ABC’S Good Morning America gathered a group of victims of Pennsylvania dentist Alireza Asgari for a report that aired Monday. Their stories were gruesome as one by one, they recounted the malpractice Asgari committed on their mouths.
Most of the procedures were not needed. They were performed for the sheer greed of bilking insurers.
Not all doctors and dentists who commit fraud also commit malpractice. But it stands to reason that a medical provider who cuts corners on the business side of a practice probably will cut corners elsewhere — and that includes the quality of care.
Watch the Good Morning America report. More information on Asgari, a 2005 inductee into the Insurance Fraud Hall of Shame, is available here.
