After much discussion on what the heck happened to Tish Ballance and her Access West dental clinic that was supposed to open in Asheville, NC in July 2008 I thought it was time to just go find out for myself.
So I took off to Asheville to check things out. There is no sign of her Access West Clinic in Asheville and the number you find of the Internet is no longer in service, nor is there a current phone number for Access West, so hopefully we stopped that theivin dentist in Asheville.
However and this is a big however! She is opening up a clinic in Waynesville, NC about 25 miles northwest of Asheville close to Maggie Valley and Cherokee, NC. It's a beautiful little town nestled at the foot of the mountains. A good place for a crook to hide out.
Her new clinic's name is Carolina West Dental Clinic and will be located in Waynesville Plaza shopping center in the old Family Dollar building. It appeared the plumbing is in for all the dental stations but not one stud has been put up in the huge building.
I asked the construction guys about the place and they directed me across the parking lot to a small tan building housing a construction company's office who builds log home among other things.
I spoke with the gentlemen in the office and they told me the place should be ready to open at the end of October, so we still have some time left to stop this clinic from opening as well.
Evidently times are hard for Tish as her contractor seems to be also acting as her human resources person. I say this since I presented my self as looking for a job and the new clinic and he insisted that I could get my resume together and leave it with him and he would see to it that it got to the right person.
But there seems to be no sign of her greed little hands in Asheville unless she used some other name to open her clinic other than Access West or Carolina West Dental.
It's time we warn the good citizens of Waynesville what kind of person is about to start treating the children in this small quaint town.

Debbie,
I am very worried about this dentist. I live in Waynesville and they are opening Oct. 27th. I had set up appointments for my two kids for that day. I was very excited about actually finding a dentist to take our insurance. When I got home I decided to google her name and was amzed what came up! How can she still be practicing with everythig she has been involved with? I want to call the local paper and see if they'll run something on her so she doesn't hurt any kids here! Thank you to everyone for all the insight on these thieves.
