"Dr. Hardison and his staff are absolutely the best! They are all very kind, considerate and professional. I highly recommend Middle Tennessee Oral & Implant Surgery!"
"My son and I went for his consultation yesterday with Dr. Hardison in Murfreesboro. We live in Smyrna but wanted to do the consult in Murfreesboro since my son was out of school and Dr. Hardison was in Murfreesboro yesterday. What a great experience! I was so grateful that Paige made my son and I both feel very comfortable from the beginning. My son is a teenager and would never tell you he was nervous, but he was. She was so very friendly and happy to answer any and all questions we both had. Dr. Hardison was exactly what we needed. Excellent bedside manner and also willing to answer any and all questions. I feel so relieved that even before my son's procedure, we feel comfortable with what will happen. I would recommend Dr. Hardison to anyone that is looking for an excellent oral surgeon who will go above and beyond for his patients. I am looking forward to doing another review after my son's surgery. I feel confident that it will be 5 stars as well. Don't hesitate to make your appointment with Dr. Hardison!"

"Very professional staff...and the process all went smoothly and efficiently. I am very pleased with Dr Hardison and his staff."

"The nurses and Dr Hardison were wonderful and made the experience for my 9 year old as pleasant as possible"

"Excellent experience with both of my children with Dr. Hardison and the staff!!!"
"We have been going to the Hardisons for over 30 years. They have treated every member of my family. Most recently my 17 y/o. We have always received the very best care and treatment, and Dr. Mark literally saved my life from a terrible abscess during COVID shut down. 10/10 recommend."
"Dr. Hardison and his staff are the best! I highly recommend them!!"

"Friendliest staff I've ever seen and Dr. Hardison is the best. He is so kind. He took time to explain everything and answer questions. Surgery went great too. 5 stars across the board 🤗"
"They brought me to a room to go over some stuff and asked me to watch a video about wisdom teeth removal. Once I was sat in the chair, they did an IV, did blood pressure. Once Dr Mark Hardison was in, I was put to sleep immediately and before I knew it, I was in a wheelchair with some gauze in my mouth and ready to go home. The procedure did not take him long to do. I was in and out. I can honestly say, there is very little pain and this is my 2nd day of having my wisdom teeth out! Definitely recommend going here!"
"Dr Hardison & his staff are so very skilled & professional!! I just can’t thank them enough for my care . I highly recommend Middle Tennessee Oral & Implant Surgery!!"
"Entire staff and Dr.Hardison were very professional and personable. Appointments were on time with little to no wait to be called back. Had tooth pulled and implant completed with very little pain 😀. Super happy as a patient"
"Dr Hardison is a great asset to this community and his profession. He always takes the time to discuss everything and provide the utmost care, as if you were a member of his family. Highly recommend him and the entire practice!"
"Extremely impressed with the care I received and the outcome!! Dr. Hardison did an amazing job! So thankful to God!"
"No one enjoys dental work, but Dr. Hardison and the staff at MTOIS made me feel comfortable and cared for throughout the process. I felt I was in good hands at each step of the way and would choose them again if I need oral surgery in the future."
"Dr. Hardison and his team are absolutely amazing. I was able to have my top wisdom teeth removed the same day as the consult which was so convenient. Dr. Hardison listened to my concerns, as I was nervous this time since I had a bad experience with another dentist who had done my bottom wisdom teeth removal many years ago. (I highly recommend seeing an oral surgeon for this procedure, btw.) I was also nervous about the IV sedation, but it went great. I was actually playing piano later that day because I felt good. The office even called to check on me to be sure I was doing okay. I highly recommend this practice. Thank you, Dr. Hardison and staff, for making my visit and procedure go so well."
"Yea, extraction with no pain, no problem. Thanks to all who made that happen...especially doc Hardison."
"Dr Hardison is absolutely excellent in his field. The staff is great very helpful with your insurance or anything else you may need. Even waiting goes quick. They keep to their schedule. Also will check to make sure your ok after any procedure and get you back in fast for any issues if necessary."
"Dr. Hardison & his staff were excellent! I had all 4 wisdom teeth out & am feeling great! Highly recommend them!!"
"Dr. Hardison is the best."
"Nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Hardison and his staff. I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted 10 days ago. I was sedated and it took him just 35 minutes to extract them. I am in my mid 40's and petrified of any dental work. Dr. Hardison and his staff had incredible bedside manners and really made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend!"
"I am so thankful we got a referral to this practice. I just can’t tell you how fabulous Dr. Hardison and his team are. My son (7) had a bad tooth that has kept him in pain for the last few days. His regular dentist was going to make him wait 2 months to pull it. Layla, is the first person I came into contact with, I told her the issue and she got us in the same day…in 2 hours! While they are not pediatric dentists, they were all WONDERFUL with my baby boy. My son has never had any work done and I was so nervous. Layla, Leslie & Paige took such good care of him, they were rubbing his arms and legs while he was getting his laughing gas, they treated him like they were working on their own kids. When it was time to do the IV they handled it PERFECTLY. They made sure my baby was as comfortable as possible the entire time. I am so grateful for this team. They went above and beyond for us even with a packed schedule. Truly amazing staff."
"Dr. Hardison and his team have been a delight to work with. They have all been very informative and thorough while creating a gentle easy going atmosphere."
"Dr. Mark was great, scheduled several follow ups to make sure I was healing properly after my wisdom teeth extraction (had all four pulled) 10/10 recommend, his staff is very friendly and caring."
"I had a consultation with this office 2 weeks ago and they were beyond kind. I immediately felt comfortable scheduling the surgery. I informed them of my passing out seeing needles and they took every measurement possible to make me comfortable. From start to finish I had a great experience! I am fortunate to have an easier recovery due to my wisdom teeth not being impacted and so far I am feeling wonderful with no pain and no pain management! Thanks to the staff and doctor Hardison for taking such good care of me!"
"Well-run practice. My consultation with Dr. Hardison was easy and thorough."
"Dr Hardison and his staff are the absolute best. They are all so kind and Dr Hardison puts you at complete ease throughout the dental process. I wouldn’t go anywhere else if I ever need any kind of dental surgery again!!"
"We had a great experience with Dr. Hardison! He and his staff are very friendly and personable and answered all of our questions. We were in and out very quickly."
"NEW UPDATE: I was seen first thing today by Dr. Hardison. It was a night and day difference between the doctors. He compassionately listened to my problems, did a thorough exam (with gloves), had an idea as to what is causing my pain, and was willing to work with me to find a solution. I now have a plan in place and a follow up appointment scheduled to see if it's working or whether we need to try something else. I would recommend seeing Dr. Hardison if you come to Middle TN Oral & Implant Surgery. UPDATE: The office called within 30 minutes of posting my review, offering to get me in to see the original Dr. who was on my referral. I will update my review after that appointment. 10/10 to the office staff who provided exemplary customer service. I have raised my rating based on the office staff alone. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I have no complaints about the office staff or the dental assistants. I was originally referred to a particular Dr. at the Smryna office, but they were unable to see me until January. I was instead scheduled for the first opening for a patient consult which happened to be in Murfreesboro with Dr. Paul Warden. He spent a total of two minutes with me, barely glanced at the scans, and was insensitive and dismissive. When I explained what was going on he decided to look in my mouth with a disposable mirror, WITHOUT GLOVES ON, from an arms length away. My problem was at the very back of my mouth, and I have a very small mouth. How could he see anything from that distance away? He then proceeded to scrape at the area with the mirror and asked if that was what I was talking about. I had no mirror to see what he was actually doing, and I was greatly concerned about having gloveless hands right next to my mouth. He completely dismissed me, my symptoms and my dentist (who I trust a great deal). It would have been one thing if he had taken the time to safely and thoroughly inspect the area in question before dismissing it as nothing (I respect the profession and would trust their opinion), but that was not the case. He spent a total of 2 minutes, was completely unprofessional, and hygienically unsafe. I left that appointment with the area in question hurting from his "exam"."
"Dr. Hardison and the entire staff were nothing short of amazing in taking care of me! I was 33 weeks pregnant when I went to have my tooth extracted. I was so incredibly nervous, but they stayed calm and comforting for me and I felt much more at ease. They even called the next day to see how I was doing because they knew I had been so nervous! I very highly recommend this practice!"
"After, two weeks of calling and trying to find someone who accepted our insurance and could see my son for his wisdom teeth they were the answer to my prayers! My son was working out of state and he was coming that weekend and they were able to work him in the next morning and also do surgery! We can’t say enough about Dr. Hardison and the wonderful office staff!!! We need more like them!!"
"I got my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Hardison and I had a great experience. The staff was so kind and my healing process was a breeze. I also had a follow-up with Dr. Warden and yup you guessed it he was very kind as well! As long as you do what you’re told at home after your surgery it should be smooth sailing!"
"Dr Hardison & staff in both the Smyrna and Murfreesboro locations are amazing! Patient and kind, they take their time with you. Never feel rushed. I am terrified of any teeth work, but they made it so I felt calm and in great hands,"
"Dr. Hardison and all his staff are professional, friendly and reassuring. Those on call after hours are especially helpful with solid advice when you need them."
"Dr. Mark Hardison and assistant Johnnie were amazing. I couldn't be happier with the results of my dental inplants. After a bad experience with another Dr., I am extremely grateful for the outcome of my surgery.Brenda"
"My husband and I both had implants recently, and Dr. Hardison and Dr. Warden were kind, knowledgeable, and professional. The staff was supportive, helpful, and friendly throughout the process. Layla was especially helpful to us. My dentist referred us to MTOIS, and I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends."
"Dr Hardison done an outstanding job for me"
"I can not say enough great things about this practice. I should have gotten my wisdom teeth out years ago but I was terrified! I finally got it done here and was so apprehensive but the staff made it a breeze. Dr. Hardison was the absolute best. No one wants to go get oral surgery but when the time comes, he made it so easy and a great experience. I felt safe, in good hands and that he had the wisdom to take care of any issue that arose."
"Had my wisdom teeth removal surgery today and I’m really impressed at how quick it was! After waking up, I was emotional at how well nurse Johnni had taken care of me. 😂 Although, the last thing I remember with Dr. Hardison was “Hello, How are you doing?”, I know for sure that he did an amazing job! I rarely feel the need to leave reviews when visiting doctor’s offices, but I am just really happy and impressed with my experience here with Dr. Hardison, the nurses, and staff!"
"This is my first google review because it's an absolute MUST SHARE! The entire staff = beyond amazing! I was very scared to have a tooth extracted. The front desk was kind and knew my case before I arrived. Dr. Mark Hardison made me feel at ease during the consultation and throughout the visit. Johnnie made me feel so comfortable during the procedure. (NOT an easy task- I mean, I cried from nerves!) They called to check-up and I'm happy to report I am fully healed and rid of a monstrous pain. I know that if they treated me this good, you can expect the same! THANK YOU. I am forever grateful."
"This is the most wonderful place. From the receptionist to the nurse to the oral surgeon, everyone was courteous, helpful, caring, knowledgeable, and just A-1 all around terrific. I had a tooth pulled, a bond graft done and an implant put it so I’ve been there over the last few months. I highly recommend Dr. Hardison and his staff."
"I was so impressed with Dr. Hardison and his staff. We had to drive an hour and a half, so they worked with us and had both my daughter’s consultation and wisdom teeth removal at the same appointment. They all were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. I saw this not only with us but also with other patients as we were waiting. It doesn’t get any better than this."
"I went through all of the implant process with Dr. Hardison and his staff. They are all very professional. Everything went as explained and very little discomfort. I would recommend them to anyone needing oral surgery or implants."
"Nobody wants to have a tooth extracted or be prepped for a dental implant, but if you find yourself in this position, go see Dr. Hardison and his team. From the moment you make your appointment you feel at ease. All the staff are very kind and welcoming. Dr. Hardison took his time and answered all of my questions. I was not nervous after meeting with him. Shelby was so thoughtful when scheduling my appointments and going over my insurance benefits. I knew what to expect and there were no surprises. Couldn’t recommend them more. I had a wonderful client experience and so appreciate the service. Dr. Hardison and his team really shine. I feel that I was given effective advice and was provided with distinctive service! Thank you all for making what could have been a scary experience a peaceful one."
"I just want to say dr. Mark is a wonderful surgery the man is so kind and treat you like a human and very good and what he does I mean very good I was very nervous when I went and when I met doctor Mark I was so relaxed I was telling him how good my last surgeon was but doctor Mark is like the real dr. Dreamy lol"
"As a repeat customer, I have had 2 extractions and 1 implant, all with sedation, by Dr. Hardison in the Smyrna office. He is very knowledgeable, compassionate, experienced, and answers all your questions to put you at ease. The staff and assistants are friendly, helpful, and efficient as well. They work to get you in as soon as possible and check on you the day following the procedure. The written/verbal instructions for after care are very clear and you can call with questions anytime. Highly recommend."
"I don’t know that I’ve ever been so thankful for a doctor. I walked in last Friday in so much pain I could not sit up properly or carry on a normal conversation. Dr. Hardison worked me in immediately and took care of the problem. 10/10, would absolutely recommend Dr. Hardison and his staff!"
"I have now had 2 family members here having wisdom teeth removed and the Staff and Doctor (Mark Hardison) was outstanding."
"I've always had a fear of going to the dentist, mainly from listening to everyone else's experience. My wisdom teeth had been bothering me for a while and I finally made an appointment with MTOIS. My first consultation was better than i thought it would be. The moment I was walked to the back, I was at ease. The young lady that took my Xrays was very polite and welcoming. Dr. Hardison came in to talk to me about the procedure and he was very detailed and listened to everything i said. I didn't feel rushed at all. The day of the procedure, I remember laughing and talking with the nurses and Dr. Hardison, and the next thing I know, I'm in my drive way and my husband is telling me "don't open the door, i'm coming around to open it" Lol. I followed the instructions, kept the meds in my system, slowly progressed to eating solids and i was fine. No problems at all! I have recommended this office and Dr. Hardison to my friends and family! The staff and Doctors are amazing! Thank you, MTOIS! You all are amazing!!!"
"I can’t say enough about Dr Hardison and his staff, from the front desk to the procedure room. I had a horrible experience the day before with my dentist trying to extract a tooth for an hour and not getting the tooth out. Dr Hardisons staff scheduled me for the next morning to be sedated and remove the tooth. The office staff all put me at ease from the beginning and Dr Hardison is a gem. One minute I’m talking to him while he’s starting the sedation and the next thing I remember is looking over to see the wheel chair beside the chair, and them rolling me to the car. I would recommend this office over and over! This office provides top notch patient care!"
"Dr. Hardison and Dr. Jeff Warden are both incredible blessings to our community. They provide amazing care at their office. Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you need wisdom teeth removed or dental implants, this is the place to go."
"Dr. Hardison and the staff were very nice. They were professional and kind, made me feel at ease during my surgery. They even called the next day after the surgery to make sure I was doing well and to call them if I need them. Thank you!"
"I had oral surgery last year and several implants put in. Dr. Mark Hardison did my work and did a great job. I had work done elsewhere and Dr. Hardison fixed it for me. He and his staff are great people and I would recommend them to anyone needing any kind of oral or implant work done. My brother-in-law has down syndrome and they helped him where other dentists couldn't or wouldn't. Great people."
"This is the absolute BEST oral surgery office around. They have two locations. The office staff are very sweet girls and I love Dr. Mark Hardison. I have not had the pleasure of meeting The other doctor but I have heard great things. I had my wisdom teeth pulled here and I loved my experience so much I took my little brother there to have the same procedure. This Friday my husband had to have three teeth pulled and I obviously took him to see Dr. Hardison. MTOIS is the place to go!!"
"Dr. Mark did implants for me and they worked great for me. Good people!!"
"Dr. Warden is caring,warm,informative so I had no questions.. Dr. Warden has put in all 4 of my implants with no problems. I felt comfortable and knew I was in good hands during the whole process from beginning to end. I invite you to also go and get your implants done here by Dr. Warden and Dr. Hardison.. It’s a great choice to make over anything else."
"Loved Dr.Hardison and the wonderful office staff!!"
"The staff is great and I would so recommend Dr. Hardison & Dr. Warden"
"Their staff are so helpful and caring. Dr Mark and Dr Warden are pretty awesome as well. Just love the whole office!!!"
"Daughter had consult appointment yesterday and trying to book appointment with her work schedule Dr Mark said just come back at 1:15 today and he would take care of it - perfect and such a good doctor - thank you all"
"Dr. Hardison and staff in Murfreesboro and Smyrna are very professional and show much compassion for their patients!"
"Awesome staff! Dr. Hardison was GREAT! Very pleased with my visit here!"

"Dr. Hardison and his staff In Murfreesboro and Smyrna are the nicest people. I am so impressed with their kindness on the phone and in person. Keep up the good work!"
"I had my wisdom teeth removed through Dr. Hardison and Dr. Warden. They did a fantastic job. The process was easy and the doctors and staff put me at ease about the nerves of surgery. Everyone there is so nice and welcoming and made the overall experience a surprisingly pleasant one. I would highly recommend anyone needing oral or implant surgery to go see Dr. Hardison and Dr. Warden!"
"First of all, special thanks to Amanda for scheduling and getting me in at the last minute. She was very professional, patient and polite. I wasn't able to talk because of a prior extraction appointment at the Snodgrass King Dental Associates that didn't go well. The staff at this office is phenomenal. They are very professional and friendly at the same time. The balance is just right. Dental Assistant for Dr. Hardison was great. Very nice overall personality. Finally, Dr. Mark Hardison is very approachable and has a lot of knowledge when it comes to Oral Surgery. He was able to extract the broken root tip very quickly and explained everything in a very professional way before the surgery. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone that I know. Thank you everyone for taking care of me. Best, Sam Chatterjee Extraction date - 3/19/15"
