“Great Orthodontist!!!!”
Dr. Ricks and the entire staff are warm and friendly. I have two kids in braces and they made the whole experience very easy. They were also very flexible with the financial part too!

“The best Orthodonic in town”
Dr Ricks and his office staff are amazing. They take the time to answer questions and appointments are on time. When my son had an issue with a bracket, they fit us in the day I called to fix it. Dr Ricks and his office manager are very caring, too.
They are located on the East side which is saves time and money when coming from Kern Valley. With my insurance deductable, the cost and payments were very reasonable, too.

“A very soothing experience.”
The overall experience has been phenomenal. It is a very relaxing and professional setting that makes it clear what procedures may need to be done, the follow-up care needed, and the comforting care that will take place in between. The client's comfort is first and foremost important to the staff.

“Amazing experience overall”
Dr. Ricks and his team are always friendly, helpful, and welcoming when I come into the office. I was very hesitant to get braces at thirty years old but Dr. Ricks has been amazing in answering all of my questions and making me feel comfortable throughout the process. I have clear braces and people can hardly tell I have anything at all. I am very happy with my experience and I cannot wait to see the end result. I highly recommend Dr. Ricks!

“Amazing doctor and staff”
The doctor and staff are all amazing. I wont go anywhere else for ortho treatment. I initially came for a replacement retainer but now will be bringing my kids for ortho treatment in the future. The office is very welcoming and has a great environment overall.
