In 1991 Dr. Rikli and and his family moved from his
established practice in Ord, Nebraska. Although the Rikli's are still Big Red
fans, Colorado is now considered home.
Dr. Rikli bought a small dental practice
in Colorado Springs. After a few years of hard work, the practice was ready to
expand. Dr. Rikli and his staff moved locations to their current office and Dr.
Rikli welcomed Dr. Tafolla to the practice. Dr. Rikli had the opportunity to design
the new office, this allowed him to set it up in such a way that would allow for growth
and new technologies.
The staff is very fun, kind, and
knowledgeable. A majority of our staff has been together for over 9 years. In
this time our practice has grown, with this growth we have increased the number of
employees. With each additional person we can offer you better service.
