“Opening the door to the Dr. Worley’s office, I was immediately impressed with the atmosphere of professionalism. I was both in awe and aware that this was one of the most important decisions I would ever make. The added surprise behind those doors was the astonishing people that make up this facility. I already knew they were on top of modern techniques in their field, but what I was about to learn was the astonishing level of caring and compassion they have for their patients. These are people who are willing to go beyond -- they extend themselves to others in an attitude of love, selflessness, generosity and genuineness. Through their support, encouragement and knowledge I found the strength to embark upon a journey of transforming my smile and my life. Not only did Dr. Worley and his amazing staff "hold my hand" through every step of the way, they became dear and valuable friends. I cannot thank them enough for giving me back the smile I have always held in my dreams.......THANK YOU ALL, for being there, for caring and making my treatment a breeze! A smile for you and a big kiss, too!” Veronica Sprayberry
“I think the world of Dr. Worley and his staff! They are all very kind and friendly not to mention Dr. Worley’s fabulous sense of humor. He and his team made me feel very comfortable throughout all seven dental implants that he placed for me. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone as their oral surgeon. Great Doctor and Staff! “ Jeanne Brawner
“Dr. Worley and his office staff are extremely pleasant, and incredibly courteous and competent. From my first visit to his office I was immediately put at ease by his friendly and knowledgeable staff’s attitude towards my care. Dr. Worley and his staff took the time to explain what needed to be done and what he intended to do, which took away my fear of the unknown. They truly responded to all my questions about the procedure. The procedure was performed in a pleasant and relaxing environment which turned out to be painless during and after. I actually went back to work immediately after my oral surgery. I have and will recommend Dr. Worley to all my friends, family and colleagues without any hesitation. Keep up the great job!!! “ Max North
“I cannot emphasize enough that implants are the way to go.” Dr. Worley is an extremely competent Doctor. I would highly recommend him to everyone! In fact I was just speaking with another patient of Dr. Worley’s, comparing notes and he too stated that his results were terrific!" Ed Schafer
“It was a wonderful experience. I just love Dr. Worley! All of the staff members were very nice and helpful. I was so shocked that Dr. Worley called to check on my status after my procedure! I am thrilled with the outcome and would recommend him to everyone and I do!” Helga Graff
“I have been in the dental profession for more than 20 years. Due to a congenital bone defect, my four front teeth were very loose and I had no supporting periodontal structure. My smile wasn’t very appealing and I was always self-conscious. I knew that I would have to deal with this dilemma some day but there was never a good solution to this unusual problem. My employer, Dr. Hester, suggested we consult with Dr. Worley. Within weeks, I was scheduled for the “teeth in a day” procedure, which was flawlessly coordinated by Dr. Worley and Dr Hester. These two doctors created a team network of excellence and worked beautifully together. In the course of just one afternoon, I left Dr. Worley’s office with the gorgeous smile I never dreamed possible. The entire process was so much easier than I imagined and I was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. This was very important to me. Thanks to Dr. Worley and Dr. Hester, my teeth are stable and strong and I owe my beautiful smile to their artistic abilities and caring manner. I highly recommend this procedure. It can and will change your life! “ Edna L. Sheffield, RDH
“Knowing you are losing a tooth is quite traumatic especially as a dental hygienist who was not supposed to lose a tooth! I have been a dental hygienist for 30 years and truly know the importance of a full dentition not only for esthetics but also for long-term function. Needless to say, I did everything possible to save a molar tooth that had begun to give me pain when chewing and during temperature changes. This tooth had developed an abscess/infection and was initially treated with root canal therapy. After a few different antibiotics and a treatment a retreatment of the root canal, I was still not able to resolve the infection and discomfort. I consulted with Dr. Worley and debated the options. We decided that in order to resolve the infection and preserve the bone around the tooth, it would be best to remove the tooth and place a single root implant in its place. As traumatic as that sounded to me about losing the tooth, Dr. Worley and his supportive staff truly helped calm my fears because now I was “the patient” and not the “dental care provider”. For the extraction of the tooth I did opt for IV sedation which went very smoothly. I waited for the extraction site to heal just a few weeks. I really felt so confident with Dr. Worley’s treatment plan and the great care from his staff that I had the implant placed with only localized anesthetic. I know it is hard to believe but I really had no discomfort during the appointment or afterwards. It almost was so easy I could not believe it either. After Dr. Worley checked a number of weeks later and gave me the go ahead, I had my dentist make the crown on top of the implant and now I have totally regained the use of this molar. I brush and floss just like I do for all the rest of my teeth. I sometimes even forget it is an implant. As a dental hygienist I always try to help my patient keep all of their natural teeth but sometimes things happen that are beyond our control and there is the unfortunate circumstance that teeth must be removed. The implant is most definitely the best way to replace those missing teeth. I do my best to share my experience with patients so they will not be afraid to consider the implant as an option. Dr. Worley and his staff are, absolutely, top notch in this field and first in providing this service to their patients. They can make it happen easily, comfortably, and yes “pain free”. “ Nancy DeMott, RDH
“The effort involved in getting dental implants has more than paid for itself. I’ve spent the last 3 years telling all my friends that implants are the only procedure I’d consider. I had a very positive experience with Dr. Worley who I found extremely informative with the procedure details, and I’m a detailed person. He also respected my desire for candor in his general approach to my medical care. Out of the many doctors offices I visit the overall experience including his staff was at the top 5-10% of any I’ve been to.” Ed Setzler
“Dr. Worley, Staff and services were GREAT!” I really appreciated being able to include family members with the decision making process. Treatment planning was explained in detail. I am so pleased with the outcome.” Beth Hildebrand
“We have known Dr. Worley for quite some time as our first introduction was the extraction of my daughter’s wisdom teeth. While she was a bit nervous and certainly apprehensive about being put to sleep, Dr. Worley gave her confidence in the procedure and it was painless with virtually no swelling (important to a teenager). Now she is 21 and in fact, just had foot surgery the other day and recalled the kind/painless treatment of Dr. Worley as the model for the foot surgeon to follow. Lucky for me, I have inherited by mother’s teeth and have had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Worley on two separate occasions for implants. It had been a number of years and Dr. Worley moved into his new facilities which are state-of-the-art. Most of the time with oral surgery, you don’t know what’s going on however I elected for local anesthesia and was awake for both procedures. Yes, it was painless again however I came to know what a skilled surgeon Dr. Worley is and his deep knowledge. Dr. Worley is a good man, highly educated, skilled in his craft and meticulous at what he does so there is limited follow up and quick healing. The staff that surrounds Dr. Worley also cares and is very professional. It is without hesitation that I would return and have referred a number of friends and family.” Bill
“My General dentist referred Dr. Worley to me. From the moment I walked to my treatment day and discharge Dr. Worley and his staff was friendly and courteous. I was seen by Dr.Worley at my scheduled appointment time. Great customer service! Treatment plan costs were discussed up front. After my surgery Dr. Worley called to check on me. I have referred him to everyone!” Don McLarty
“My daughter, a dental hygienist suggested dental implants and recommended Dr. Worley. You want a good doctor and someone who is reasonable pricewise. With Dr. Worley’s good reputation and affordable pricing made my decision to have implants placed easier. I was wearing out my partials and the costs associated with replacing them had become expensive. I feel that my quality of life is much better now and I’m not replacing my partials! I would and do recommend Dr. Worley to everyone and tell them it is well worth the investment!” Victoria Kemp
“My dentist recommended a procedure that would take up to 12 months to include wearing what is referred to as a “flipper” (removal tooth). I didn’t like anything I was hearing about this type of procedure and decided it was time to find a new dentist who at least was willing to try and help me with my problem. My new dentist recommended Dr. Worley because my tooth could not be saved. When I went in for my consultation with Dr. Worley he stated “we do things differently” then discussed my treatment options that did not include wearing a flipper for nearly a year. I was pleased with what I was being offered and scheduled my procedure. The procedure was painless and Dr. Worley did a great job. I have not had any problems since and would recommend him to anyone!” Jayne Hollingsworth
“I was first referred to Dr. Worley in 2002. My particular treatment plan was quite complex and involved the coordinated effort of an orthodontist, a general dentist and Dr. Worley as my oral surgeon. Throughout my treatment I was always impressed by Dr. Worley both as a professional and a person. In addition to perform beautiful work, he always made me feel very at ease during treatments. Dr. Worley is an outstanding oral surgeon and I would highly recommend him to anyone. “ Nancy McGrew
“I was referred to Dr. Worley by my general dentist for replacement of a bridge that broke and needed a replacement that would cover 4 teeth on the upper left side of my mouth. It involved a bone graft because my sinus cavity was too low to the bone line. I came in to talk with Dr. Worley on the first appointment he explained a lot of what would happen and his options for a solution one of which would save a lot of money. I appreciated that opportunity to have those two solutions presented. The surgery was very easy. Dr. Worley put me to sleep and I did not feel anything. I woke up later with no significant pain. In terms of my recovery I went home, filled my prescription for pain medication and antibiotics. The first week I have very minimal pain only a dull headache, which was not a big deal. A staff member called to check up on me after my surgery. I would recommend anyone to come to Dr. Worley for any type of oral surgery. Dr. Worley was very personable throughout the whole experience, has a good sense of humor and is a very pleasant person. “ Lester Hill
“After multiple implants being placed over several years Dr. Worley and his Staff have always put my comfort first making sure that all the procedures were pain free. He is always willing to explain everything in detail so that I would know exactly what was going at all times. I recommend Dr. Worley to everyone. “ Lee Titshaw
“Over the years I have had several dental procedures done by Dr. Worley and his excellent staff. I can truthfully say that I have been very pleased with their professional expertise and caring attitude. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Worley and his very competent staff.“ Gene Hunt

“I am so happy with my new smile that it’s difficult to remember what my teeth ever looked like before. I am no longer uncomfortable smiling, which has made a drastic difference in my daily life! Let’s face it… knowing that all of your teeth need to be removed can be nerve-racking, but I learned that it doesn’t have to be! My friends and family are very impressed with my new smile, and those who meet me for the first time cannot tell that I have dental implants. My smile now looks like it should. Dr. Worley and his staff took extra good care of me to ensure that my experience was comfortable and as painless as possible. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Worley and his team to anyone who is considering dental implants.” Jean-Louis Hautvas
“WOW! No pain after the procedure and all is well. That says a lot for your office. Not only is the morale of everyone there the best, but Dr. Worley has magical hands. He is the only Doctor for Earl and I. I would not have been there if Earl hadn't bragged about him. We love the staff to death!” Sylvia Malone
“I have been in dentists’ chairs off and on since I was 3 years old. I have been blessed, in the intervening 69 years, with the care of quite a number of kind and skillful dental specialists. I wonder if I might even qualify as a connoisseur of dentists? At any rate, I think I am qualified to say that Dr. Mac Worley, who has installed 12 implants for me in the last 10 years, is my all time favorite. He and his staff are always kind and professional. He has never hurt me (his skill with numbing injections is off the chart), and my recuperation has never required more than a few Ibuprofen—with very little swelling. His office is convenient, pleasant, and spotless, and his equipment is up to the minute. I would recommend him to anyone needing any type of oral or maxillofacial surgery”. Jane
“Over fifteen years ago Dr. Worley removed one of my son's wisdom teeth. Once again, three years ago he removed another son's wisdom teeth. Both had no trouble either before, during, or afterwards. This was due, in part, to the time that was spent beforehand explaining the procedure and answering any questions they, or I, had. We never felt that we were being rushed and that the Dr. was as close as a phone call away at any time. The staff was courteous and knew their stuff. Last year Dr. Worley installed a titanium implant for me and I was amazed at how easy the procedure was for me. Pre and post care were, once again, provided which, I felt, were instrumental in the success of this procedure, along with the ease I felt with Dr. Worley due to past experiences.” Faith Teem
“After having a root canal and going through a lengthy period of infections and discomfort, I had a tooth removed in my lower jaw by my regular dentist. I found out several months later that the adjoining tooth had to be removed. The healing process on the first removal was extremely slow. I have to admit, I thought this was a normal process, UNTIL, my wife asked her hygienist for a recommendation of an oral surgeon. She was given Dr. Worley’s name. Rumor had it that he was one of the top 3 oral surgeons in GA. I now know why. The experience with the second extraction was night and day in comparison to the first. I cannot praise his skill and professionalism highly enough. What a difference. I can’t thank Dr. Worley and his staff enough for such a positive experience. Thanks to everyone again. Rick Kuhns
“Going to Dr. Worley’s office was a GREAT experience for me, The Lord led me to the right Surgeon. During my visits everything was handled with great care by the assistants and Dr. Worley. When I had questions they were answered to my satisfaction. I give my highest regards to Dr. Worley and his Staff and recommend him to everyone. I am Very, Very Happy with the outcome!” Roy Sullins
“My experience was totally positive. Dr. Worley is fabulous and quite capable as an Oral Surgeon. He put my situation at total ease every step of the way. He was concerned with my pain level & comfort. My procedure was totally pain free. I never had any adverse complications during the recovery period. The staff was equally concerned about me as the patient-- friendly, efficient, courteous. All procedures were done on time with no waiting. Dr. Worley addressed each step as he progressed which minimized my anxiety.” Wardlyn Bassler
“My recent experience at Dr. Worley’s office was great. After fifteen years with dentures, I can truly say that dental implants are wonderful. Because of some problems caused by my dentures, it was a long process getting the implants done. Dr. Worley and his staff were there with me every step of the way. Their guidance and support made all the difference. I cannot say enough about the service and professionalism at Dr. Worley’s office. I highly recommend them to all who ask.” Al Patin
“My experience with Dr. Worley and his staff was wonderful! I had already had the pleasure of meeting them once before when my husband John went to them for some surgical procedures. He thought that they did a wonderful job and I must agree with him completely! Dr. Worley has wonderful doctor and patient manner. I was a little guna shy from a very bad dental experience in the past. My worries were unfounded and I must say I would recommend him and his great and friendly staff to everyone that needed a dental specialist!” JoAnn Goolsby-Miller
“I had a wonderful experience getting my tooth implant from Dr Worley and his staff. They are very professional, very much aware of the needs of the patient, prompt, and un-hurried. I felt no pain at all and I only chose to use the novocaine form of pain control. The office facility is pleasant and the entire staff behaves as if "the patient comes first". My recovery was rapid and my new crown is so comfortable that I don't even notice it. Although I would rather not have oral surgery, if I do, I will not be anxious about the implementation of any procedure from his office. I highly and unequivocally recommend Dr Worley and his entire staff without reservation. It was a very positive experience and, of course, my problem has been resolved!" Joanne Petrella
“I am extremely pleased with my tooth and the professional work done by Dr. Worley. He and his staff were very knowledgeable, courteous and extremely considerate. I would highly recommend them to anyone!” Priscilla Smith
“Excellent experience! Dr. Worley and the staff were very friendly and made each visit, including the implant surgery, comfortable. Appointment times were always convenient. If I am ever in need of oral surgery again, I will call Mountain View Oral Surgery!” Stephanie Hanak
“I just completed the process for placing a dental implant. In the past, I have had full gum surgery along with extractions, root canals, placement of partials and countless other procedures. The implant procedure with Dr. Worley was one of the smoothest processes I have been through, though. Dr. Worley and his staff were extremely efficient and showed concern for me at all times. Dr. Worley extracted my tooth and placed the dental implant the same day. I had little discomfort the first few hours and after that, almost none at all. I will not hesitate to do it again if the need arises. I would highly recommend Dr. Worley if anyone is considering implants.” Charles Kemp
“During the operation, everything went smoothly and I didn’t feel a thing. The staff was very helpful and positive. Afterwards, the pain was very slight and I only had to take advil one time.” Shifra Erez
"Dr. Worley is simply the best Oral Surgeon in the area. His education & experience are top notch. We are very lucky to have him here! He removed my oldest son’s wisdom teeth some 10 years ago and I remembered him mostly by his photo. I searched the internet and luckily his photo triggered my memory! Staff is excellent, office is excellent, doctor is superior!" The Goodall Family
"The team at Mountain View Oral Surgery & Dental Implants is a really friendly bunch. They speak as you enter the room and greet you with a smile. There is a TV available to help calm the nerves while you are waiting. Speaking of waiting, there never was a time during my implant process that I had to wait more than five minutes! The staff runs on time and treats you like your time is also valuable. Dr. Worley did a wonderful job of sensing when he needed to slow down and check on me while he was removing my tooth. After the tooth was removed, I got very anxious and my hands and feet started tingling. Dr. Worley stopped his work, patiently reassured me, and made sure I felt OK before he started placing the implant. He was very good about communicating what he was going to do next. I knew what was going to happen before he started each step. I am very happy with the new tooth. It is hard for me to tell which is the real tooth and which is supported by the implant. The color matches perfectly (editor’s note: thanks to Dr. David Kurtzman!). Thank you Dr. Worley and TEAM, great job!" Happy with your work, Daphney Glass
Dr. Worley and his staff were very helpful and professional. My son received excellent care and the surgery he had went very well. We couldn’t be more pleased with Dr. Worley’s skill and attentiveness or with the friendliness and help of his staff. ***** 5 Stars! Thanks, Barbara Mehlber
From the moment I spoke on the phone with the receptionist, I knew Dr. Worley's office was going to be the one I would go to get my wisdom teeth extracted. Not only can you feel the compassion each one of the staff has towards their patients, and future patients, the atmosphere they set in the office is incredibly comforting. In addition, Dr. Worley sets the standards to how all types of doctors should be; he is informative, confident and takes the time to address ones needs and concerns. The staff are very kind and are always wearing a smile. I came away from my surgery with no pain or swelling and happy as could be with my experience. Thank you for everything Mountain View! - Kristen Smith :-)
I would recommend Dr. Worley for any of your oral surgery needs. The staff was polite and knowledgeable. – Steven
After all the "horror" stories from friends & family, I was a bit apprehensive about having my wisdom teeth pulled, especially at "40 something years old". However, Dr. Worley and the staff at Mountain View made me feel comfortable, explained the procedure in detail and answered my questions. I never felt rushed & the procedure itself, well, it was over in no time & I had minimal pain afterwards. I would highly recommend Dr. Worley for oral surgery needs! - Michelle
Wonderful experience is not something usually said about going to an Oral Surgeon, but Dr. Worley and his staff all made the experience of having oral surgery (tooth extraction and implant) as easy and "painless" as possible. Highly recommend the practice. – James
Great Job! Well - getting wisdom teeth out in a 17 year old is never something you exactly look forward to, however, Dr. Worley and his staff made it "less painful". The whole procedure was well explained in detail, the procedure was done on time, and the friendly staff made my son, Matt, feel at home and comfortable. The office is convenient with easy parking too. The follow up was thorough and we were very pleased with the outcome. We will go to Dr. Worley for the second child who is about ready to get her wisdom teeth out! – Cindi
Overall a great environment! The entire staff is very friendly and do a great job making all of the patients feel comfortable. Each procedure was explained in detail and in a way that all patients could understand and feel at ease. I would highly recommend going to see Dr. Worley at Mountain View for any oral surgery and dental implants needed! - Mary Margaret
It was evident from my experience at Mountain View Oral Surgery that Dr. Worley cares for his patients as individuals. He is personally involved in each step of the surgery process, even to the follow up phone calls! I felt I received the best quality care and would highly recommend Dr. Worley. – Leigh
Great job here! I had my wisdom teeth taken out here several years ago and could not have asked for a better experience. Dr. Worley and the rest of his staff are top notch! - Andrew
Over the past 4 years, Dr Worley has done two extractions and 4 implants for me. The experience for me has been that I suffered no real pain and have had super results over the years. He is a caring professional and I would not go to anyone else for any kind of oral surgery. – Dr. Henry Randall
Spectacular all around! Unfortunately, I had to have my wisdom teeth removed, but it was as good as could be! Dr. Worley and all his nurses are very nice and he made sure to check on me a few days later to make sure my recovery was going well. - Lauren
Truly AMAZING staff led by a gifted surgeon! From start to finish, my son's procedure was a success, but also very comforting for him too. When your 9 and have to have 9 teeth extracted from your mouth, there's not much excitement in that venture. Given the fact that 4 had already been pulled by another doctor without full sedation, that makes the nerves all the more uneasy. Dr. Worley and his team exceeded our expectations in every area of professionalism, education of procedure, outcomes as what to expect, comfort of our son and most of all a genuine concern for his well being. Dr. Worley came highly reccomended from several family members who were former patients, both of which are physicians and can value the level of training, expertise and wisdom with which he practices medicine and runs his practice. It is no surprise that we too came to appreciate all of these attributes and have since referred many of our own family and friends to him. We have been blessed by his care of not only our family, but those we have referred too! From start to finish, my son's procedure, was a success, but also very comforting for him too. While Dr. Worley's walls give account to his extensive medical training beyond that of a typical oral surgeon, my family is most impressed with his bedside manner and the level of compassion and concern that he and his staff show from beginning to end. It is with great delight and without reservation that we recommend Dr. Mac Worley! - The Espy Family
