About Dr. Enrique G. Vargas, DMD
Dr. Vargas is noted for telling patients when braces aren't needed rather than recommending treatment for its own sake, treating both children and adults.
Reviews describe Dr. Vargas as straightforward about whether treatment is actually necessary, in one case referring a patient to a periodontist instead of moving straight to braces. Several families with multiple children in treatment mention consultations that laid out options and payment plans clearly, and adult braces patients are represented alongside younger ones.

Been seeing Dr. Vargas for some time for my son and his braces. He’s so friendly and caring. His staff is amazing and always so accommodating and friendly. They really are like family here. I highly recommend them to any family looking for orthodontic care for their children! You won’t regret it!
My daughter got braces here couple months ago we will be going for a while still. The staff are absolutely wonderful and for the dentist he is great and super great with young generation. They work with your budget and are really just amazing!! Thank you guys so much!!
Receptionist very rude called because my kids need there braces removed. She said the need an evaluation and then the dr will decide to remove them or not I asked what does that mean she responded “exactly what I just said.” At 9:30 in the morning Receiving this kind of customer service it’s just unnecessary I have two children to have braces and needed a doctor that they could continue going to this will not be the doctor of my choice if they treat me this way over the phone what can I expect for my children
He has a very calm and soothing presence, and you can tell he knows his field extremely well. He was honest with me and told me I didn't need orthodontic treatment, and that was when it was clear he had my best interest at heart, not money. He even spoke very highly of the other orthodontists in town, which speaks to his ethics and integrity. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Vargas is the best orthodontist I’ve ever met and one of the best and most honest healthcare providers ever. He addressed all my concern and explained things in a way I could understand. He could have easily told me I needed braces but he took my dental history, examined me, and looked at the dental indications for braces. He decided it was best for my dental health to refer me on to a periodontist. I will recommend Dr. Vargas to all my friends and family!
