I was very anxious to get my wisdom teeth extracted. Dr. Turley explained the procedure and what to expect- he was very professional and competent. Dr. Turley gave detailed and thorough instructions on what to expect day by day afterwards as well. I recommend! 10/10!

I wish I would've read all the bad reviews on HealthGrades before I came in to see Dr. Turley. As many others stated, the bedside manner was not good at all. Refused to return my wisdom teeth to me (I wanted them back for religious reason for my grandmother and I, he was told that) and he claimed it was because of OSHA reasons (Blood-borne Pathogens). It was not. OSHA and CDC both state you can return wisdom teeth and the Blood-borne Pathogen guidelines do not apply if they're being returned to the patient.

Left me alone during an anxiety attack before I went out. The last thing I remember in the few minutes before I went out was having chest tightness/pain and seeing & hearing not just the low 02 alarm, but the apnea alarm. Couldn't even mention the chest pain to him because there was nobody in the room after they administered my sedative until I was already out. I would think that would be a HUGE risk for aspiration, among other things.
