Dr. Akerman is the sweetest Pediatric Dentist you could find. My daughter LOVES Dr. Akerman and she is quite the dental phobe. She still cries but Dr. Akerman puts her at ease and is so gentle with her. My daughter won't go to anyone else. I recommend Dr. Akerman to anyone who is looking for a great dentist for their child.

Expensive. For both adults and children.

I had to wait more than an hour for my child's first appointment.

For my visit, they gave me an enormous dental estimate that I have never experieced with any other previous dentists (FYI: I 've moved a lot from states to states). Mind you, I go for a regular check up every 6 months.

The nurse told me it would be 30$ for today (x-rays & dental check up are usually free with my insurance?) instead of asking me would you like a cancer screening for 30$? Thinking Miami has a different system, I paid. Upon walking out from their practice, I looked at the statment, I realised they did the screening test but failed to confirm me whether it came out negative or positive.

You have to give 48 hour notice for canceling an appointment or they will fine you $25.

If you have problem with Periodontal, they will send you a specialist more than half an hour drive from their practice. If you decided to choose for yourself locally, they will charge you 25$ for X-rays.

They have notice in front of receptionist's window saying "treat your friends or loved one for tooth whitening -200$ off" I asked her how much it is after the deduction, 450$!.. Isn't that on-going rate anyway?
