Caution

Current Status:
Completed
As a result of a complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. John Pate as follows:

• He must be more empathetic towards his patients, particularly young children, and this is even more applicable when the child attends in an emergency situation after suffering trauma.

• His suggestions that boys have less need for “drama” and less need for “crying” than girls are harmful to both his patients and to society as a whole and reflect poorly on him and on the profession.

• A dentist is distinguished by their ability to demonstrate courtesy, effective communication skills and a caring attitude. Dentists must act professionally even in stressful circumstances.

• His pattern of insensitive and inappropriate conduct towards minor patients is of great concern to the College as is his apparent failure to learn from previous outcomes on this same topic.
