Jessie Jane G.

Very kind caring doctor and staff was very nice. They were not in a hurry to just slap on braces on my daughter they cared about resolving some baby teeth that need to fall out first before moving forward. I'm glad that they have a good payment option. We look forward to coming back here in the near to get our daughter braces..

Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review and kind words! Have a blessed day!!

Recently, took my son for consultation with the Rice Ortho. office. We had a great experience with staff and Dr. Rice. They are all very professional and very informative. Glad we chose this office for orthodontic treatment.

Dr Rice and his staff are excellent! They really care about their patients (you’re not just another dollar sign or number walking in the door per say), they go above and beyond my expectations of service and you leave there with all your questions answered and smile!!

Response from the owner:Thank you, LaSha! We truly appreciate your kind words and 5 start review. Have a blessed day!!

Denise P.

Dr. rice and his staff are very down-to -earth, honest, friendly, and helpful. We were treated with honest-to-goodness kindness from the minute we walked in for my consultation. All options for treatment were laid out objectively by Dr. Rice (without trying to sell me on something I didn’t necessarily need), and even the lady who went over the financials with us (Lisa) went out of her way (very close to her lunch break) to find out from my insurance whether I had adult ortho insurance or not.My experience was great! I walked out of there with full braces at 49 years old, and I am excited about continuing treatment with them. I would highly recommend Rice Orthodintics!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words and 5 star review, Denise! We enjoyed meeting you, your daughter and granddaughter yesterday! We’re so glad you chose us to be a part of this exciting journey. Have a blessed day!
