I'm in Los Angeles, California, and a thread was recently started on our forum:where a member was critical of the excessive treatment they were told they required from a local dentist. They also posted the name of the dental location.
Not long after, a number of members began responding with their experiences of the same and other dentists.
As you can see the title of the thread/first post is "Local Dentist is a crook! beware". I also have no way of knowing if the treatment was actually required or not.
The poster does say that they are "...in the process of filing a grievance with the ADA."
In the four days or so since the thread started, I have not yet received any complaints from any of the dentists mentioned in the posts.
When members do sign up to our forum they are presented with the default vBulletin "Forum Rules" regarding the forum owners not being responsible for contents of posts, we can edit/delete posts at any time etc.
Being concerned about the validity of the claim, and any possible future repercussions, does anybody have any advice on what I should do regarding this post, as in any editing of it, and/or have you been faced with a similar situation in the past?
