Finally authorities are taking notice and beginning to prosecute Medicaid fraud in Dentisrty. I suspect headlines such as the MassHealth fraud to only increase, to my utter delight. Innocent children are being abused by the thousand in order to line the pockets of the elite. Shameful! Illegal! Dental boards r ignoring their own rules and regulations and allowing this corruption. See " casing in by cashing out".

2010-12-21T09:54:33.066-08:00

I have had a terrible experience with a heartland office. I went in for reasonable care and ended up with a dangerous situation. I was told I had broken my tooth when I thought I needed a filling replaced. The "dentist" and I use the term loosely, quickly charged me and sent me out the door with a temporary crown that did not fit as it came off less than 3 hrs later. I choked terribly and swallowed it. I had to contact my physician and then go directly back to the hearland office and have another temporary put on. I was in and out in 20 minutes with something that did not fit and was loose and painful. Thankfully after about 2 weeks of continued discomfort I was able to contact and see a ethical dentist who saw the problem right away. It was plain to see right away there was a large cavity under this thing that was so large it went very close to the nerve. The xrays were also very clear..it was a huge problem. The heartland dentist had simpley filed down to the gum and stuck a temporary crown on without any packing at all. She then charged me about 1,200.00 for the mess. I have contacted our insurance company. We have had at least 4 calls from this dentist to our home personally, not to see about my condition but about wanting money and not wanting another dentist to treat the tooth. It is very simple to see why she has now. She knew it was obvious that she did not perform the care I paid for and that she had put me in danger of great harm. Unfortunatly I paid the estimated deductable in advance. I am now struggling to get that amount refunded.
Personally I live my life a a christian and I will conduct myself responsibly and honesty. But I will not be abused. This is a case of right is right and wrong is terribly wrong. I will file as many complaints as possible, in as many places as possible. I am very grateful for those professionals out there who do not sell themselves out. It is obvious that unfortunatly I was almost a victim of one of the sellouts.

Thanks for the information..
I have seen that vitamin D and cholesterol both have the same precursor. I was wondering if your body is not converting the 7-dehydrocholesterol into vitamin D due to lack of UV light, would any excess then be turned into more cholesterol therefore increasing your cholesterol levels?

2010-12-14T09:05:55.974-08:00

I was terminated for not calling my practice administrator on my approved leave of absence...or at least that is what they told me...I have an opinion on why I was fired it happened after it was brought to my attention that the dentist was charting simple extractions as surgical. I was appalled..I was always told to charge out what is written in the chart (I was a business assistant) when I told my practice administrator what I had found out, I was fired a week later, the morning I came back from my time off.

It seems like it would be pretty difficult to reach 4,000 IUs! I feel like I never get enough, but maybe some people who take a lot of supplements might reach that ceiling a little easier.

Yes! It can. You never want to overly indulge on anything, even if it's healthy.

By the way... is that Tiger Woods in the photograph? Haha!

I am a former HDC employee. I worked for a doctor that has a story similar to yours. He was not going to compromise his ethics and morals to say "Yes" to his patients and treatment plan based on dollars! His demise with Heartland was when he reported an associate doctor for unethical behavior. He was paid back by being fired because he wasn't in "alignment" with HDC systems. This was probably the best thing that could happen to him. The associate still works for Heartland. As for me, I also reported him on numerous occasions but to no avail. I was told by my Practice Admin. that "if I wanted to keep my job, off the record, when you work for a big company like Heartland to keep my mouth shut". She even "swore on her dead fathers grave" that she believed me but there was nothing she could do about! I too have had some threatening letters from Mr. Thompson. Just another bullying tactic in my opinion. Without seeking legal counsel, at the very least, former HDC doctors and employees should report Heartland to their local board and tell anyone that will listen about them!

I used this mouth wash for a long time. Its not just cancer that makes it a bad idea though. It actually leaves your mouth more vulnerable to all sorts of disease because it dries it out so much.

2010-07-06T05:22:12.442-07:00

Hey, another ex-Heartland doctor. I would to put out a request to all ex-heartland doctors. If each one of us would go to our dental school we graduated from and share our experiences with them, we could deter other new doctors from getting used by HDC. If you have contracts, your school would love to see those as well. For HDC to thrive, they must hire many new doctors each year. Let's hit them where it hurts!

I will not cut corners and outsource my lab work to China. Even though the CDC says the lead levels are "highly unlikely" health risk, I will not take the chance.
