

The dental assistant was incredibly supportive and compassionate, taking extra time to comfort Noah and guide him through everything in a way that made him feel safe and understood. Her kindness truly stood out and made a huge difference for him.

The dentists and front desk staff have been just as wonderful—welcoming, thorough, and always willing to explain things clearly. The entire environment feels calm, reassuring, and family-centered, which is such a gift when your child struggles with fear or anxiety.

We are deeply grateful for the care and respect shown to our son. Rucker Orthodontics is a place where patients are truly seen and treated with heart. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Just received my clear aligners after the holidays. Due to the holidays, it took longer than expected to receive my aligners, but Dr. Rucker called me personally to apologize and reassure me. Everyone is so nice and friendly.

3rd and final child to go through Rucker Ortho! Super excited about the new Murrieta location. Very convenient and it’s a gorgeous office. Millennial parents will dig the soundtrack too. Staff is kind and very good with kiddos.

Fast and smooth. Painless. Answered all my questions and we felt completely informed. Glad to be a part of the Rucker experience.

So glad we decided to come to Rucker. We got their name from a family friend and they did not disappoint! Check in was smooth even though they were really busy. The free consultation was quick and we got our daughter’s braces on the same day. The staff is knowledgeable and just a lot of fun. Rosie and Dr. John were an awesome team!

Rucker Orthodontist is the best! Both my kids have had braces by Rucker and we are so pleased with their results so far. My daughter just got her second faze on today and she’s so excited to have braces on again. Would highly recommend Rucker to anyone who needs braces.

Oldests first set of braces, well informed and kind staff

Amazing experience, would recommend Rucker Ortho to anyone!!

We had an amazing experience! The dentist and the staff were friendly, professional and nice.Highly recommended!!!

This office was recommended by our dentist and I was extremely happy with all the staff and the doctors. I will definitely be bringing my other kids here when it’s time!

Rucker is the best choice for ortho!!! Everyone was so kind and informative. They made the education process easy and visual. They use top of the line techniques and technology and in doing so my son was able to skip a painful process the other offices had insisted on. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to be their patient, and with 0% financing it was an affordable solution. We actually look forward to seeing them again 🙂 Beautiful office and all personnel are so friendly. Rosie is an experienced Technician and Dr Ryan is cool, which put my son at ease. Kids deserve the best care and this is the place to receive it!!!

Office and staff are great. Super informative and helpful with everything.

We have had a great experience with Rucker. The staff has been wonderful and the Dr is very nice and professional. The office is so pretty and clean. We are very happy.

Great experience definitely recommend getting braces here appreciate the whole team.

Staff was amazing ! Everything was so clean !

Office staff friendly, Dr. Rucker very knowledgeable and personable.

Amazing experience!

Everyone was great. We did not have a great experience from our previous ortho. Rucker is a breath of fresh air. They really care about their clients , their well being, and experience.
