They dropped a tooth down my daughter's throat, didnt explain anything to her, and their Bedside manner is non existant. I usually don't give reviews. I felt like today it was necessary though. My daughter gets anxious getting her teeth removed. She went in today to have 3 teeth removed. Seeing as she is a kid (she's 12) still in my opinion they should've talked her through it but they just came in and went straight to work. They just wanted to get the job done and didn't care about her feelings until I suggested that they do. Both the dental assistant and Dr Akkari are pretty "get the job done". We won't go back.

I’m usually afraid of dentist. But Dr Akarri and his staff are amazing. Dr. Akkari is so gentle and makes sure your comfortable. I had my wisdom teeth pulled and was worried. The procedure was effortless and pain free and I healed perfectly. Emily also cleaned my teeth and she was gentle and educated me on how I can take care of teeth. The staff is absolutely amazing. You walk in and insistently feel comfortable. I’m a client for life.

DrAkarri has to be the very best dentist I have ever had dental work done with. I was always feared going to the dentist but this dentist and his staff take exceptional care. If you need a dentist for you and your family I highly recommend

I have been seeing Dr Akkari for a while, he had transformed my teeth from an embarrassing to a gorgeous natural smile in the past. but today, I am writing about my 19 year old daughter's wisdom teeth.
Her wisdom teeth were impacted, infected and shifting her front teeth. Last week she woke up in pain. Dr Akkari took her in the same day and extracted all of four wisdom teeth in less than 30 minutes. Amazing!! she was very comfortable during surgery and only with minimal and minor discomfort the next day. Yesterday, we returned to the office to remove her stitches, she feels normal and her wounds are completely healed.
Thank you Dr and everyone that work in this office for your friendly atmosphere and caring.
PS: I forgot to mention that my husband got a quote at a different office that was more than double what we paid here!! I highly recommend it here.

Wow!! This place rocks! I am being honest, this is the first time I've gone to the dentist without crying. It's not the anxiety of the dentist that scares me, it's the question weather they will believe me or not. I have had a tooth that has bothered me for years and several dentists told me it looked completely healthy. Dr. Akkari saw decay inside by just looking at the x-ray. Finely, I got that tooth extracted. This dentist actually cares about you. I got several numbing shots and didn't feel anything. I cant believe how painless dental work actually can be! I definitely will go back for my fillings, and eventually partials.

I had never been awake while having a tooth removed. It was ( for a dentist visit) one of the best experiences. The doctor talked me the whole way through, and before i knew it the tooth was out. The staff here is amazing and kind and puts the client first at all times. I even get a blanket when i need it😊. Thank you everyone at Murrieta Smiles

I only called here because they advertised affordable wisdom teeth removal & other dentists/oral surgeons were quoting me $1k range for my procedure. I spoke with Rita regarding a quote and unlike any other offices that I called, she took the time to answer my questions & marketed the practice to me which sold me to book my appt ASAP!

I went in this morning and WOW was this an awesome experience! I have been talking to family and friends ALL day about how impressed I was with Dr. Akkari! I FELT NOTHING!!!!! (Again, this was a wisdom tooth removal) He numbed me with oral cream before numbing me with injection. Who does that?! No dentist has ever cared to do this & take that extra step to make sure the treatment is pain-free. He was gentle and friendly. I felt like my dental health was his priority. I’ve never met a dentist that has made me feel like being in his chair again!

In short, I give them 5 stars! I would much rather pay out of pocket to continue going to him than to use my dental insurance with another dentist in my plan. I’m currently recovering from a wisdom tooth removal and I’m happy, I can’t believe it. Thank you Rita & Dr. Akarri, your office has set the bar very high!
