Here are the answers to your questions:
He hid in his house. He became a recluse; a hermit. He had no teeth. He was ashamed to go outside because people thought he was a freak.

The dental implant being in the sinus was confirmed with x-rays and CT scan. This wasn’t opinion; it was FACT.

Thanks for watching the video and for taking the time to comment.

what happened to the patient? what do you mean ‘ he hides in the house’? implant in the sinus? was that really confirmed or was that just some dentist’s opinion? Without ct scan, you really don’t know if it’s really into the sinus or not.

Sorry, I should have specified that my last comment was directed at ghexhorter. I agree with you in full about the need to make people aware that there are these kinds of practitioners out there, and that satisfactory resolution can be arrived at.

On the other hand I think it is a terrible attitude to blame the patient as ghexhorter did, because it downplays and almost excuses the misconduct of this particular dentist.

Having said that, great video keep up the good work

While we expect and hope that the doctor or dentist will do the right thing, and know what the right thing is, unfortunately there are some physicians in practice today who don’t. My goal in creating these videos is to educate a viewer about how lawsuits work in New York, as well as give you an insight into some recent cases that I’ve handled.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment.

Wow, unless you yourself have been to medical/dental school you are going to assume that the doctor know what he is doing and is acting in your best interest.
I can wait until something like this happens to you and you are the “un-informed idiot”

You have to see a specialist for this type of work not a general dentist who is cheaper but does not have nearly the same training. oral surgeon (most training) then a periodontist second

OUCH!!

Still — I’d like to see competition on prices for DDS and even MDs.

But the big moral of the story — BRUSH YOUR TEETH RELIGIOUSLY growing up.

You are correct. I am just a lawyer who has been in practice handling medical malpractice and accident cases for over 21 years. I am not a doctor and never claimed to be.
Having handled many, many different types of malpractice cases I have learned much medicine from my clients and my medical experts. This video describes a horrible experience that my client suffered.
