"The team at Akkaway has been absolutely wonderful. I expressed to them my daughters anxiety about the dentist. They have been beyond patient explaining everything to her along the way and made her feel so comfortable. The Invisalign treatment has gone smoothly and I can see the results already. The offices are meticulously clean and welcoming. I highly recommend the Orthodontics and Pediatric teams!"
"We are extremely pleased with Akkaway Orthodontics. They are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Dr Akkaway recommended Invisalign for our 12 year old daughter. I was hesitant to believe that Invisalign could work better than braces, however 11 months into her treatment (and are just about finished) and I am so happy we decided to go with Dr Akkaway's recommendation. The treatment is painfree, and FAST! Im absolutely shocked at how quickly the treatment corrected her smile which has significantly boosted her confidence."

"I got my son braces at Akkaway Orthodontics. Every time we have went there Mr. Akkaway and all his assistants were very kind. I had no doubt that this was the right place for my son as he also even tells me that it never hurts him. I am proud to say that this is the right orthodontist as there has never been a problem with my son, so I feel like I should also think that it won’t hurt anyone else either. This orthodontist shall be recommended for so many other kids who need braces."

"FANTASTIC! Great customer service from the front desk to the medical staff. Everyone smiles and seems to be happy, and it all stems from the top. I get the sense that everyone likes working there, which makes a big difference as far as customer service is concerned. The doctor also has great bedside mannerisms and all staff members are easy and pleasant to deal with. They put you at ease and make you feel welcome. I have had three children go through the practice, my youngest son is currently a patient. The doctor and his staff have been extremely helpful to me with all my questions regarding my son's care. Despite having a busy practice, I can always schedule an appt. when convenient for me, and all of my phone questions are answered the same day. I have consulted many doctors in my life, and it is rare that you find one as knowledgeable, accommodating, and concerned as Dr. Akkaway. Dr. Akkaway is hands-down one of the best orthodontists I have seen. His demeanor is calm, positive, thorough, attentive, flexible, and personal. He gives his full attention and is not at all distracted or rushed when visiting his patients, or the parents! I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone to wants true team players!Sheryl and Ryan Mueller"

He will take the time to listen to the concerns you have and to make sure that you understand what needs to be done. I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for an orthodontist."
