Pretty disgusted with these people, I told them when I made the appointment that all I wanted was two broken teeth pulled. I told them we could talk about other stuff after the problems were resolved. They did a cleaning and did X-rays and DID NOT pull the two teeth that are broken at the gumline. I feel like I have been had, these guys are good at upselling and billing but bad at problem resolution. I would consider them to be insurance billing specialists, I wish I could find an honest dentist somewhere. Still have two broken teeth!!

They missed my cavity at 2 visits. Told them it was bothering me. Told them 3rd visit 1.5yrs it was REALLY bothering me. They found nothing on the x-ray. Re-shot the x-ray. A large cavity and the tooth was unsavagable and needed to be pulled . :(

They're like a auto shop that tries to do work that you didn't ask for or approve of ... repeatedly.

I was in search of a new dentist and I moved to Dentistry by Design. Dr. Dalal and Dr. Akeel run a fantastic practice and they were extremely professional, thorough, and gave me routines to focus on to avoid developing cavities. I highly recommend them as they're by far the best dentists I've had. I feel confident that they're impeccable choices to trust in for my dental health.

Was able to get a quick appointment (not so common in these unprecedented times) and was very happy with the care! Dr. Dalal used cutting edge tech to detect problem spots without poking around, and followed up with a great deep clean. I also got some great recommendations for continued care. Highly recommend Dentistry by Design!

My experience at Dentistry by Design was the best I've ever had with any dentist or doctor for that matter. Our family was seen by Dr. Nish who provided the most personable approach to his care. He was extremely thorough, polite, and honest in giving recommendations and medical advice; he even took the time to let me ask questions about my x-ray, something I've always wanted to do but never given the chance. Overall it was a truly enjoyable and informative experience as I feel like Dr. Nish worked with me to develop a plan of care catering to my specific needs and situation. I would very much recommend this practice to any family member or close friend!

I'm one of those people that used to fear the dentist. Dr. Akeel and his team have completely turned that around. The staff is kind, efficient, professional and especially caring. Every visit makes me feel like I am in the best hands receiving care from experts. I am very appreciative of Dr. Akeel and would highly recommend Dentistry by Design.

I've been going to Dr. Akeel for many years. I'm not a fan of dentists in general due to a bad experience when I wad a child, but Dr. Akeel is very gentle and patient with me, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had a cavity that was filled today and couldn't be any happier. It was quick, painless and relatively cheap. I would highly recommend Dr. Akeel.
