Fantastic experience: I called to see about availability of appointments and Yami was so nice and helpful. As soon as I can coordinated my schedule I will definitely be in. Refreshing to have people actually answering the phone that are nice and helpful..

Fantastic experience: Dr Akel fixed my broken tooth in one day. Super clean office. Amazing friendly staff, professional. Smart front office employees, warm and friendly environment. I particularly thought the girl with the blonde hair was the best ever.

Negative experience: Lack of professionalism when it comes to communicated delays and wait times. Waited for 30 minutes with zero assistance. Practice manager is rude as well stating “this is how dental offices work”.

Akel Dental

We are a very busy office, helping all our patients and serving the entire community. Minimal wait times can occur. Now your specific story doesn't seem to add up. Please stop being a bad actor and disengage from our company.

Fantastic experience: We love eveyone. Even our haters and fake bad reviewers. Bless eveyone. No haters allowed.

brendan waas Published on Google

Negative experience: Rude dentist and felt pressured to do review. Was told to scan QR code and to give review but dentist was standing over shoulder. Will not return. Highly recommend looking elsewhere (Editing to respond to Akel dental) If you felt that way your dentist wouldn’t have stood over shoulder saying to put 5 stars and to leave a good one. Fishing for reviews is gross and shows you can’t provide good service without pressuring people into reviews

Akel Dental

We strongly disagree with your characterization of our office and staff. Our team treats every patient with respect and professionalism, and we never pressure anyone to leave a review. Reviews are completely voluntary. We take pride in the quality of our care and our reputation.

Akel Dental

All your information is false. Stop harassing our office. You keep posting this same thing over and over, you keep updating the same message every week. Please find something else to do and leave us alone.

Elizabeth Pleyer Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The office runs very efficiently. The staff is very courteous and Dr. Akel is very professional and does good work. I highly recommend this dental office!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this dentist for 10 years. Always a good experience! They are an hour from my home and I continue to make the drive

Darlene Hall Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Just got back from my cleaning and exam, completely painless, Luis the hygienist is so gentle, and thorough. Dr Akel very nice as well, I highly recommend this dental office. Been going for a few years now. Again can’t say enough about the office, Girls in front were awesome as well. Book your appointment, you won’t be disappointed.

Dianne Munsch Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr.Akel is a wonderful Dentist, was there this morning with an issue with an extraction that from a place where they did extractions, there was a piece of tooth lodged in my gum, he removed a piece of tooth lodged in my gum. The whole office is great. Dianne Gedon.

Ericka Romero Published on Google

Negative experience: I had a very disappointing experience at this dental office during my son’s appointment. Our scheduled appointment time was 2:00 PM, and by 3:20 PM we still had not been seen. Throughout that entire time, I received no updates or explanations about the delay. What made the situation worse was the lack of professionalism at the front desk. Instead of communicating with waiting patients, the staff appeared more focused on discussing their Friday night plans. As a parent, my time and my child’s care should be treated with respect. After waiting over an hour with no communication, I ultimately decided to leave. I do not feel this office values patient time or provides the level of professionalism expected in a healthcare setting.

Akel Dental

As we reviewed our records, we did not find any instances of walkouts during the week for any 2:00 PM appointments. We always strive to treat every member with exceptional care and ensure clear communication throughout each visit.

At this time, we believe there may be some confusion regarding our office, and it is possible that you may be reaching out to a different location. However, we would be more than happy to look further into your concerns.

If you have any additional details or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We value your feedback and are committed to providing the best possible experience.

Sincerely,

Akel Dental

Alyssa Higgins Published on Google

Negative experience: My husband and I have been seeing Dr Akel for 2 years now and are switching dentists. I have been there for 4 cleanings, my initial cleaning was very thorough, however my last two cleanings lasted 20 minutes from me walking in the door to leaving. The cleaning was not thorough at all and I have not seen Dr Akel the last 3 cleanings I had. My husband only went to Dr Akel once and said he was never going back. He is arrogant and stated my husband needed a root canal. My husband recently went to another dentist and they were able to do just a filling on the tooth, not a root canal, and saved us thousands of dollars. Dr Akel also filled a cavity my first visit seeing them and he slipped and drilled a hole into my tongue that was very painful and took a while to heal. When I called the office to tell them I am switching dentists, they did not ask why and were VERY rude when I asked them to send my records to my new dentist. I would choose another dentist than Dr Akel.

Kathy Scalisce Published on Google

Fantastic experience: This was my first time visiting this office for cleaning and tooth extraction which turned into me having to have a bridge due to the severity. I have to say that this office staff has been nothing but wonderful as I experienced pain and discomfort through the process which was typical of the process. The staff is very caring and I would recommend this dental office to anyone in need of dental work. I will continue to use their service.

Vivian Rivera Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff and clean office. Always get appointment reminders. Dentist is wonderful. Has done some crowns and I have had no issues. Highly recommend.

Jessica Soto Published on Google

Negative experience: You don’t get to go back with your child, don’t have any idea what their doing until it’s done, rough with the flossing until I checked them on it and gave me attitude when I did. My son needed fill ins so I hesitantly approved and signed for it and when my son came out he looked distraught… he told me that he had no idea what was going on, and that a bunch of people came in the room, stuck a needle in his gums and started drilling… left him feeling helpless cause they didn’t tell him ANYTHING THAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO HIM! didn’t prepare him for it, nothing! You wouldn’t do that to an adult, why would you do that to a child? I don’t know how you would feel as a parent but that hurt me like hell and that is why parents should be with their children in situations like that. The front desk assistant handed me a referral and I asked what is this and she said it’s a referral for your daughter.. I had to ask twice for what, cause no one explained anything to me about why it was needed. It’s for tooth A… I said ok.. sooo… then I just said forget it.. it was that moment I knew I was done forever with these people. No kind of customer service skills, family values or support , nothing. I walked out cause I felt my blood boiling. Save yourself the trouble or don’t.. this was my experience and it sucked.

Rachael Maggio Published on Google

Negative experience: Beware of their double dipping, trying to do unneeded work and lying! This was my son’s dentist for years until ai brought him in when he fell and broke one of his front teeth in half. I took him in and not only did he need one crown but he needed 3, one was for cosmetic purposes they said. My out of pocket after insurance would be $1200. Called the insurance company and they said his crowns are covered at 100%. Called the office and asked them to do a pre-authorization, received a call back the dentist is no longer doing crowns on minors. Went to Keystone Excellence where they already knew his crowns were covered at 100% and he only needed 1 crown! Akel Dental called me this morning to schedule his 3 crowns that they supposedly no longer do for minors.

Akel Dental

This information is incorrect and misleading. Please call the office to resolved this issue.

Cathy Mirras Published on Google

Negative experience: I would not recommend this office at all. We had to wait in the waiting room like 30 minutes. My husband went back to office to have his teeth cleaned. They took exams. His told them that all he wanted was what the insurance covered. They kept telling him he needed this and that. We have been here 1 and half hours and his teeth are still not done. 3 other people that came in after us have been seen and gone. So very disappointed

Akel Dental

We are very busy office, helping all the patients in town. We provide the best dental care out there. You are NOT our patient. Please go away and refrain from acting in this manner. Thank you

Judith Comerford Published on Google

Negative experience: Took my son back for X-rays and they told me to wait sat and sat asked what was going on. I was told that they were cleaning my son’s teeth. I never gave permission for them to do that. Would not let me be with my son in the room. Then had the nerve to come out he has 3 teeth that need to be filled not going over anything with me. Not showing me his X-rays at all. My son has disability with severe anxiety and to sit there and not even let me be with my kid. Did not tell them to clean my son’s teeth. Lied to saying they would come get me after his X-rays. BEWARE DONT TAKE YOUR KID THERE PLEASE. I let me insurance know about all of it as well. Maybe next get a attorney

Fantastic experience: I have been to so many dentist’s since moving to Florida and FINALLY found Akel! This office has the nicest employees. You get taken in on time. Dr Akel is such a nice person.

Fantastic experience: I would have never thought in a million years that I would enjoy going to the dentist. Dr. Akel is gentle, his staff is great, and they make me feel so comfortable while I am there. So nice to go there. Update. Years later, still getting great service from a gentle, kind staff. I refer everyone I can to Dr Akel.

Akel Dental

Thank you Frank!

Helen Russ Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My visit for cleaning and X-rays went so well. Years ago, I had issues, No more because of Dr. Akel and his staff.

Rosamond Fairweather Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Akel has been my dentist for quite a while. I'm on a budget so I've had to get a few teeth out here and there on my way to ultimately get dentures. I have a lot of anxiety problems and numbing can be an issue for me, but he has always been patient and calm which makes me feel so much more comfortable. I cannot recommend Dr. Akel enough. The office is always clean and the staff is always super nice to me every time I come in for an appointment. I look forward to using this dentist for all of my dental needs for years to come!

dean Messina Published on Google

Negative experience: STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRACTICE! IF YOU MISS AN APPOINTMENT FOR ANY REASON THEY WILL CHARGE YOU $500. I HAD A 2:00 FIRST TIME APPOINTMENT AND GOT THERE AT 1:45. AT 2:15 I ASKED WHEN I WOULD BE SEEN AND WAS TOLD AN ADDITIONAL 30-45 MINUTES. SORRY BUT MY TIME IS AS VALUABLE AS THE DOCTOR'S AND I DON'T GET TO CHARGE FOR MY WASTED TIME. I LEFT AND FOUND ANOTHER DENTIST. JUST READ OTHER PEOPLES REVIEWS AND THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. EVEN THEIR RESPONSES TO REVIEWS ARE RUDE AND INSULTING. SO GLAD I LEFT BEFORE THEY GOT A CHANCE TO LOOK IN MY MOUTH!

Ernie Englehart Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I switched to Akel Dental because I have Medicare insurance now, and I would have to pay if I continued with my old dentist. The service at Akel was extraordinary. They took all the images, cleaned and polished, fixed a chipped tooth, and fixed a cavity, all at the same visit and lightning fast!

James Mclain Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I went in with a broken tooth with the root exposed and Dr. Amir quickly and painlessly, took care of the problem with expeadancy and professionalism and sent me quickly on my way. Doctor Amir Akel My Dentist In the dentist's chair, where fears reside, Dr. Amir Akel, compassion as his guide. With empathy vast, a soothing hand, Pain's specter expelled, a gentle touch. Effortlessly he worked, a master's hand, Extracting roots that plagued the land. No reminder remained of the tooth's distress, His skill, a balm, pain's gentle egress. In the clinic's hum, a healing spell, Dr. Amir Akel, where worries quell. A dental maestro, with precision keen, He made the procedure seem serene. Roots surrendered beneath his chair, A dance of grace, in the dental lair. Today's hero, a dentist so kind, Dr. Amir Akel, relief designed. By James McLain For more poems, Google poetry James McLain

Piper Loring Published on Google

Negative experience: Didn’t have a great experience here. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful with any questions. The waiting room was nice and clean. I just turned 18 and came here for the first time and had my mother come along with me to help with paperwork. When the hygienist brought me to the back for x-rays and a cleaning, she was very unkind from start to finish. She used the same gloves to text on her phone and clean my teeth, and the tools either need to be replaced or need to be cleaned because there was visible stains. I chipped a filling a month before coming in, and had a cavity to be filled that i was NOT told about. They went to the waiting room where my mom was waiting for me, and told her they were doing a filling, and at this point i still did not have any one tell me this and i could only overhear their conversations. I was already feeling uncomfortable from the previous incidents and the hygienist wasn’t easy when scraping and brushing my teeth and told me all my teeth are going to fall out after she was scraping my gums and said they were bleeding. When they came in and said “open up” i asked what they were doing. They said “your fillings” and i told them no and they said “your mother said you are doing it, so you will” i refused and left, and when i asked my mom if they asked her about doing a filling, she said “no, they TOLD me they were doing it, and said they already asked you”. There was bad communication on their part after knowing and confirming i was 18 and didn’t need my mothers consent, let alone they didn’t ask for either of our’s.

Akel Dental

This story you are telling is very confusing. You are confused young lady.

Kelly G. Published on Google

Negative experience: Worst cleaning, felt super rushed. On top of that very poor hygienist/doctor to patient communication. I wasn’t made aware that I had cavities until I was presented with a $300 bill for fillings by the receptionist.

Holly Kuhns Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Nice clean office and the hygienists were very friendly and knowledgeable. Great staff and never have to wait too long! They were accommodating when I brought my toddler with me as well. Very nice place I will be returning

Jenny Anderson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Great dentistry and great people Dr. Akel saved a tooth I thought was beyond saving and got me in within a week of my first phonecall, offered to complete all dental work he could within the same day. The staff are all very sweet and scheduler has been very accommodating of my weird work hours, all while still getting me in within a week. Definitely recommend!

Pamela Bunyon Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I have had dental issues my whole life & have also had many issues with dentists...I have had a good experience every visit at this office ...the front staff was awesome, the guy doing my x-rays was awesome, the hygienist was very considerate of my very sensitive teeth, Dr. Akel was awesome and I believe(& hope) this is mine & my children's dentistry for years to come

Robina Anstey Published on Google

Fantastic experience: This past week, both myself and my husband have seen Dr. Akel at the Spring Hill location for our dental checkups/ cleaning and fillings. I also had a tooth abscess which first had to be treated with antibiotics, and due to extreme facial swelling I had to wait an extra few days before the tooth could be extracted. Yesterday, the tooth was extracted by Dr. Akel and it went smoother than I could ever imagine. His staff, especially Luis who performed a deep cleaning on my teeth as well as my husband’s was great. He was gentle and very skilled. Dr. Akel’s staff, nurses and front personnel were very friendly and accommodating. I can’t thank them enough for treating us so well. We both highly recommend Dr. Akel & Akel Dental. Robina & Keith Noel, Spring Hill

bad apple Published on Google

Fantastic experience: What can I say about this dentist besides they are very professional and friendly, they helped me when I needed a crown and helped me when it came off since it was a temporary crown. They took very good care of my teeth and now my teeth looks great, they were very gentle with me as I am worried about it hurting, it never hurts when they work on my teeth since they always ask if I am comfortable enough to continue. I would highly recommend them to my family and friends since they have taken care of me when I want to take care of my teeth

Debbie Johnston Published on Google

Negative experience: When in for a sore tooth on the front of my mouth and ended up with them grinding down two of my back teeth. Also they are charging $400 more dollars for putting a gel in my mouth to keep me from bleeding that is not covered by my insurance. Be careful when you're signing any paperwork

Stacey Martin Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Dr. Akel for over 12 years, and I can’t express how much I appreciate him and everyone at the office. They all make my visits enjoyable. Dr. Akel is super informative, extremely knowledgeable, and I’m always impressed with his work. I unfortunately had to have extensive dental work done to my teeth doing crowns and bridges before I turned 21, I’m 31 now, and everything is still beautiful, and everything we continue to do is beautiful. My smile is much brighter thanks to Dr. Akel. I always, always, recommend my friends and family to go to Akel Dental.
