I can’t say enough about Dr Akin and his staff. Experience was as wonderful and it could have been (considering I got an implant). :)

I had a very difficult five tooth extraction performed by Dr. Akin. He and his staff were consummate professionals. Following the procedure Dr. Akin called personally to check on my recovery. It is the little things that separate his practice from others in the region. Follow up appointments have been easy to set and very time efficient. And Erin was great in contacting my insurance company to make sure they held up their obligations. Overall a fantastic dental experience. I would recommend Dr Akin and his staff to anyone considering a procedure.

When it comes to dental work, I am the biggest chicken on the face of the earth!!! However, Dr. Akin and his staff addressed all my concerns and made me feel so comfortable and confident. My implant surgery was so much better than I expected and I am extremely glad that I had this done. I would definitely recommend Dr. Akin to everyone!!
