Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Professional and Considerate!!
Had a number of questions and concerns. He patiently listened to me and was able to address all of my issues. Staff is friendly and overall visit was professional and considerate, thus the title. Great team.

Consistently excellent!
After many years with my first sleep device, it was time for a new one. Many of the staff are new, but the patient care and service are still top notch! Expert medical care with a side of pleasant service. Can’t be beat!

The absolute best sleep medicine doctor in the metroplex. I woul never consider going to anyone else. After trying CPAP that did not work for me then having very painful surgery that only marginally helped me I got my oral appliance from Dr Akkad an went from very sever sleep apnea to only 2 episodes an hour. He changed the quality of my life.

Dental appliance
I have been using a dental appliance to control sleep apnea for 10 years and have found it to be better than a CPAP. My older clients fell to the hard floor and cracked so I went to Dr. Akkad for a new one. The technology has improved greatly in the last 10 years and I am sleeping better than ever!

Excellent Patient Care
Dr. Akkad and his staff are very patient focused. They took time to ensure all my questions were answered and that I understood how and why the device would benefit me. Dr. Akkad made me feel listened to and even took time to review things I may experience while adjusting to my new device and made it very clear that I was to call his office if I had any concerns. I'm looking forward to getting some sleep!

Best decision I've made for my sleep apnea!
Dr. Akkad and staff are amazing, friendly and prompt. From the receptionist to Dr. Akkad, the customer service is top notch. I was never able to adjust to CPap as it made me claustrophobic and couldn't even fall asleep with the mask despite sleep aid and months of trying. His mouthpiece device was a lifesaver, literally! I have been going to his office for over 5 years and I can not recommend them enough! The device is easy and comfortable to wear and most importantly restored my sleep quality above and beyond my expectations! Don't bother going anywhere else!

Dr Akkad helped adjust my appliance to hopefully reduce snoring. We will see. Since I was first given the appliance 3 years ago, I have gained 10-15 pounds and my snoring returned. Losing weight is my primary goal and not to need to have an appliance in my mouth nightly! Nice guy and appears knowledgeable !
