Dear Abbeville Dentistry,

It truly pains me to be in pain, you caused that.

Due to you refusing to help me, even after the results from the TSBDE (you know the investigative board that found the care below basic dental standards and whom your dentist agreed to settle with,) you refused to help me. 

Please remember I specifically gave the opportunity to just cover the expenses incurred and have y’all help isolate how to fix my pain. I was thinking giving you a range would allow the minimum of the range and an apology; that would have satisfied me, gas and acknowledgement of the mistakes.

Instead, y’all ignored my request and hired lawyers to stop it from making it to where I could share my concerns with a judge. Albeit, I agree, I was allowing the judge to have more say in the money I might be awarded by increasing the range, but honestly I couldn’t believe your dentist had done this to multiple other people in the past and you were still allowing it.

It’s mind boggling to me that y’all can just withhold my records.

I did find it amusing you referenced abatement as you refused to provide the documents to me that would’ve shown that was an option.

I just want to share what y’all did to me and that the TSBDE is the one who determined how bad it was; that the dentist agreed to settle with them and y’all still refused to help me.

I truly believe y’all were shoving as many people through that dental chair as you could get money from; it has cost me thousands and pain. 

I wish you would have helped me when your dentist harmed me instead of covering for them.  Or I wish we could have come to an agreement on the proper way to correct Dr. Ericson’s mistakes. Like, I literally came back to y’all and you told me how abscessed it was and there were hundreds of millions of bacteria in my mouth. Instead of helping me you referred me out and refused to even give me my medical records. 

Sadly, you thought it would be a better investment to hire lawyers to silence me from the judge. Abbeville Dentistry, I hope you are able to figure out how to get your dentist with a history of not following basic dental standards to follow them; I hope you increase your standards to ensure that your dentists meet basic dental standards on every patient, because I know first hand the pain, time, effort and costs that come with correcting their mistakes.

With regards,

Devin
