I am worthless as proven by the way my life was destroyed by dentists, PMI/Delta Dental, and the legal system of attorneys in the state of Florida.
Full details to a certain point (when I gave up) are on my website www.socialexperiment.info where I tried to get help from others in society, but was ignored except for hate emails saying I was a scam. www.dentalwarning.info.
After Dr. Larry Dunford of Cape Coral bonded my front top four teeth and my bottom two front teeth together into one large tooth, Dr. Jeffrey Rubin, then of Fort Myers, pulled the bottom two teeth and installed a bridge. He did this in ONE visit with no molds, no temp bridge, nothing. The bridge was pre-made and too large for my mouth. The visit took 6 hours. He filed down my top front teeth to try to get the bridge to fit my mouth, but ended up saying he would just crown them so they would come out and over the bridge. I was in severe pain as the bridge did not allow my mouth to close and was loose. He kept giving me pain medication to the point that I suffered kidney failure and ended up in the hospital for almost a month on dialysis. The insurance company, PMI/Delta Dental backed Rubin and refused to allow me treatment or to replace the bridge unless one of their network dentists agreed. Each one THEY SENT ME TO said it was fine, though their assistants were always shocked at the appearance and how loose it was (they couldn't do x-rays because I couldn't bite). Then I went to one of their dentists under my middle name and saying I had no insurance. The dentist immediately said the bridge was too large and mobile and had to come out. THEN PMI/Delta Dental agreed I could get it replaced and tried to get me to sign an agreement for an amount of money if I said I would never speak of this again. I refused to sign. When the bridge was finally removed, it was seen that the two anchor teeth Rubin had prepped were less than 1/4 an inch long and thin as a needle. They had to be removed. The year and half with that bridge also caused ALL of the bone under that area to deteriorate. I had to undergo a painful bone grafting that cost a lot and did not take. I now ive in severe pain 24/7, have my front top four teeth veneered for appearance, though I cannot bite with them, have 4 bottom front teeth missing and am about to lose the next two, have a partial in the front that falls out and cannot cover the entire bone loss, so I cannot eat or drink without that coming under the partial and spilling out. I tried throughout this to get an attorney but they all told me Florida law made it too expensive. Now the 2 year limit is gone so I can never sue. I have spent over $50,000 on all of this, lost my job, cannot work due to the pain, do not qualify for any disability, have no insurance at all now, and am about to lose my home.
I tried everything to help myself and to warn others, but nothing was ever done. I cannot live like this any more, so I'm just trying to leave behind some part of my pain to warn others so they don't trust dentists. Most are ONLY out for money. And in Florida, they know they have little to worry about with lawsuits - though Dr. Rubin had settled countless lawsuits in the past and received many disciplinary actions from the Board of Health.
I can only thank the Lord that I am not a violent person or these people would be dead if this had happened to many other types of people. Instead, they have killed me.
As I see no way of fixing my pain, no way of restoring my life, I can only have the strength to not suffer any more.
I don't wish this upon anyone. In 3 years I went from being successful after years of hard work, to having nothing. No one should think that a toothache killed me. Dr. Jeffrey Rubin killed me. So did Delta Dental and PMI and they are hurting others as evident by the other complaints and stories out there about them.
Goodbye to you all and I do pray you get help before your life ends like mine.
