Palm Beach County, Fla. — Ysmel Cruz and his wife, Evelyn Cruz, have been arrested in connection with a multi-million dollar dental fraud operation that defrauded dozens of patients across South Florida. The couple allegedly owned several dental practices, including the Dental Specialists of Boynton Beach.
According to the arrest report, the Cruz couple has been engaging in fraudulent activities since 2012. They are accused of filing inflated claims for dental work that was often never performed.

The couple’s arrest follows an investigation into their widespread fraudulent activities, which have affected numerous individuals in the region. The charges against them include multiple counts of fraud, and they are currently being held in custody. Authorities have promised further investigation to uncover the full extent of the scam.
As the case progresses, patients who believe they may have been victims of this fraud are encouraged to come forward. The Cruz couple faces serious legal consequences as the investigation continues.
