Dr. Achikeh and his entire staff are amazing! I can see why this business has such positive ratings. They really go above and beyond for their patients. And let's be honest, who loves to go to the dentist? But rest assured these people know what they are doing and are kind and courteous. I am moving towards Wheaton and best believe I will drive to see Dr Achileh!

If I could I would give them -0. I went there to get an implant and end up losing my two perfectly working tooth. There were No consultations about the procedure and the problem it will cost you in the future. They just said do the bridge without taling you that you will lose your two healthy tooth. I am going to sue the place anyways

Very nice dental clinic. Dr Achike is great, very pleasant and personable. Always listen and answer your questions to your satisfaction. The hygienists are very pleasant and gentle. I love that place. I drive almost an hour to get to that place and I don't mind it.

Staff was friendly and compassionate. It's been years since my last visit to the dentist and I had a lot of fear about the state of my teeth and about being judged by the medical staff but everyone was kind and nonjudgmental. One of the best interactions I've ever had with medical professionals.

I have lost all fillings and all their interventions have got me into complications later in less than 3 years after they performed them. Unfortunately, I now live overseas otherwise I would pay them a visit again. AS PER THEIR REPLY: I have NEVER needed or asked for any orthodontic (braces) eligibility. I have been performed the same filling twice, since first wasn't even properly finished in the first session. I was assisted by Dr. Achikeh. So please, double check your records!

Dr. A and his clinical staff were very professional, attentive, and comforting. They explained the procedure and follow-up care in very clear details. Dr. A was very friendly, and gentle. I had 3 extractions, and he had completed the procedure while I was still waiting for him to finish. I have had similar procedures by other dentists previously, none were this gentle. The receptionist and billing/scheduling staff were equally courteous, friendly, and professional. i hjighly recommend Dr. A and City Place Dental.
