Dr. Crystal Rucker is so proud to be a native of Clarksville, TN. Her military family was stationed in the area when she was 4 years old. Growing up in Clarksville helped to cultivate her personal values of love for family, support for your country, and faith in God. This great city also instilled in Dr. Rucker the importance of education. Her journey to becoming a pediatric dentist was inspired by an educational program at Clarksville High School when she was only 15 years old.

Hi, My name is Nikita Patel and I am originally from California ( Go Niners and Warriors :]) . I just moved to Memphis, TN where my fiance is from. I have two sisters, one older and one younger who I am very close to. I went to undergrad at UC Berkeley, completed my DDS at University of the Pacific in San Francisco, CA, and obtained my pediatric dentistry certificate at the University of Michigan. I love to travel, meet new people, and do puzzles. My favorite thing about pediatric dentistry is meeting all the wonderful children and making their dental experience a happy one.
