I love spending time with my beautiful wife, Laura, and two children, Laney and Dylan. When I'moff work I love hunting, fishing, Alabama football, andfamily!
Born and raised in Columbia, AL, I graduated from Houston County High School and began my career in the medical field in 1989.

The whole team were very professional and extremely nice. Especially since I've never been to the dentist and have had spouts of depression throughout life. They didn't judge me and even sympathized my situation.

If I could give more stars I would . From the moment I walked in to the moment I left I was treated with the utmost respect and care. I have always been nervous about going to the dentist but the care they showed with the x-rays to Dr Rice exam to the cleaning was so professional.. Sorry I don't remember the woman's name that did my cleaning I wish I did...she was the BEST EVER .... Also the ladies at the desk were professional and treated me with respect... Dr Rice has done a perfect job with his staff... Anyone would be grateful after visiting Dr Rice and his staff...

Everyone at Ozark family dental was friendly and professional. I am not a big fan of water boarding but I guess that is today's method of cleaning. 4 1/2stars!

I woke with a mild toothache which turned into the worst pain in my mouth I've ever experienced. I called Dr. Rice's office hoping they could squeeze me in because at this point snatching that tooth out with a pair of pliers was my next option..haha. But they got me in early that afternoon and confirmed it was in bad shape and snatched it out. Now I will see about an implant which they gave me a referral. Thank you to everyone one there because I had zero problems whatsoever and it was dealt with that same day.
