As a father of four active kids, I know how important it is for parents to find the best healthcare providers for their families, he says. I feel very blessed to have met and treated so may amazing families in our communities. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing a patient smile who was once hesitant to smile because of their teeth.

It is such an honor to work with our patients. We have the best patients and the best staff. It is so exciting to be part of the smile transformation every day.

Like his colleagues, he is Invisalign certified and passionately committed to continuing education on this and other innovative technologies.

I am so excited to be a part ofthe team at Bankhead Orthodontic Specialists. I feel grateful to be an orthodontist where I can interact with wonderful people every day all while creating beautiful smiles.
I was born and raised in a small town in central Kentucky and obtained my undergraduate and dental degree from the University of Kentucky, GO CATS! Almost three years ago I moved to St. Louis to begin my orthodontic training at St. Louis University, and I fell in love with the Midwest. I have truly enjoyed these last few years in St. Louis exploring all of the different offerings the city has. I feel so lucky and proud to call St. Louis my new home. I am a firm believer in treating my patients like family. I truly look forward to meeting you and making your orthodontic experience a success by delivering exceptional patient care all while having fun!
In my free time I love to hike, ski, cook, and spend time with my lovely significant other, Phillip and our dog, George. Together we enjoy being outdoors, traveling and exploring new cities and National Parks, and trying new and delicious foods. While I enjoy watching the Cards and Blues, I am an avid University of Kentucky Basketball fan and Netflix enthusiast.
Dr. Jacob grew up in southern Illinois and afterfinishing his orthodontic residency at Texas A&M College of Dentistry, he is thrilled to be back in the area as a member of the Bankhead Orthodontics team. He loves coming to work every day and has already experienced the rewards of making a difference in patients lives. Dr. Jacob learned the newest advancements in treatment techniques during his residency, including 3D printing, digital scanning and Invisalign.
When not working, I truly enjoy traveling and have been an avid scuba diver for over a decade. As a lifetime St. Louis Cardinals and Blues fan, there are few things better than attending a home or away game or taking in a great concert.

...Overall I have had an acceptable experience with this office. My last visit however not so much. Over time and once my braces were taken off service has declined. The doctors have always been professional. I don't like that you have to pretty much deal with a different tech with each visit. Patient should be given a choice. Also when asked for someone to follow up 3 times on 3 dif occasions it didn't happen. With the last visit I was trying to ask the tech a question and she cut me off several times before I could ask and walked off very dismissively saying she would just go get the doctor. Once the doctor got there I explained what happened and he said "Well what is your question?" My response: Are we going to address how I was treated? "Well I wasn't present." REALLY so does that mean I'm lying it didn't happen... get her over here and let's clear it up then but I did not reply after he said that because I would have automatically been the ABW so I chuckled softly and asked my question but his reaction further dismissed my experience which I did not appreciate. He went on to compliment my shirt and make small talk...which I thought was sweet. He never had an attitude, he kept it professional. THEN on my way out the RUDE tech in question says goodbye and pronounces my name wrong! Was that on purpose! Helpful verbiage: Hey my apologies for your experience certainly not the service we want our clients to have. I will definitely have a conversation with her and coach/address accordingly. What you DONT DO is totally disregard the patient experience which is what happened.

Dr. Rodabough is really nice, easy to talk to, patient and answers to all questions. Megan, the clinical assistant has always been super nice to us. Would also like to thank Molly and Diana too for taking care of us during our recent visit. Leanna, at the front desk is very sweet and accommodative to schedule our appointments. Overall a great place to go to for braces.
