Worob Marc J DDS

Fabulous, personable care from front office through out entire visit! Worth out of network for the excellent are

I have been a patient of Dr. Worob for 30 years after moving to Austin and believe that I have received the best dental care available. When it was necessary to have dental implants last year, naturally I spoke to Doctors Worob and Cronin about the procedure including the cost and completion schedule. Based on prior dental work performed by Dr. Worob to repair and maintain teeth damaged in an accident when I was 19, I had complete confidence in 12 Oaks Dental.
I am very pleased with the dental implants (front four upper and front four lower teeth) and the new crowns inserted on all of my other teeth. The dental implant procedure included adjusting my bite to compensate for damage to the roof of my mouth caused by the accident which left me with an overbite and wide space between my front teeth. I now have natural looking and functioning teeth and I no longer hesitate to smile. My dental work, although extensive, was completed as scheduled and for the agreed upon amount. I would highly recommend Doctors Worob and Cronin and the staff of 12 Oaks Dental to anyone for their dental care.

My family and I went to twelve oaks dental several times over the past year or so. The service from the dentists and hygienist was really solid. However, the billing from the office is definitely subpar and borderline dishonest. After my wife’s 2^nd visit we paid our bill and settled our account. We were told that we are all set and no additional payment was due. A couple months went by and to our surprise an additional bill for several hundred dollars came. We called the office when the bill came and received a vague explanation about our insurance not covering certain charges. We asked why those charges weren’t brought to light when we paid our bill and there was no explanation. It is a shame because the dentists at this office really were great, but you definitely don’t want to deal with an office that is unclear and not upfront about bills and billing. The dishonesty and questionable business practices of this office lead me to recommend finding a different dentist.

Although recommended by several friends, I unfortunately found this practice to be driven by profit margin goals, under the pretense of top-​level dentistry.
When presented with a written proposal for $ 10k worth of dentistry needs, Dr. Worob covered the total amount with his hands for most of the conversation, despite my asking to see the total. I’m an adult and can handle life decisions, and don’t need psychological games to mitigate sticker shock. It felt like a transaction in a car dealership.
Overall, I just didn’t trust their intentions and always felt very uncomfortable in their office.

Dr. Worob and the staff at 12 Oaks Dental have been our family dentist for over 20 years! My son is the third generation to receive care from this team. Dr. Cronin has been a great addition to the practice too.
The thing I love most about 12 Oaks Dental is that they are always studying and researching new techniques and ways to keep us healthier. They also pay attention to the whole health of the patient, to keep an eye on anything else in your medical history that might also affect your dental health. They don’t «sell» you on procedures and tests you don’t need, but they do make recommendations and suggestions to help you.
The only con is that they are busy so if you have to reschedule an appointment you might have a wait. However they are very good about keeping you on their call lost to try and get you in sooner when someone else cancels.

I am a fitness enthusiast and my education is in health, wellness, and kinesiology. That being said, I am a person who loves going to the dentist, and I am especially prudent when choosing my dentist… Dr. Worob is meticulous in his examination and consultation, and his entire staff follow his leadership. I love the education that comes from him and from all the hygienists and the other dentists. The front administrative desk ladies are prompt, warm and down-​to-​earth!!! A person knows of Dr. Worob’s passion for healthy teeth and gums when he explains all of the options and possibilities during his thorough examination (headaches and teeth clenching or grinding). Woohoo! I had marked improvement in gum tissue health since my last visit 4 months ago! I so appreciate his candidness and knowledge about dental health and will be a patient of his for as long as I am in Austin! My teeth are important to me and I want them to last my lifetime!

For folks trying out Dr. Worob, I’d recommend seeing if your personalities match up. For me, it wasn’t a good fit and I felt like this office was primarily about profit maximization instead of what was actually needed.
It took me a little while to find a replacement but I’m very happy with Dr. Mollie Kentor (found her on Unilocal!).

Sadly I post this after having a filling. My first filling, i think. A big disappointment on my otherwise unmarred dental career. That said, I’ve made it to age 28 with my teeth in great condition. Pretty impressive if you knew how much candy I eat. The secret of my success? Dr. Marc Worob.
He’s been my dentist since I first moved to austin at age 2. My whole family goes here. Marc is a friendly, funny guy and of course a great dentist. He also has a great staff. I’ve even had one of the same friendly hygienists for most of my life.
He redid the whole office a few years back so that their equipment and systems are very modern. They can show you on screen how your last xrays looked, what were problem spots 6months ago, etc. I always feel better when Doctors are using technology to their full advantage.
Even though I’ve long been too old to grab something from the toy chest after my visits, going to the dentist is still a pleasurable experience for me.
