"I would 100% recommend Thrive Orthodontics to anyone! I brought my son here to get Invisalign after getting hit in his mouth at basketball. The doctors & staff are extremely knowledgeable and explained the whole process thoroughly. From start to finish, they have always been patient, kind and ready to help in anyway possible. My son was thrilled that they sent him home with a teeth whitening kit to make his smile that much better. We couldn’t be happier! Now it’s my turn to go. Thank you!!UPDATE: About 10 years ago, when my oldest son got braces, I asked his orthodontist to take a look at my teeth. He told me my mouth was too small and that I’d need to have teeth pulled before getting braces—otherwise, they’d just shift back over time. As I got older, my teeth continued to shift, so when my youngest son was finishing up his Invisalign treatment, I decided to get a consultation at Thrive Orthodontics.To my surprise, they told me I wouldn’t need any teeth pulled. The worst-case scenario, they said, might be shaving a little enamel—but even that wasn’t necessary. I’m so happy I went with Thrive. My teeth came out perfect!"

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.

"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."
"Love everyone in this office. They are always so pleasant & easy to work with. My kids don't mind going to their appointment because Dr. Akkaway and the girls who work for him are gentle, patient, and kind! The best"
"Can't wait to see it after the new renovation!!"
"Great office, staff and dr! Would highly recommend."
"Everyone is so attentive and professional.. excellent results!!"
"The staff is always friendly from the moment you step inside their doors to the moment you leave. Always willing to answer questions. Office is always on time with limited wait times.The length of treatment was spot on from the start. I would recommend Dr. Akkaway to anyone looking to better your smile!"

"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! :)"

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."
"Awesome! Office is very friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Doctor is fantastic with kids (who make up most of office). I definitely will send my friends and family! My sons teeth are looking great!"
"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"
"When I was looking for an orthodontist for my oldest child, I really took the time to do research. I found that Dr. Akkaway had the best credentials and was close to where we live. In fact, his education and experience profile would have motivated me to drive a distance had he not been close by! Anyhow, we are now toward the end of treatment and we could not be any happier. Dr. Akkaway and his staff are always true professionals. This is a very well run office. The work that Dr. Akkaway does is always exceptional. Highly recommend!"
"It is a quick and easy experience. The Staff are comfortable to be around and make my experience if anything something to look forward to."
