Don’t Let a Disgruntled Patient Ruin Your Reputation—Get Malpractice Help at SMLLP
Across the nation, dentists are dealing with a population who is getting more and
more frustrated with their healthcare. Rising premiums, declining benefits, and a general sense of unease means that patients feel like they are paying more and getting less. As a result, they can unconsciously transmit this frustration onto their healthcare providers. They need someone to blame, and while that can’t take it out on lawmakers or insurance moguls, they can punish their doctors and dentists for it. Both unfair and unintentional, discontented patients can be more likely to claim malpractice. They may perceive anyless-than-perfect outcome as negligence, and our “lawsuit happy” society encourages them to make their providers pay.
