Smile For Life Dental Care

Brandon Ryan

Dr English is not an honest Dentist. He continually pushes for treatment that is expensive, not covered by insurance and unnecessary. Multiple times he pushed my family members and I into getting crowns out on teeth that upon getting a second opinion on, was ruled completely unnecessary. He falsely diagnosed cavities as well. With everyone I know personally who has been in his office and then received a second opinion none had the cavities he diagnosed.

He charged my wife for services that he did not perform. His office also billed me for services that did not occur as well as double bill for services that were performed. This has not been a one time offense. I would recommend everyone in his office go get a second opinion. Everything they preach is about “prevention” and they are very forward acknowledging that the recommendations provided are expensive and they are more than willing to schedule far out in the future so it can seem more affordable.

This is how they rope people into paying for expensive unnecessary procedures and treatment. They also leave patients who speak English as a second language confused and without explanations for decisions made in their behalf without their consent. I’m incredibly disappointed with this office and I only wish to warn people about the dishonesty they will likely encounter in this office. I would give 0 stars if possible.

The best dental experience I've had. Everyone was super friendly and made it comfortable through the whole process. Recommend them to anyone needing dental service.

Staff is amazing and so kind. I’ve never had an initial exam with X-rays where I was told it’d be $90 plus after insurance. If I wanted mouth exam for CA, it is another $40!! Dr. Is kind but.

says almost every tooth, even those with caps and root canals, needs work. This would run in the thousands!! I’ve been to dentist at least every 6 months and was never told this. I’m just not willing to do all this.

First time going and the staff were friendly and very professional. Doctor was personable and made me feel comfortable. Leaving with a positive opinion even after getting a root canal! After moving here I finally found a dentist I feel I can trust and actually like. Will definitely be taking the family for all our dental needs!
