Rhonda has been with Schaack Family Dentistry for a number of years, and has been a dental assistant for 20+ years. Her great smile, positive attitude, and years of experience make her a strong anchor for our team. Rhonda is married to Rob, has two grown sons, and a labradoodle, Jasmine. She is our go-to advisor for what's good to watch on TV and at the movies!
Libby is a graduate from the University of South Dakota School of Dental Hygiene and is a transplant from Kimball, SD. Her hygiene skills speak for themselves, while her genuine smile and positive attitude are priceless assets to the office. Libby is a 'dog mom' to her pup, Hugh.

Amber is a dental assistant that's done it all! She started her assisting career in orthodontics, took a brief break at our front desk, and then landed in the back again---chairside. She is eager to learn, always willing to help, and her smile is contagious! Amber has one son and a very spoiled Frenchie named Gucci.

I've been a patient with Schaak Dental for a few years and the care I've received has been exceptional. I've had nothing but positive experiences. The dental work they've done for me is second to none and everyone is warm and welcoming.

I've been going to this dentistry for years and their name says it all. When I'm there, it feels very much like I'm family. Even more important is their attention to detail. They are meticulous in everything they do from the cleanliness of the office to the way they clean my teeth. I don't see myself ever going anywhere else!!

Every single person at Schaack Family Dentistry greets you warmly and knows you by name - from Bill in the front to each of the awesome Dental Hygienists - and then the most wonderful Dentists in Rapid - Drs. Tara and Jon Schaack, and Brittni Reichert. They spend quality time with each patient and are oh so gentle with the kids, taking time to explain everything they are doing. Scheduling is a breeze and we just couldn't be happier. Thank you for taking care of my families teeth!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Tara and Jon along with all of the staff. I have had some less than desirable experiences at a few other dentists offices so had some apprehension about going to the dentist. I no longer feel that way and have had such wonderful experiences at Schaack Family Dentistry. I worked with them on my cosmetic dentistry as well and cannot convey how incredible my smile turned out and how feels to truly love my smile. Schaack Family Dentistry is patient, kind, & fabulous!!!!
