I just had two teeth extracted by Dr. Akin, and was very pleased with the results. During the initial visit, his demeanor and professionalism immediately put me at ease with his competence, and he answered any questions that I had. He never appeared rushed, and related to me as a person, not as a patient number or faceless medical problem. I had concerns about anesthesia, and he was very receptive in discussing my issues, and in fact used different medications as a result of that discussion that worked out great.

Dr. Akin is amazing! I did a lot of research prior to my first visit and I definitely made the right choice. He did my dental implant and was able to attach the temporary the same day he pulled my tooth! I was so amazed that I never had any pain, discomfort, or problems. And he even personally called to check on me after my surgery. If you research him you will see that he is very knowledgeable and has the experience we all want. Dr. Akin also has a wonderful staff to assist him. I highly recommend him!!!
Poor review is for the uneducated receptionist - I never met with the physician. She took down all my personal information and knew the appt was for a consult following trauma and was needed within a few days to a week. After we discussed insurance and billing she put me on a brief hold then told me “no consult appts are available today”. I asked about an appt the next day or the following Monday, and I was then told no consult appts are available for 3 and a 1/2 weeks. Not believable.
During my fifties, I experienced severe deterioration of my original teeth. Regular dental care was unsuccessful in saving them. Finally, I sought care from a leading local prosthodontist who referred me to Dr. Akin for implants. I ended up with 13 implants and complete upper and lower bridges. After each surgery (and there were quite a few), he called that evening to check on how I was doing. One of the many implants he installed failed and he graciously redid it with no additional fee. Three years later, I've had no proble... read more
I had an implant done and that involved a bone graft procedure. My wife also saw him for chronic oral pain that was totally relieved by extraction procedures. All services are timely and practically pain free. A superior specialist.
I had a palatial Tori for two years I was so worried about having it removed..I went in to have Dr Akin look at it and Advise me as to what he thought I could do.. I liked him from the moment he came into the room...He put me at ease about it.. so I scheduled the surgery... It was a breeze .. it took about half hour to remove it.. I had NO pain, NO Swelling, very lil Bleeding... I was almost in shock he made it so easy and painless..

My son had all four wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Akin and staff were the best! They were very kind and caring. Could not have asked for a better doctor.
Very impressed with the care I received with Dr Akin and his staff. Had a total of 4 teeth extracted and implant post put in at the same time as the extracted under sedation. No pain,during nor after. No necessary to wait 6 months to a year to be fit with a crown or in my case 2 bridges. Very caring doctor and staff. Will return if need more oral surgery.
Dr Akin and staff is the best!!! He did 3 implants last week and they are doing great I would recommend him to all my family and friends
