On 29MAY20 I went to a local dentist that is at present contracted with the Walla Walla, WA VA for treatment of a root-canal that had cracked. The dentist decided extraction was the only option and proceeded to extract the tooth like he bet someone he could do it in under a minute.
The results were he broke off the crown on the adjacent tooth. Then dropped me as a patient, to avoid fixing what he broke! I sued him for his actions, and while in court the dentist produced a ‘Consent for oral surgery’ form, a form I had never seen.
The Judge asked me if the defendant had ever informed me that damage to adjacent teeth was a possibility, either verbally or in writing? I said no. He then asked me if that was my signature on the consent form? I began examining the form when the judge told me the signature was on the next page. I turned the page and looked for my signature, but where it was suppose to be there was just a squiggly line.
So I responded to the judge “No I don’t see my signature on this from”
The moment that the word no left my lips, the defendant screamed out in court “ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF BRINGING A FORGED DOCUMENT INTO COURT?” To which I responded “Right now I’m just stating that my signature is not on this form”
I then pointed out to the judge that my actual signature was on one of the forms I had already given him, and he could see it for himself that it did not resemble the signature on the consent form. The judge then asked me to sign a piece of paper right in front of him, so I did.
The judge then stated that the signature on the consent form did not match my signature, then the judge inexplicably excepted the document as genuine!
 During this trial, the defendant,  portrayed himself as an altruistic person who performed these dental procedures as an act of charity, and stated “I have not yet been paid anything from the VA, for the procedure in question!”
I found his altruistic façade Disturbing, because during the mediation, I pointed out that in our area there are about 140 dentists, and only 5 of them had been awarded contracts with the VA. I told him that servicing Veterans should be an honor and a privilege! The defendant laughed in my face!
Yesterday at the request of the VA, the dentist’s office email me a statement from their records that showed that the dentist was paid for that procedure eight months prior to the court date! Proving he was willing to commit perjury in court, rather than take responsibility for his own actions.
Two days ago I filed criminal charges with the Kennewick Police Department for forgery, fraud, Mail fraud, and defrauding a government agency (VA)
Since the prosecutor has not decided whether he will follow through with the charges, I have withheld the name of the dentist and dental office on this post. I will however provide that information in DM for anyone that wishes to know.
If you feel as strongly as I do that this dentist should answer for the many crimes he committed please don’t hesitate to contact the prosecutors office in Benton County Washington at (509)786-5621 and let them know how you feel.
Case number:21-15631
