Fantastic experience: My daughter was very nervous about going to the orthodontist, but the staff was very welcoming! Ms. Jordan was pleasant and gave a tour of the place. Dr. Ruth was kind as well. It was so great my daughter went from not wanting to be there to disappointed she has to wait a few more months to determine if she should get braces.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved my first impression of Dr Ruth office. All the staff were very welcoming and they gave me and my son a tour before we started anything, they are very children friendly and I love that!! My 13 son has autism and he was very shy and they loosened him up by asking him question about his interests, and hobbies. Dr Ruth was very nice and gentle. I love the financial plan she gave us on braces they are very affordable. Thanks again Dr Ruth office you guys have an amazing team! Will see you soon. ❤️

The office staff was friendly Budenia was super friendly with the kids and made them feel comfortable. Dr Ruth was so friendly and explained everything that she was doing and also talked with the kids to make sure they were comfortable and understood the situation of their appointment.

Evelyn Renee 3 months ago

Negative experience: I set my and my daughters appointment weeks ago for the same day. I got four texts over those two weeks confirming our appointments at 9:55a today. I get there at 9:50a and apparently my first appointment was at 8:55 and it’s $100.00 to reschedule. The receptionist April was all smiles as she told me this and confirmed that no text was sent regarding the correct appointment times to my or her dads number so I opted to go else where and have my daughter seen.. now her new patient paperwork has to be completed or she has to be rescheduled…also never sent but April is still smiling. Great place! Really

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into Braces by Dr. Ruth, I knew I had made the right choice. April welcomed me with a perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. Her friendly demeanor truly made my morning and set the tone for an exceptional experience. Then I met Dr. Ruth, and it instantly became clear that I was in expert hands. Her calm, knowledgeable approach made the decision effortless. Just when I thought the experience couldn’t get any better, Kemiya stepped in to walk me through every detail of the process and aftercare. She explained everything with such clarity and care that I felt completely confident with my decision to move forward. What started as a consultation quickly turned into the beginning of my braces journey, and I couldn’t be happier! Huge thanks to Dr. Ruth, April and Kemiya for making what could have been a nerve-wracking process feel easy, empowering, and genuinely exciting. I’m so glad I chose this team!

Royalte Bohannon 5 months ago

Negative experience: 0/5 SHES MONEY HUNGRY Initially Everything started off great when she was receiving payments and finished treatment. I then called in office with a concern about my retainer, it was loose only in the back. I originally needed to reschedule my appointment but was told it’s a $50 fee to reschedule so I went ahead to my appointment. When I arrived at my appointment they canceled it and said she was about to leave but they allowed me to be seen. When she came in to see me, she instantly started asking me and my boyfriend how long we had been together and why we weren’t married. She mention that if she was in my shoes she would be looking for another man ( remind you we are in front of my boyfriend ) this gave a weird vibe. She then proceeded to correct my retainer and bent it over 3 times which made the fit of my retainer worse. When I explained this to her when she asked how the retainer fits… she instantly got defensive, stated she didn’t know what to do and that I needed to purchase another $500 retainer due to her causing the issue to be worse. She then walked out of my appointment and said my time was up. I had to report her to the state board.

Braces By Dr. Ruth
Braces By Dr. Ruth

Royalte,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. At Braces by Dr. Ruth, we are committed to delivering high-quality care in a respectful and professional environment for every patient.

That said, we want to address several key points directly. It is not reasonable to expect free services in any professional healthcare setting. Like most practices, we have clearly stated policies regarding late arrivals, cancellations, and rescheduling. These rules exist to ensure fairness and efficiency for all patients and staff. In your case, you contacted our office to cancel on the same day, which falls under our same-day cancellation policy and results in a $50 fee. You later chose to arrive in person to avoid that fee. Even though you were late, we still made efforts to accommodate you.

Regarding your retainer, our clinical recommendation was made based on its compromised condition. After attempts to adjust it proved ineffective, we advised a replacement as the most appropriate course of action. Declining that recommendation was your choice, but it does not change the clinical reality.

We also acknowledge your concerns about the tone of the appointment. Our team strives to maintain a courteous and professional atmosphere, and if your experience fell short of that, we take that seriously and are reviewing it internally. However, Dr. Ruth does believe in family and marriage and tries to encourage young people to do the same.

We welcome further discussion if you wish to speak more about your concerns. Please contact us directly at 615-321-3663.

Sandy Gerges 7 months ago

Negative experience: Worst Experience Ever! After 4 years of wearing braces and strictly following all instructions and appointments, the results were extremely disappointing. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, Dr Ruth responded in an unprofessional and dismissive manner instead of taking responsibility or offering any solutions. Worse yet, her behavior during appointments was inappropriate and unprofessional. I do not recommend this clinic to anyone seeking quality treatment or professional service . The biggest issue was the unprofessional and discriminatory treatment I received. It was clear that I was treated this way because I don’t share the same skin color as her.

Braces By Dr. Ruth
Braces By Dr. Ruth

Sandy,
Thank you for your feedback. I hope you, your two toddlers, and your super nice husband, Mina, are doing well. We're sorry to hear you feel this way about your treatment two years later. In an ideal world, everyone would have the same perfect experience, but orthodontics is a bit like a puzzle – sometimes, pieces move in unexpected ways, and timing, like you missing appointments or changes in your oral hygiene, can impact the outcome. We always do our best to help our patients achieve the results they expect.
As for your comment about skin color, I'm a bit perplexed – as an African American, the notion that I could be discriminatory towards you is certainly surprising. We treat all of our patients with the utmost respect and professionalism, regardless of background. We're all human, after all.
In any case, we take your concerns seriously and will review everything to see how we can make future experiences better. Wishing you all the best on your dental journey!
But I think, minus the swollen gums, you had a nice result.

J Darby 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Braces by Dr. Ruth for a consultation, and I'm so happy I did! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was fantastic. The best part? I saved $7K! It turns out I don't actually need braces "again". Dr. Ruth said if I wanted them, it would be purely for personal reasons, as the change would be so minimal it wouldn't even be noticeable. I was originally considering Invisalign through my dentist, but I wasn't keen on paying the full amount upfront or opening a credit line. What I wasn't told was that Invisalign wouldn't make a significant difference for me. So, I'm beyond grateful I chose Dr. Ruth for a consultation and found an honest orthodontist. Now, I get to keep that money!

Fantastic experience: I never write reviews, but I had to for Braces by Dr. Ruth because the experience was just that good! I haven’t actually started treatment yet, but my initial consultation was incredible. The team was so welcoming and knowledgeable, and they really made me feel like I was part of the process every step of the way. As an adult getting braces (again), I was feeling a little awkward going in. Growing up, I remember orthodontic offices being filled with kids, and while there were definitely a lot of kids there this time too, they made it a totally comfortable and normal experience. On top of that, Dr. Ruth and the treatment coordinator, April, were so genuine and kind. I mentioned that I’m getting married soon, and they were actually excited for me—not in a generic way, but in a way that felt really organic and sincere. Overall, it was just a great experience from start to finish, and I’m really looking forward to starting my braces journey with them. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who makes you feel informed, comfortable, and valued, I highly recommend them!

Frank Smith 11 months ago

Negative experience: It actually pains me to write this, but after 4 YEARS and nearly TEN THOUSAND dollars between son and myself, I couldn’t remain silent about this disastrous experience. I started my orthodontic treatment in November 2020 to close the gaps between my teeth. In 2022, I moved two hours away, yet continued to drive to Nashville to continue my treatment (once every 3 months by the way). By November 2024, I still had significant gaps and made the decision to switch to a great orthodontist (Dr. Daniel Sawrie of Chattanooga) who actually gives a damn about my treatment. I should say this: Dr. Ruth is a good orthodontist and she knows her stuff. But I failed to ask questions and force her to take more than a cursory look at my situation and explore more in-depth treatment. I wore the bands, bought her products (a vibrating device that allegedly spurs tooth movement), her branded electric toothbrush and it led to ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Four years later and my son is still in his braces with limited movement. The problem with this practice is they seem to apply a one-size-fits-all approach to all of their patients. Nevermind the fact that strangers are lined up in the same space getting treatment, so everyone can hear your business. It’s the fact that Dr. Ruth spends less than 5 minutes with you during your visits. Most of the time, you’re being seen by a seemingly revolving door of staff (other than the awesome Ms. Eugenia, I never saw the same hygienist more than once). In the beginning, it’s going to be all good because they have to win your business. But over time, I had two specific areas where my teeth would not shift. The over-reliance on “power chains” created so much pain that my dentist advised me to tell Dr. Ruth to make adjustments. Another key difference? Dr. Ruth blamed my overly swollen gums on a nickel allergy (which I knew I didn’t have). Dr. Thomas Van Zyl of Chattanooga took one look at my gums and asked if I was taking blood pressure medication. After few calls between Dr. Van Zyl, Dr. Sawrie, and my doctor and we were able to switch to a medication that allowed that swelling in my gums to subside by a significant margin. That’s the type of professionalism and attention to detail that BDR lacks. But if you want to be in a TikTok or Instagram video, BDR is your place! Speaking of professionalism, I don’t know what the hell is going on, but I’ve had more than one instance where a call was not returned. I know times are hard when it comes to hiring, but I’ve seen friendlier folks at 7-Eleven than the people working the front desk. You don’t have to be bubbly, but you can at least be polite. Dr. Ruth, these folks are the face of your business. The lady in finance is a professional and she was very nice during every interaction; hire more folks like her! Of course, the reason I had to see her is because BDR absolutely made sure to collect their payments! I would’ve preferred to keep all of this offline, but the fact that I never got a return call one month prior to this review told me all I needed to know as far as continuing the business relationship. Sawrie Orthodontics of Chattanooga has been diligent every step of the way and showed me what a great orthodontic practice can look like, including more frequent checkups and staff that actually know your name. BDR can be a great option if your teeth and movement are “normal” and you don’t require anything above the minimum level of treatment. If you want TikTok videos, tokens, and aesthetics, then this is your place. For those who are looking for a more in depth experience where half the patients aren’t squeezed next to you, you might want to look elsewhere.

We understand how important continuity of care is, and our team members have built strong, long-term relationships with our patients. We want to take a moment to clarify that we do not have a revolving door of staff.

Fantastic experience: I had a pleasant experience at Dr. Ruth's. I called for a free consultation on Monday, and I was seen the very next day. The office is so bright and cheerful as is the staff. Once examined by Dr. Ruth, she assured me that my concerns about my teeth shifting were unwarranted, and that gave me great relief. If you've been worrying about increased spacing between your teeth, go see Dr. Ruth. She will be able to address your concerns one way or the other in a very short period of time. And it will be time well spent.

Fantastic experience: Since I began going to the dentist as a little girl, my mother has been trying to get me braces and unfortunately never could find the help she needed. As an adult being weary of that struggle, I approached my first appointment with much skepticism believing I would not be able to afford treatment. However, with the outstanding help from April Harris, I am now on my way to getting the smile I’ve always dreamed of having! April went to the moon and back to help me and I will forever be grateful of her due diligence! The vibes of the office are amazing and the entire staff made you feel at home, and truly heard. I definitely look forward to a beautiful journey with Braces by Dr Ruth!

She explained every step of the process in detail and made sure I was comfortable and informed about the treatment process. Her precision and dedication to achieving the perfect smile are truly commendable. A special shoutout to April, who was there to assist and support me during my visit. She is incredibly friendly, professional, and made the appointment a pleasant experience. Her attention to detail and care made a significant difference in my overall experience. The entire team at Braces by Dr. Ruth is fantastic, and their commitment to their patients is evident in everything they do.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more thankful for this place! From the moment I spoke to the lady on the phone I knew I was right at home. I came for my consultation and April was beyond amazing by giving me a tour and explaining everything and introducing me to every single staff member! Dr Ruth herself was very kind and informative and helped put on my braces today. I got to pick my colored bands and was explained my treatment plan. I am so excited to continue care under Dr. Ruth Orthodontics! I couldn't recommend this place enough having already been through braces elsewhere; this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: This place was like a breath of fresh air. I took my daughter in for a consultation and the staff was so warm and friendly and really seemed to love what they do. My daughter said that she really liked this office because of all of the colors and that the seats were comfortable. I really love that they had so many things geared towards children of all ages to make them feel comfortable and heard.

Fantastic experience: From the moment we walked in, the office space at Braces by Dr. Ruth exuded a welcoming and professional atmosphere. Everything was immaculately clean and beautifully designed. But what really made our experience stand out was the exceptional staff. Everyone we interacted with was upbeat, knowledgeable, and clearly respected our time. The check-in process was simple and efficient.What impressed me most was how they made my daughter feel comfortable. Dr. Ruth herself was lovely, taking the time to genuinely get to know my daughter on a personal level. It was clear that she sincerely cared about providing the best possible care. Overall, I couldn't be happier with our experience at Braces by Dr. Ruth and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking orthodontic treatment
