USMAN ALI, DMD, MPH REVIEWS

My son had 5 teeth pulled and Dr. Ali and his team did an amazing job! He was super scared but the staff relaxed him and explained everything that was going to happen. He woke up in no pain and understood everything that happened to him and he’s still not scared to go to the dentist.

Thank you Dr ALli for being awesome and patient with my son. The staff is very helpful and friendly. So if you have a child’s with special needs this is the best place to take them here. I’m so glad my dr referral me to this place. The front desk lady was so friendly(forgot to ask her name) she alway greeted me with smile not all receptionist does that.

I love how they treat patients, their attention, coordination, and flexibility for both patients and doctors.

MICHAEL CRITES, DDS REVIEWS

I had a wonderful experience at Akron Smiles! From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel comfortable. The office is clean, organized, and they truly care about their patients. A special shout-out to Jessy at the front desk. She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the check-in process smooth and stress-free. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service really stood out and set the tone for a great visit. The dental team was knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend Akron Smiles to anyone looking for quality dental care and a friendly atmosphere.

We love this place! The staff is friendly and very attentive to the children/ parents and the dental hygienist is AMAZING! He is so kind,gentle and soft spoke. Also makes sure tonthank you for bring your child in. Mine is cavity free and will continue to be! Keep up the good work Akron Smiles.

I have been bringing my daughter here since she was two. The staff has always been kind to us. She has aged out of the office and had her very last visit this week.

RAJESH VIJ, DDS REVIEWS

Absolutely excellent experiences while both of my kids. Very knowledgeable, they keep you completely updated during procedures/surgeries and during treatments. Very fast at getting pricing so you can decide what you want to proceed with. My kids love going here no childhood dentist teams. Highly recommend Dentistry 4 Kids.

Absolutely amazing staff and Doctor. I liked how they explained what they were doing for example this is a tooth towel and I am going to dry off your tooth. My daughter was very relaxed as they removed her tooth. Great job and highly recommend this practice.

The workers and the doctor were great with my son who has sensory issues. I have never seen him so calm in a doctor office setting! Thank you for making his experience great.
