Park West Dental; Padula ring any bells?!

Will this never end. Is this horrible family and their offspring going to spread their deceit, fraud and mistreatment of children for ever more. We are now into the 3rd generation with no end in sight. Dr. Ed DeRose and his wife, Neta's neice, Juliann and her husband are now dipping her hand in the medicaid pan.

There's a new DeRose related dental office opening in Pueblo, and yes, they take Medicaid. Awe, hell you follow the links and check it out, I've got a headache! Don't forget the Secretary of State site to search for the corporation papers, and check out the property and who owns it. And note in all your looking around, you'll see N. Grand Street, Pueblo, Colorado! Let me save you a bit of trouble. Click here, and as we are so accustom to finding, Dan DeRose's name it's associated with 409 N. Grand Pueblo, Colorado!! No big surprise there! Oh, there is another company on the horizon...I'll talk about it later. I have come to loath these people, every last one of them.

Just how damn many generations of DeRose and Padula's are citizens going to have to suffer through. Will one of you PLEASE get fixed and stop procreating!!!

Have any of you thought about a new line of work, honestly you're wearing this dentist thing out! Have you ever thought about Park Ranger or something???

Ear, Nose and Throat; But Not Your Eyes or Teeth

I'm looking for an answer as to why a person's mouth, specifically their teeth and a person's eyes are treated more like your car than part of your body. So much so, that separate insurance is needed to cover the needed treatment.

I understand the need for specialist in those areas of the body, but I consider the care and treatment delivered to the teeth and the eyes to be no more or less important than to a person's finger, knee or ear.

Speaking of ear, many times it is difficult to determine an earache from a toothache. I'm sure this has happened to many here. At what point in medical history did this separation take place, and why?

Find Dentists Who Accept Medicaid In Your State At Insure Kids Now Website

Finally there is a .gov website that I personally find useful. I'm sure many parents can as well.

It's called Insure Kids Now (insurkidsnow.gov). Wonderfully designed to find SCHIP health or dental providers for children. You can find providers, again, be it health or dental, in all states. It's searchable by your address, by your plan, provider and more.

It's super easy to navigate and extremely user friendly.

If you happen to be searching for a dental provider for instance NOT associated with FORBA's Small Smiles Clinics, then search for a provider and check the name of the dentist against the address of any of these places in your area; Small Smiles, Children's Medicaid Dental, Oklahoma Smiles, Indian Springs Dental, or Wild Smiles

You can also check the address of Kool Smiles, Ocean Dental or Adventure Dental and Vision.

I think parents will find there are several dental providers in their area who will accept Medicaid without resorting to taking your child to a so called 'dental mill'.

Heartland Dental Invades Nevada and Kansas

Heartland Dental invades Kansas and Nevada. Kansas isn't paying attention to who it lets practice dentistry I see. Corporate dentistry is spread like the swine flu these days. The places do NOT deliver the care and treatment you are used to receiving from you local family dentist. Please stay away from them and do your homework before making that appointment. A simple google search for complaints will do the trick.

Here is the latest breaking news Heartland has put out. Take it as a warning.

From Hartford, CT to Sante Fe, NM-FORBA looking for dentists to work in their Small Smiles clinics

Appears Jenna Kochenberger is on the prowl for dentists as well. Here is an ad from Indeed.com
Jenna and Jacob Kochenberger from Pueblo, CO are hubby and wife. Wonder if they get paid by the 'head'? Wonder what kind of Dentist's their looking for, 'lead' dentists, 'associate' dentists, or dentists who will lend them their licenses and so FORBA can call them 'owner' dentists. Like Dr. Jodi Kuhn. I think her name is on the individual clinic LLC state filings in Ohio and Kentucky. Problem is Kentucky statues say a dentist can only 'own' three clinics and I do believe they have to actually practice in those clinics. Wonder how Jodi does that?

FORBA Looking for Dentists in the Dothan and Montgomery Alabama Clinics

FORBA looking for dentists for it's Alabama clinics. YIKES! Wonder what has happened to:

Dr. Michelle Nicole Dandridge

Dr. Sabrina Lynn Hinton

Dr. Khaleda Imroz

Dr. Kevin Frank Kingry

Dr. Amber Tennile Bishop

Dr. Katherine Wood Merrill

Dr. Nzingha Harris Stovall

Dr. Keri P Turk

Dr. Adra Gibson Washington

Maybe they have moved on. I'm sure if they aren't with FORBA's Small Smiles clinics any longer, I'll hear from them.

All the above have current licenses in Alabama except Dr. Khaleda Imroz. I guess that's because Dr. Imroz is in Colorado, at 415 N. Grand Street. See Links below. I've checked dental licenses for Dr. Khaleda Imroz in Alabama and Colorado and they are none existent. I always worry when I see the same dentist name in several states. For example, Dr. Randall Ellis, DDS, he has current licenses in more states than I've got fingers.

They're offering you a sign up bonus and relocation reimbursement. Another big YIKES!! Besides signing your right to breath away when signing their normal contract, my guess is they may want your first and second born child. I know they take your gonads.

Dan DeRose Suing Darek Spring

Update:
Here's the deal:
Darek says he worked for some company that had borrowed money from Dan to buy a bank...  The deal fell through as did the company.  Darek worked for this company and ended up like so many during this hard economic times and had to file bankruptcy too.  Dan then went after Darek.  Why  Darek,  I'm not sure, but in the end Dan dropped the suit and ate the $500k. Darek says has never seen nor met Dan DeRose.

Original post:
This is a funny little tidbit of info for my readers. Daniel (Dan) DeRose part of the FORBA DeRose fiasco and owner of DD Marketing is in the middle of an odd lawsuit.

He's suing Darek S. Spring in Colorado, case number 09-25344-HRT. Darek is in the middle of his own Chapert 7 bankruptcy case. Darek is trying to 'discharge' in his bankruptcy, a loan he owed to Dan DeRose. Dan is having a kicking and screaming fit, trying to stop that from happening.

The thing I thought was funny was the loan amount and the reason for the loan. Darek borrowed $500,000.00! Yep, Dan loaned Darek a half a million dollars.

Wonder why Darek needed a half a million dollars.... ?? ... it was to 'buy a bank'! I kid you not!

400 and Still Counting-Bad Reviews for Stephanie Harper, DDS and Alizia Strebe, DDS

I've spent the weekend trying to gather up the names of all the dentists who work of Small Smiles or one of their clinics. It's been extremely time consuming but worth it. I'm at over 400 and not searched New York, New Hampshire, or Massachusetts. Of course I'm sure some are no longer there and some new hires probably haven't been added to the various systems just yet. But I thought 400 at this point was quite impressive!

God, I love the Internet!

So far Ohio is winning at 52 Dentists, with Massachusetts a close second at 42...

Dr. Stephanie Harper, Savannah, GA.

Dr. Alizia Strebe, Boise, ID
