Peter Ceylon Farmer, DDS, MD

I was a member of Blue Shield’s HMO plan of California and the dentist provided to me was a Peter Ceylon Farmer, DDS MD in Daly City, and I would not recommend this dental group to my worst enemy.
All seemed fine until after the x-​rays when I was told that I had $ 8000 + worth of dental work needed, and even though I had not been to a dentist in a long time, I had never received such an expensive quote; the teeth cleaning was going to cost $ 600 and the mouth guard was $ 700 and they basically wanted to replace every filling!
Plus their «bedside manner» made me feel very uncomfortable; they were super pushy and arrogant. While they tried to pressure me to commit, I declined any appointments and decided to get a second opinion.
I received my second opinion by a highly recommended dentist and what a difference. My teeth were cleaned the day of my appointment (by the dentist) and the x-​rays showed absolutely no problems. Their only concern was teeth grinding, so the dentist suggested a mouth guard at the price of $ 450! The entire visit only cost $ 350 (x-​rays and cleaning…)
What a difference to my pocket book and well-​being.
However, Peter Ceylon Farmer, DDS MD, are only out for the money, and I can only imagine how many other patients Peter Ceylon Farmer has swindled with unnecessary services. This is exactly the type of corruption that is causing insurance services to be so expensive.
