I would truly recommend friends & family to Braces By Dr Ruth! The staff was very welcoming, friendly & kind. I was given a nice little tour of the office by lovely Ms April, service was quick and detailed, I felt in that moment I made the right choice choosing Dr Ruth, who is also kind & lovely herself. Thank you again & I can’t wait to begin my journey!!
The place was warm and inviting all smiling friendly faces. April was the best she showed me around the Facilityexplained my treatment plan Dr. Ruth did her check on me and I cannot wait to start my braces journey.
I had a really good experience here. They were able to get me in and actually put my braces on the same day, which I wasn’t expecting but really appreciated. Everyone there was super nice and made the whole process feel easy and not stressful at all. April was awesome as well! She explained everything in a way that made sense and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. You can tell they really care about their patients. I’d definitely recommend coming here if you’re thinking about getting braces.
10 out of 10! Best service I’ve ever had at any doctors/dental office ever in my life! The entire staff is super friendly! April was amazing! Dr Ruth was amazing! I love that they were honest with me and told me I don’t really NEED braces. I feel like a lot of doctors are money hungry and try to sell you on stuff you don’t need, but they didn’t. They told me what I COULD do but agreed that it wasn’t necessarily necessary. Love the office! It’s so cute and colorful! Appointment started on time and moved expeditiously! entire consultation was complete in less than 30 minutes. If I ever do decide to get braces, I will be going back there for sure!
I have never experienced better hospitality at a healthcare or dental office than I did at Braces by Dr. Ruth. After having previous braces done elsewhere, I was experiencing issues with my bite, and it was such a relief to find a team that was not only knowledgeable but incredibly welcoming and supportive. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by April, who brought such positivity and enthusiasm to the experience. She immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. The entire office environment truly felt like home. I also deeply appreciated their flexibility. Originally, I was told the earliest availability would be in April, which was already two months ahead of schedule. However, they went above and beyond to accommodate my specific needs and were able to fit me in sooner, which meant so much to me. Overall, I highly recommend this office to anyone seeking dental services. You will not regret choosing Braces by Dr. Ruth.
