Suspicious dental practitioner

[Anonymous]

I know a dentist who may be engaging in some unlawful billing practices. I can't be certain but he has amassed a fortune in a fairly short period of time. He has no special skills, has not graduated from any noteworthy dental school or college, and his web site does not mention any information about billing practices, insurance, or finances. This is strange. His parents boast about his wealth all the time and say he has made enough money to buy a few malls now. I know dentists do well, but, sorry, not that well. I am a bit familiar with how dentists can engage in insurance fraud so I'm seeing red flags.

Is this enough to ask the dental board to investigate him? Would you?

Jealous much?

Is he your ex BF? Were you incorrectly billed? I fail to see why you'd go out of your way to report this? If he's doing what you think he is, then I would leave it up to karma to settle the score. When he's found out he will face financial ruin and jail time.

Ever think the parents may be lying? The dentist may be inilvolved in a side business? Etc.

Is there a place I can report you for mental illness?

DCUM is the first and only place I've ever read so many suspicious and angry posts about shady dentists. I had no idea that bias even existed. Maybe there's some truth to it; I don't know, but I have NEVER encountered it except here. Can anyone explain it to me?

Obviously rabid anti-dentites!

No idea what the deal is with op and this dude. But I work in insurance and dental fraud is a huge thing. They get paid to fix issues and thus get paid more the more dental work they find is needed. Since it's dental work, these guys/gals figure hey no harm.

Follow-up q: If you are suspicious of dentists, do you also resent fluoride in the water? And are you a member of the Tea Party?

I recently found out my dermatologist was involved in a
huge health care fraud scheme. He was indicted a few weeks ago and facing 60 counts of health care fraud....was also involved in other shady practices. It definitely happens.

People need to learn to mind their own business. Nobody likes a snitch OP.

Yes, I think that you should report him to the dental board. Tell the dental board that his parents say that he is really rich, and you don't think it's possible for him to have become really rich like that without engaging in fraud, so he must be engaging in fraud. The dental board will give your report the attention it deserves.

Off topic but knew a guy years ago who pointed to what tooth he needed extracted and the dentist pulled the wrong tooth. This isn't from you YouTube. I really knew these people.

Not OP, but I'm on my 5th dentist since moving here. I've been to some seriously shady dentists that upcharge, miss major cavities, and I had a root canal performed even though I didn't need one (verified by current, awesome dentist). So yeah there are lots of shady dentists here.

I see your comments all the time. Do you know how to write English? This sounds like what a first grader might say.
