TALLAHASSEE — President Donald Trump’s personal dentist went before the state licensing board on Friday and specifically highlighted his friendship with the president in a bid to obtain permission to set up shop in Florida, according to three people present at the meeting.

Dr. Albert Hazzouri ultimately withdrew his licensing application after receiving significant pushback from the Florida Board of Dentistry, which was concerned that he failed to properly complete the application, a state law requirement.

Missing were scores for a written and clinical exam, official transcripts and CPR certification, according to a Feb. 26 letter from Florida Department of Health Executive Director Jennifer Wenhold. “Typically, when applications are before the Board for consideration, it helps to have a complete application so that all credentials can be reviewed,” she wrote.

At Friday’s board meeting, Hazzouri stressed his personal relationship with Trump, according to three people who attended the meeting but did not want to be identified for fear of retribution.

"This guy was so arrogant. He was saying you should break all the rules and make an exception for me,” said one attendee.

1. He obviously lied about wanting to work in an underserved area.

At Friday’s meeting, the board ultimately suggested he go that route and apply for a limited-access license where a dentist can more easily get established if they practice in an underserved area. Such an area exists nearby Mar-a-Largo outside Palm Beach.

Hazzouri instead chose to withdraw his application.

11. Also...

You don't waltz into Florida as a dentist. They have their own exams and try to limit those emigrating for retirement and part time practice.
