"Very efficient office and Dr. Akkaway was very kind and professional. I had invisilign treatment. I would recommend Thrive Orthodontics!"
"I couldn’t be happier right now!!! After being told that my son and I couldn’t have Invisalign, but could only get braces, Dr. Akkaway said we could!!! What a wonderful feeling after so many years of feeling self conscious about my smile, now I can’t stop smiling!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 😃"
"Had an amazing experience with my invisalign with Dr. Akkaway and his staff. Highly recommend!"
"Our experience with Akkaway Orthodontics was far superior than expected. Dr Akkaway was the only dental professional who noticed her lip tie which was contributing to her orthodontic issues. He was very patient, knowledgeable and conservative in his approach. This type of patient care is hard to find these days! Thank you"
"Thrive orthodontics with Dr. Akkaway and staff are very patient and friendly. They take their time to explain all steps and reasons why they do what they do. Very highly recommend this practice."
"As my son is finishing up with his Invisalign, we are all so pleased with the results that we just signed up our daughter.. The team at Kinnelon Akkaway is very professional and courteous. We highly recommend them!"
"Each time I go to Akkaway Orthodontics, I leave impressed with the overall quality, from the clean and welcoming office, to the friendly staff and workers. They walk you through everything you need to know regarding your teeth and how to fix any problems, which I highly appreciate! Their work ethic is incredibly efficient and always tend to their clients needs. Definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone who needs a trustworthy establishment to take their business to!"
"I personally have had a great experience while at Akkaway Orthodontics. I highly recommend going here since now my teeth have made a huge progress and has continued to progress since my very first appointment! Love going here!!"
"My 9 year old granddaughter was examined by Dr. Akkaway for possibly needing braces. I highly recommend this office. The first visit six months ago found this doctor and staff to be totally professional and caring and made Kathleen at ease and comfortable. Also, the office space is obviously following covid protocol 100%. We had a follow-up visit recently to reassess Kathleen's development. Braces will be applied in the next couple of months without any extractions being required. Kathleen is still extremely secure with this staff and is looking forward to treatment here. There is no doubt about the care and expertise in this office."
"My son has been a patient for about 1 1/2 years. Everything from the 1st visit to getting his braces removed was fantastic. The office staff are wonderful and walk you through every step.Dr. Akkaway is excellent with kids, very patient and kind. My son likes to ask a lot of questions and they always took the time to answer them too! The office has state of the art equipment and capability to do everything needed efficiently and effectively. We are very happy with our experience at this office. We highly recommend them. They also have a new pediatric dentist that recently joined the team."
"Dr. Akkaway and his team are great!! i’m so thankful that i got my treatment done with them! i just got my braces off and i couldn’t be happier with how they turned out!"
"My son just completed his time in braces. The staff and Dr. Akkaway have been very professional and knowledgeable. I have another child currently in treatment here and I am glad she is also in good hands!"
"We have been part of Dr. Akkaway’s Orthodontic Family for a very (very) long time... My son’s started treatments with him very early and as we wrap up a long standing 7!! Year relationship today, I’d be remiss if I didn’t share how awesome my experiences with this office have been:The entire staff has always been so patient, kind, and efficient. From last minute appointments for broken brackets (I swear my older son ate rocks in middle school), to last minute cancellations for things that were out of our control- they have always been as accommodating as possible.Dr. Akkaway is warm, welcoming and “cool” (description from my middle schooler). He’s relatable to my kids, makes them feel at ease and provided thorough treatment plans that were affordable & met the individual needs of both my boys.We leave here today with bright shiny smiles, and so so much gratitude. Thank you, Akkaway Orthodontics, for partnering with our family for so many years... and making an uncomfortable part of development feel so natural. ❤️"
"Dr Akkaway has been amazing! My son was in his care for 2 years, his braces just came off today. His teeth look straight and great. We plan on using Akkaway orthodontics again in the next year for my daughter."
"This is the best doctor and office we've ever been to. The staff are always so plesant and easy to talk to. Dr. Akkaway is so nice and comforting. The progress my daughter has made with her invisalign is wonderful. Highly recommend all around."
"As an adult the thought of an orthodontist is not something you look forward to however Dr. Akkaway and staff made my invisalign treatment amazing. First off, the remodeled Kinnelon office is by far the best doctors office I've ever stepped foot into - from the waiting area with tablet stations to the TV's mounted on the ceiling (yes I said ceiling) above the chairs, the tech and appearance of this office is eye candy for anyone, let alone a techie like myself. I appreciate when a doctor has the latest tech, nothing turns me off more than a dentist who still has their original chairs from the 90's. I could go on for days about the office but don't let that take away from the staff and Dr. Akkaway - unbelievably organized, pleasant and willing to answer and assist with all questions. I'd recommend Dr. Akkaway over and over again and based on other reviews I'm not alone. I'll definitely be bringing my kids when the day comes."
"Had 4 kids go to Akkaway for braces - couldnt be happier with results, the staff and of course the wonderful Dr Akkaway himself!"
"There's great service all the time! From the receptionist to the assistants to Dr Akkaway! Everyone is always so friendly and willing to help. I make one phone call for the slightest thing and they get my son in ASAP! They are the best!!! Once my son is done with his braces, I'm next! Thanks everyone in that office for such exceptional care!!!"
"I truly trust and enjoy Dr.Akkaway and his staff so much, that I drive 1.5 hours routinely for my appointments. I live out of state and still have kept him as my ortho because the experience has been so positive. Not only is the staff friendly but they are all knowledgeable. The office is clean and up to date with technology too, which is a huge plus! Previously, I had the worst experience with my orthodontist providing me a fake version of Invisalign. I decided to take a chance on a new doctor and I am thrilled with the results of my Invisalign treatment so far. Again, I 100 percent recommend Dr.Akkaway to anyone! :)"
"Dr. Akkaway and staff provide an extremely professional and welcoming environment for all ages. It is a pleasant experience working with all - including the office staff, the orthodontic assistants, and Dr. Akkaway! The office is very clean and utilizes the latest technology. The visits are timely and individualized attention is given to each patient.Dr. Akkaway is responsive to the patient’s needs. He is highly skilled and offers the best orthodontic techniques and treatment to achieve optimal results. Akkaway Orthodontics is highly recommended and we are very fortunate for the exceptional service we have received!"
"Very very pleased with the results of my braces. Although I had braces as a child, over the next 3 decades my teeth did shift a bit so I decided to get braces again as an adult and I'm so happy I went with Dr.Akkaway. Both him and all the girls in the practice were absolutey fantastic and I would recommend them for sure and I plan to be bringing my own children to him in a few years. Thank for an amazing result, I couldn't happier !Cynthia"
"Did Invisalign with Dr. Akkaway; absolutely great experience. Everyone at the office is super nice and professional. Got great results. Couldn’t be happier! I recommend Dr. Akkaway to any and all!!!"
"So happy we chose Dr. Akkaway for our daughter's braces. Her teeth are beautiful. Thank you Dr. Akkaway!!!"
"From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you know you are in good hands at Akkaway orthodontics. The front office staff is extremely friendly and accommodating to your scheduling needs.The support staff was very through and clearly explained everything to my daughter and reassured her anxious nerves.Dr. Akkaway is extremely knowledgeable and his office is equipped with the latest technology. So happy to be a patient here. 😊"
"Dr. Akkaway and his AMAZING staff are (by far) the BEST in providing orthodontic care! The practice is as fun as it is friendly; and Dr. Akkaway couldn't be more accommodating or patient.I appreciate the up to date technology he uses to check in, with scheduling, and clinically. Most importantly... The front desk staff always make us feel welcomed (even if we show up a few minutes late once in a while)! 😉👍🏼"
"Akkaway Orthodontics is amazing!! The staff is kind, friendly and helpful! The office is new, modern and updated! Dr. Akkaway and his staff are trustworthy and professional!We had a consultation with another orthodontic office that was going to put us through lengthy, unnecessary and expensive treatment. Dr. Akkaway on the other hand has always been fair and honest and he provides amazing results!!We now have two children out of braces and we couldn't be happier with the service we received. Our third child is starting treatment wth Dr. Akkaway now and we have no doubt that we will receive the same incredible service and results!"
"Had a great experience at Akkaway Orthodontics. The staff was so nice and I love my teeth!!"
"Everyone was very nice and patient with explaining everything to me. I enjoyed coming to Dr. Akkaway Orthodontics."
"I can not say enough about Dr Akkaway and his staff. My daughter just got her braces off and I could not be more pleased. It has been an "uneventful" process, everything went well, and as expected. Everyone there is kind, listens to you if you have a concern or question, and makes children feel very at ease. I highly recommend Dr Akkaway for your orthodontic needs."
"I've been an Invisalign patient at Akkaway Orthodontics for about two years. I have nothing but positive things to say. The staff are always so friendly and knowledgeable. I've always had complete confidence in the Invisalign process and in the staff's expertise. As an adult, who was a bit skeptical to go through a 'teeth straightening program', I certainly recommend them. I drive an hour from Connecticut just to go to my appointments, which I believe speaks volumes for how I feel about this office."
"I have been a patient of Dr.Akkaways for a year now! Whoo Hoo! The reason we chose Dr. Akkaway for my orthodontist is because both Dr. Akkaway and his staff made us feel right at home immediately. It is like buying a pair of shoes" Your not going to buy them if they don't fit right!" At first, I had gone for a consultation at another orthodontist, but my mother said we were going for a second opinion. Which is how I wound up at Dr. Akkaway's! I'm so happy we did because I couldn't imagine getting the experience I have received with Dr. Akkaway and his extremely friendly staff anywhere else. They are the perfect fit for me! As his patient he has an awesome waiting area with a flat screen T.V., video games, and more! Honestly though, we never had to wait so if I wanted to use any of these items I would go in the waiting area after my appointment. While you wait in the chair to have your braces tightened, repairs, etc... there is another flat screen T.V. with movies playing! But again I've really never had to wait Dr. Akkaway's offices are always busy with patients but there is never a wait you are taken in immediately. His staff are wonderful! They are so friendly and nurturing. Some people say having braces isn't fun but I have had such a great experience! Dr. Akkaway and his staff are making it not only easy but fun to get the perfect smile. I'm happy my braces are coming off soon so that I will be able to eat caramel again! But luckily this will not be the end for us because my brother's next!!! Thank you Dr. Akkaway & Staff for being the BEST!!!Sincerely,Kelsey & Kathy Zingone"
