Dr. Michael R. Worthy, D.D.S.
Michael R. Worthy, DMD, MAGD
Dr. Worthy has been a resident of Towns County since 1980. Upon graduating from Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry in June of 1980, he moved to Hiawassee and opened his own private practice on September 10, 1980. He and his wife, Barbara, raised their daughters while practicing dentistry in the community of Towns County until January of 1999. At that time, the family responded to their call into full-time mission work in Central Asia. They were able to utilize their profession of dentistry as an inroad into a part of the world that had previously had limited access to the Gospel for centuries. After serving in Central Asia until the end of 2006, they relocated back to Towns County full-time.
Dr. Mike is a member of The American Dental Association, the Georgia Dental Association, the Eastern District Dental Society, and the Academy of General Dentistry. On July 20, 1987, Dr. Mike received his Fellowship Award, and then on July 19, 1993, he received his Mastership Award from the Academy for maintaining his commitment to continuing dental education. He continues to attend various continuing education courses.
In his free time, Dr. Mike values spending time with his family, especially his five grandchildren.
With the transition of Dr. Claire Worthy’s practice to Dr. Jason Kirkpatrick in August of 2018, Dr. Mike is happy he can continue to serve the patients of Hiawassee Family Dental as a contract dentist. He appreciates the people of the local communities and their support as he have strived to meet their dental needs for 40 years.
