Complaints & Reports Outcomes

 

Case File: 150441

Decision Date:
October 26, 2016

Caution

As a result of its investigation of a formal complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Sandhu as follows:

•    Dr. Sandhu must be cognizant of the complexity of orthodontic cases at the outset of treatment and consult with/refer to a specialist on complex cases to ensure an optimal outcome for his patients.

•    Dr. Sandhu must adequately document treatment plans and treatment options for his patients, including in determining whether or not to treat a patient without extractions. 

•    Dr. Sandhu must give weight to the importance of pre-treatment informed consent discussions, in addition to having his patients sign consent documents, to ensure his patients are aware of his qualifications to carry out orthodontics as a general dentist. These discussions must be clearly documented in the patient record. 

•    When an unsatisfactory treatment result becomes evident, Dr. Sandhu must alter his treatment plan accordingly after consultation with the patient (and guardian), and refer to a specialist when necessary.

Case File: 170267

Decision Date:
June 04, 2019

Caution

As a result of a complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Sandhu as follows:

• Dr. Sandhu is cautioned that he should not charge patients for the restorative phase of treatment prior to treatment commencing. As Dr. Sandhu would be unaware of the lab costs ahead of treatment, he should only charge a patient for a restoration once he is invoiced from the lab for their service.
 
• Dr. Sandhu must consider a patient’s complete medical history when planning for, and carrying out treatment.  A patient’s unique medical history should factor into case selection and overall planning for the treatment. 
 
• Dr. Sandhu is cautioned regarding a change in treatment practitioner about which he did not advise his patient ahead of time. Dr. Sandhu should have given his patient adequate opportunity to consider her options and provide her consent to treatment with an alternative practitioner.

Specified Continuing Education or Remedial Program
