Would you consider using a dentist if this was on their record?

Would you even consider at all using a cosmetic dentist that had this happen to him? I found this Summaries of Regents Actions on Professional Misconduct and Discipline (NY) on a dentist I was considering using. It said he did Action: Application for consent order granted; Penalty agreed upon: 24 month suspension, execution of last 18 months of suspension stayed, probation 3 years, 100 hours of public service, $30,000 fine. Summary: Licensee admitted to charge of delegating professional responsibilities to a person or persons when he knew or had reason to know that such person or persons was/were not qualified by licensure to perform the acts; submitting insurance claims for reimbursement for professional services performed by unlicensed persons; and having been convicted of attempted unauthorized practice of dentistry and/or dental hygiene. Im not sure what to do I just wish I had more details. The penalty seemed pretty stiff when compared to things other dentists did.

I would still see him. Just make sure that he is the one who sees you, rather then delegating the task (you) to someone lacking skill
