Settlement Reached with Defunct Woodbury Dental Clinic
Consumers who used the now-closed Woodbury Dental Arts clinic can claim refunds for fees paid for services that were never delivered. The settlement, reached between Attorney General Keith Ellison and Woodbury Dental Arts, allows affected patients to seek compensation through the Consumer Protection Restitution Account managed by the Attorney General’s Office.
The Attorney General’s office is currently identifying eligible patients and will notify those who may claim refunds.
“All too often, when we catch scammers, they don’t have money left to pay back the people they cheated,” said Attorney General Ellison. “That almost happened when Woodbury Dental Arts abruptly closed up shop and declared bankruptcy after accepting down payments for costly dental procedures they would never provide. I’m glad we can compensate those Minnesotans who lost so much when Woodbury Dental Arts shut its doors.”
