Q: I tried getting a refund for faulty implant and denture work I had done at a franchise dental office. The doctors told me they “do not own the business” and I must “deal with their corporation’s headquarters in another state”. What’s up with that? “Angry Al” in Boca
A: Let me begin by telling all the angry dentists who will read this and send me hate mail that I am only the messenger and will be merely quoting my source. At the last meeting of the county dental society, an expert in dental practice transitions, Dr. S. Auerbach stated: “ According to The Florida Department of Health, Board of Dentistry, Division of Medical Quality Assurance, statute 466.028(1)(h) states that ‘being employed by any corporation, organization, group, or person other than a dentist(s) is illegal in Florida. Three popular outfits are Gentle Dental, Aspen Dental and Affordable Dentures”.
