Carley M.
My son got his braces on the same day, and we had a great experience. He said he rates them well. It didn’t take too long, and everyone was very nice to him.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great feedback. We are glad the visit went smoothly and that our team was so nice. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
Lori S.
2 weeks ago, I reached out to Rice Orthodontics to schedule a consultation for my son. Brandy, was so kind, patient, and helpful. She answered all my questions and got us scheduled. Today we had our first visit. First impressions were amazing. Front office staff is kind, efficient, and very friendly. Lisa, was the account coordinator we spoke to today and she is wonderful. She explained all the options, pricing, and services. Gave us the option to make a choice and we didn't feel pressured into making a quick decision. Dr. Rice was equally pleasant. He showed us the process for correcting our son's teeth, explained why he needed braces and was even able to put them on today. Which was wonderful since we drove an hour n' a half to this clinic. We choose this clinic based on a review of a friend and I'm sure glad we did. I highly recommend their services. Thank You to the entire staff for making our first visit amazing.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Lori! We are so glad Brandy was kind and patient getting you scheduled and that Lisa explained the options clearly. First impressions matter to us, and we appreciate the kind words about our front office team.
