I seldom tire of the spin found in legal pleading between owner dentists the illegal dental management companies such as CSHM but honestly it’s getting old.
Now that Dr. Jodi Kuhn purchased her clinics again and seems to have continued with business as usual in Colorado. Another turd has been thrown in the CSHM punchbowl by “owner dentist” Dr. James Mann in Reno, Nevada. Dr. Mann was hired in October 2, 2006 and I’m positive he can be located as an employee of one of CSHM entities if someone looked.
Dr. Mann filed suit against CSHM in May 2014. The case was filed in Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada-Washoe County. In like fashion, CSHM has filed a Complaint against Dr. Mann and Small Smiles Reno and asked for a Temporary Restraining Order. This was filed filed in Davidson County Tennessee Court on July 22, 2014.
In Dr. Mann’s lawsuit he claims he owns the Small Smiles clinic and is suddenly—after just shy of 8 years of employment—”concerned that CSHM’s heavy-handed control of Small Smiles is violating Nevada’s laws and regulations.”
I find It laughable that Dr. Mann is just now “concerned”. The public and government agencies have been concerned since 2004! How does Dr. Mann explain this?
Mann claims despite all the name changes—FORBA, Church Street Health Management, CSHM, etc.— many of the same key employees have remained as has their illegal business practices. (Well, of course, thorn is a thorn by any other name.)
Mann says, “CHSM has continued Church Street’s practices” and “Indeed, many of the personnel associated with Church Street continued to work for CSHM”
He claims:
- Dictated the hours that Dr. Mann and Small Smiles should be open for business.
- Imposed pressure on Dr. Mann and Small Smiles to schedule more patients.
- Decided which equipment Dr. Mann could purchase for Small Smiles
- Insisted on certain dental procedures over others
- Set. Dr. Mann’s compensation.
Here is a statement that raises HUGE red flags and give me great concern:
