I had high hopes for Vargas Dental Associates and invested thousands of dollars in dental work with them earlier this year, including what was supposed to be a comprehensive treatment plan. One of the key procedures included a crown for a tooth they said was cracked, which I told them to hold off on. I also asked about completing an existing dental implant that had already been placed by another dentist. In January 2025, I was told they would need to order the crown for the implant and that it would take a few months to come in. I waited patiently but never received a call or update.

When I followed up today, I was shocked to hear them say I had told them not to contact me—which is completely untrue. Even more frustrating, they then informed me that they cannot complete the implant procedure at all. I feel misled and incredibly disappointed. For months, I believed I had a path forward to finish the work based on their guidance. Instead, I was left in the dark and now need to start over with a new provider.

Communication and transparency are critical when patients are making significant health and financial decisions. Unfortunately, that was lacking here.

Really kind humans in the office! Every time I go I feel so taken care of. Dr Vargas has a great sense of humor and even though everyone dreads going to the dentist, I really enjoy my time there! My hygienist is so sweet and personable always giving 110% to my health and smile. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I had a wonderful experience! The process was easy and everything was explained along the way. My questions were answered and I felt really good about the service. After over 10 years with my old dentist who retired about a year or two ago. I found it a challenge to replace him. I’m happy to say that this is a good fit. Thanks Vargas Dental!

I’ve been a patient at this office since before Dr. Vargas took over and have seen many dentists come and go. Despite multiple uncomfortable interactions with Dr. McEnroe over the years, I never made a formal complaint—just asked to have my account noted not to be scheduled with her. At a recent appointment, I had no choice but to see her again since Dr.

Vargas was out. When things didn’t go well, I calmly asked to speak with her to share how her attitude has made me feel as a long-time, paying patient. No yelling or cursing—just expressing myself respectfully. She acted shocked, interrupted me, and didn’t take ownership. A few days later, I received both an email and a letter saying they would no longer provide care, claiming the relationship was no longer “conducive to a congenial atmosphere.

” Sadly, it seems this is how they respond when patients speak up—something I’ve since noticed mentioned in other reviews. Also worth noting: after every appointment, they push hard via email for Google and Facebook reviews, which may explain why their Google rating is high, while their Yelp page tells a very different story.
