No he's not. I simply don't believe it is good for our profession to throw others under the bus. You obviously don't mind though, rock on!!!

I believe in telling the truth. That's where we differ. Sweeping crap under the rug only contributes to the problem. Calling out the bad dentists isn't throwing anyone under the bus except the bad dentists. And making people aware of them helps to weed them out.

Tell us where you went to dental school.

I've said it before - LSU.

I agree with this, but some people think intra oral cameras are just a tool to make money.

Bad dentists are going to use any means necessary to screw people, and they don't need a camera to do it. Used properly, it is one of the most beneficial tools in helping patients understand their oral health.

It's too bad you don't practice anymore, you could be a dental superhero to defend the world against sleazy dentists.

If it were up to me, I would be - but I can't control my health. After Katrina, I still had patients coming from as far as Florida and Texas to see me on a regular basis. Trust me when I say that my patients miss me. You won't find a more honest dentist.
