Question:
Where do I file/report a complaint for a US dentist online?
i hate this dentist! so that the whole world will know the scam that they impose on patients - always saying they can't contact the insurance company so you're forced to pay in full, then when you claim for insurance refund they make you wait forever? and sometimes you never get your money back?

I learned that I'm not the only one who was told that this dental clinic can't contact the insurance, among a lot more others. And they don't initiate the call to advise you of a refund. So if you're the forgetful or lazy type, it's frustrating. Does that not count in good dental practice?
Answers:
Go to the state board for whatever state you reside in...For example, in Texas, it's the TSBDE...Texas State Board of Dental Examiners, I believe.
You should file a complaint against the dentist in order to be sure that the Board is aware of the problem. Far too often, people just change dentists, and the doctor in the wrong continues to practice with no action taken against him/her.
You can e-mail me if you have a problem filing, I can always double-check with my boss. I worked in an office with a bad dentist; I have a "thing" against those who make my job harder or my profession look bad!
