Was led to beleive that This dentist was working with a top UCLA cosmetic dentist (Wayland)I found reserching the web. He would use Schwarcz's office and Scwarcz would handle basic restoration and Wayland would do cosmetic work. Instead Scwarcz proposed to do everything himself (or so said his secretary who read the $43,000 proposal (Schwarcz was too overbooked to come into my meeting) incl. implants, oral surgery, endodontry, etc AND all the cosmetic work. This was complete change of my understanding in my first and only meeting with Dr. Wayland. Wayland contracts with Schwarcz and, apparently, many, many other bay area dentists. Wayland advertises and secures the patients who trhink they'll be getting his cosmetic work but then he hands patients completely off to the other satellite offices under his "Ultimate Smiles" group. Seems very odd. I stopped before work would begin since Schwarcz was too busy to meet and discuss what seemed not to be a misunderstanding but their usual practice/system.
