“Dr. Achikeh has been my dentist for the last decade.”
Great visit (over a decade) by someone who has sensitive teeth and is not fond of going to the dentist. Dr. Achikeh has been my dentist for the last decade - we travel well out of our way to visit him and his staff of hygienists. He has a gentle touch - both in doing his work in your mouth, and in conversation with you.
He cares and it shows.

“Excellent experience he pulled two teeth and felt nothing and everyone is s nice”
I have a phobia about dentist and this man and staff have cured that. The office and staff are very welcoming from entrance to exit. I would refer the world to this place, no hesitation.

“Always amazing!!”
I have been Dr Kingsley's patient for over 10 years now. One of the best dentist's in the DMV area. Always very professional, kind, friendly, and willing to help you achieve your goals. I highly recommend him to all my family and friends. He is amazing, the best dentist I've ever had!!. The staff was also always very professional and friendly. The office is always very modern and super clean!

“An amazingly friendly, talented, smart dentist. I've never had a better one, and I doubt I ever will.”
Dr Kingsley goes above and beyond. He makes coming to the dentist's office not a pain, but an absolute pleasure. I'm always excited to see him and talk to him, even if it's just for a brief few moments. I'm never in the chair for long. When I've needed to have cavities filled, or need to come back for another appointment, Dr Kingsley makes himself very available, he's come in on days that he's taken off just to work with my schedule. That kind of flexibility is impossible to find and is so appreciated. He's always diligent and caring, and like I've said in my title, I don't think I'll ever be lucky enough to find a better dentist, let alone health professional.
Thank you so much Dr Kingsley, you make my day every time I come in.

“Best dentist ever”
I love the care I get here. Life changing. I now go every four months when I used to avoid the dentist.
