Dr. Aiken's staff is outstanding from pre-visit instructions, greeting on arrival, to doing the intake process. Very professional! Then you are turned over to a highly trained and experienced nurse/assistant to do X-Rays, go over current meds, and receive info on the upcoming procedure. I was so taken in the outstanding customer service, I never worried about the upcoming procedures, which were an extraction and an I'm plant for a soon to be done crown. Then Dr. Aiken arrived and we are introduced. He is very professional, soft spoken but very confident in what he needed to do in the procedure. He had already had a conversation with my dentist. Within minutes, I'm sedated, and the next thing I know, the procedure #1 is done. That evening about 6:30pm, Dr. Aiken, (not a PA or Nurse) called to check on my overall condition, pain, level, swelling and gave me a personal number to call, for problems or questions. That's what I call outstanding service! Procedure #2 went just as smoothly as the first one. A repeat of visit #1, just a different procedure, All the checkups in between-Ditto. Professional,friendly, reassuring staff and a great Doctor! They even calked my dentist to schedule the appointment for my crown. I could not recommend Dr. Richard Aiken any more highly. You'll be good hands all around, when he is your choice for oral surgery.

Came in with a reference for an emergency surgery for my wisdom teeth and implants. My wisdom tooth is impacting the teeth in my mouth very painfully and I was told that the doctor would be free for surgery within a week bit it will take two months before I can get a consult. I don't believe I should endure this pain for 2 months so I will have no choice but to go somewhere else

I just want to say, that my experience's have been beyond my expectation! Dr. Akin was great and friendly and the staff is pleasant every time I have spoken with them; very positive energy each time I have gone. My dentist had recommended another oral surgeon but I went out on my own and did some research and I do no regret my decision at all. Dr. Akin and staff is 5 star in my book.

I had a great experience with Dr. Akin and his office staff! Very friendly, professional, and welcoming environment. I had 3 wisdom teeth removed along with a cheek repair. My recovery went well and his office continued to follow up with me until I came in for my follow up. Dr. Akin wanted to make sure I was healing properly! I highly recommend.

I couldn't have hoped for a better experience. From the welcoming staff, to the atmosphere, to Dr. Akin himself-- just superb! The process of getting wisdom teeth out is actually simpler than I expected. I honestly thought it would be a bit on the barbaric side, but nope. It was civilized and I was asleep. It's been 2 weeks now and my mouth feels normal again. I was able to eat "real food" after 2 days and that's what's most important to me. Anyway, thanks guys! Y'all are the best!

From the moment I walked in the door I was treated with kindness. Each member of the staff is friendly and attentive. My fears were put to rest by Dr. Akin. He is obviously the top of his field. Although I was extremely apprehensive about having a front tooth removed and replaced, he put me at ease. At no point did I ever experience any pain. No one wants to have oral surgery but if you want the best, I highly recommend Dr. Akin and his team.

Dr.Akins and his staff were absolutely amazing through the whole process and even after! Everyone was very kind, professional, and worked with my busy schedule. The wisdom teeth procedure was seamless and I healed very quickly after it so I could get back to work the next week. If you're needing this procedure done I highly recommend Dr. Akins/staff on quality, professionalism, and kindness!

Dr. Akin and his staff are extremely professional. Also Dr. Akin is a man of his word. When I first went to see him about implants he explained to me what he wanted to do and then followed his explanation with saying that he will back his work. In March of 2021 I went in and had 4 implants installed. During the next couple of weeks I started having problems with 2 of the implants. He decided that we needed to remove them and try again at a later date. This morning 11-5-2021 I went in and had the 2 implants put back in and I have absolutely no problems with them, in fact there is no pain. The most important thing is that he called personally each time to check on me to see how I was doing. I will recommend Dr. Akin to anyone that wants to have this procedure done. Thank you Dr. Akin for all of your help.

Dr. Akin and his team are amazing. They did a lot to make me comfortable before, during, and after surgery. I'm not too sure of the name of the nurse who prepped me before the surgery, but she was AMAZING. She ensured I was relaxed and comfortable. Although I was asleep during the surgery, I assume I was comfortable, because I was given a heated blanket. Dr. Akin also called me to check up and ensure everything was rolling smoothly. Truly the best orthodontist I've come across. They are absolutely amazing and I plan on recommending Dr. Akin and his team to everyone I know who is getting their wisdom teeth removed.

I went in to get one wisdom tooth, 1 molar tooth , and tori on my upper right gum removed all in the same day. All of his staff made me feel so comfortable, so at ease. They treated me as if I was a friend of the family (even though I wasn't) Very very nice professional people. Dr. Akin himself is by far the most professional, nicest oral surgeon I have ever been to. He made me feel so relaxed and calm. He was also very very quick with the procedure, before I knew it, it was all over with, I couldn't believe it!! Also after the surgery I had little to no pain after the numbness wore off. I barely even needed any pain medication and that is rare getting teeth pulled. Dr. Akin YOU DA MAN!!!!

They are incredible! My son had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out with very little pain to no pain afterwards. Dr Akin called us personally that night to check in. Very short recovery. Highly recommend them!

Every person at this office is kind and helpful. After my surgery, dr.akin called me personally to check and make sure everything was going well. When I started to have pain, they came in after hours and checked my sites out! Genuinely kind and caring staff and doctor!

I experienced 5 star service from the minute I walked through the door. Dr. Akin and his entire team treated me with warm smiles and genuine concern for my comfort, during a painful need to have a tooth extracted and implant placed. The team worked efficiently and timely during my appointments in the office. Definitely eased my worries during an uncomfortable time.

9 surgery sites, 3 bones grafts, 3 wisdom teeth removed, 3 implant posts put in, 3 gum grafts, 2 surgeries in total, and 1 amazing oral surgeon. I got through all of this with little to no pain thanks to Dr. Akin! Dr. Akin and his team work wonders and the fear I had before melted away the moment I stepped foot in their office.

Dr. Akin listens to your concerns and takes the time to explain and answer questions. After surgery, called personally to check on me. Sincerely appeared to care about me as his patient. I will highly recommended him if you need to remove your wisdom teeth, he made the whole experience far less scary!
