Work he preformed includes: a completion of an implant, crowns, extraction and a bridge. After being told my portion of the balance after insurance, I paid the amount. After the work was completed and insurance paid their portion, I questioned the overage that was due back to me. I have been told by the new management company; this is not their responsibility. I am getting NO satisfaction from the previous management. Two issues are important in my case to bring transparency to the legal system and potential consumers; the issues include insurance fraud and altering patient accounts to indicate a lack of credit owed. I am sharing my experience so that people will be able to make an educated choice when choosing a dentist.

As to responsibility being transferred to the NEW owner. Depending on how they bought the business they probably do not owe any past debts.
Insurance fraud, if, you were not a part of this CRIME perhaps you should contact the insurance company.
If, nothing else the insurance company could/should advise you how to proceed.
Altering patient accounts? You should have some paperwork showing what you owe and what you paid cancelled check? credit card bill?
If, you paid by credit card and you file a dispute, the credit card company will charge back the account to which you paid and forward your written claim.
