I recently paid 3.5K to an Orthodontist to return back 2 teeth after they were moved after an assault. After 7 months the treatment was over and the movement was minimal. I complained about the result achieved and the Orthodontist is telling me he was limited in what he could do. He showed me a computer model of what he could achieve which I was happy and proceeded but now gwe have got nowhere near that and he,s telling me was limited in what he could achieve..? It is to my mind complete robbery if he was limited in what could be achieved then he should never have taken my money.. Has anyone had a similar experience or know what course of action might be available to me..?? Thanks.. What do you have to lose? Put your story together and approach the Orthodontist and see what he will do. I would work towards a partial refund, the human body is not a perfect subject to work on. He did the work, maybe he should have gave warning half way through that things weren't progressing as he expected. Good attorney question, on what date did you realize the teeth were not responding as you had hoped. Is that the date you would have stopped the work? Maybe that's the date to prorate the charge. You could always get a second opinion. We went through braces with my daughter and then my son, with my son, I took the discount for full payment, bad choice, he moved for college and didn't keep up with all the retainer followups, I suspect I over paid, because of that. Another story about a professional; While at the dermatologist, I ask if there was a cream I could apply to a dark spot on my face, she whipped out her nitrogen bottle and gave it a two second spray. After seeing my dark spot a little darker and receiving a bill for $105 for the 2 second spray, I was not happy. I went in and complained, they removed they $105 charge. Another spot they sprayed on a couple of different occasions, the third time they said we need to do a biopsy. The results of the biopsy were that the area had been frozen. ;-[ I just went to the eye doctor yesterday, in the paper work, was a list of things you use your eyes for (?) And then the question, Are you having any difficulty with that? Then the question, would you like to see better without your glasses? Then the form ask, Place an X on the line that best describes your personality. Easy Going---------------------------------------------Perfectionist So, what's their plan? If you are to close to a perfectionist you don't get corrective lense surgery from them? Do you get extra paperwork to sign telling you the surgery may not give you 20/20 vision? Never mind they'll do that anyway. Mikek === Harry would never admit to this group that he almost got his teeth knocked out in a fight that he provoked. It would have been a whole lot safer for an old phart like him to have called 911. |
