Dr. Deborah Ruprecht and the entire Life Oral Health team are absolutely wonderful! From the moment you walk through the door, you immediately feel the warmth, kindness, and genuine family atmosphere. As a pastor myself, what stood out to me most was seeing how boldly and authentically the entire team lives out their Christian faith. It was refreshing and encouraging to see their faith so naturally woven into the way they serve and care for people. May God continue to bless, increase, and use Dr. Deborah and the entire Life Oral Health team for His glory!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Chrispens and now Dr. Ruprecht for years. Lately I’ve had extensive work done by Dr. Ruprecht. I’ve had an excellent experience with Dr. Ruprecht and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a periodontist. I give her a 10 out of 10!

Thank you Dr. Evans for restoring many areas of age-related dental fault lines. This last visit was just as fun the previous ones. Seriously. You have a great chairside manner and you mean business when it comes to dental repair. Thanks again for a pain free experience.

I came to Dr. Evans after suffering from a bad bite. My dentist put in two crowns without fitting them properly. Braces would not fully fix the bite and my dentist had no other solution. Dr. Evans was recommended by a friend who said he fixed her incorrect bite. He was able to create and implement a plan that fixed my bite permanently. I no longer lisp or constantly bite my cheek. Dr. Evans is brilliant, precise and competent. I highly recommend him.

There aren’t many doctors like her. She spent three hours with me, explaining everything that we’re going to do, praying with me, and addressing my anxiety around the treatment. Her bedside manner is top-notch, and she truly cares about her patients. If I could, I would give her six stars!
