Dr. Rarick is very good with the kids, staff, and if anything , is guilty of over-explaining things, which is a good thing! I like that. I think they could use another orthodontist in this practice to move things along quicker so the kids don't have to have the braces on their teeth so long. They space the visits 5-6 weeks apart. It has been my experience with both my eldest daughter and myself that the visits could be spaced 3 1/2 - 4 weeks apart. That said, the staff and the practice, in general, are very efficient, friendly and accommodating. The office people are all business but never rude.
