24. Here's the problem...
Thu Sep 13, 2012, 12:01 AM
Sep 2012

I have my child's x-rays. I am sure that her current dentist has the dental records from the
dishonest dentist. However, I do not know if those records contain the dishonest dentist's
incorrect diagnosis. She verbally told me that my child had cavities. I do not know if she wrote
it in her file.

Therefore, I would have no proof. No evidence of my assertions. And this happened more than five years ago.

I hesitate to post her name, because I lack proof.

I do feel terrible about this. I feel that this dentist doesn't deserve to practice. She's a total fake. I do tell my friends about our experience. I will not hide what happened. However, publishing her name is probably not in my best interest.

If anyone else does come forward, I will be on it. I will back up anyone who comes forward.

I feel that I have to give myself points for listening to my gut and getting my children to safety. Always trust your motherly instincts and intuition--and that little voice that tells you that something is off. I will always regret not coming forward at the time, but it is what it is. Karma will come around for this dentist someday, I imagine.
