Dentists

Great and friendly staff.., Dr. Rucker is the best

I have been going here my since he opened multiple years ago. Can’t imagine going anywhere else!

Just seemed a little rude

Talk about hitting the dental lottery! I just moved here and was looking for a dentist. I went with the closest one I could find because I didn't know the area and I was in extreme pain from a broken tooth. I've never had good experiences at the dentist because it always felt like they were doing everything to make a buck and not give me all the options. That changed here. I told Dr. Joe (Ornelas) that I had just moved here, was unemployed and had no insurance. He took the time to explain to me the options and costs of each procedure he could do to make my pain go away. Seriously, he explained the benefits and downfalls of each one and allowed me to make up my mind with no pressure or embarrassment or judgment. The tooth was an absolute wreck. Broken and cracked, not an easy fix. I went with extraction and let me tell you this. With the exception of the initial shot of numbing medication I experienced ZERO pain AND he removed the tooth intact no surgery required! Look, we all hate going to the dentist, it's fact. But I will never, EVER, have reservations about going to a dentist again. This dentist is my dentist for as long as I live here.

If you're looking for a Dentist in the LaPorte, IN area, Dr. Valerie R. Martinsen DDS is the place. I just had an old filling repaired and she did a superb job. No pain! My thanks to Dr. Valerie Martinsen and her staff for a friendly well done job. Highly recommended!

I've been a patient for over 10 years. They have outstanding service and very reasonable rates for cleanings/x-rays. The staff is very personable and they are efficient.

So far very happy! I made the decision to switch dentist and haven't even been to my first appointment yet but I can tell you that the receptionist was extremely Pleasant extremely welcoming and extremely thorough in setting up my first appointment I feel really good about this decision simply by the first impression :-)

The visit was very pleasant, the procedure painless, and the doctor professional.
