Caution

As a result of a complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Charles Blumenfeld as follows:

•     In this instance, you did not obtain the patient’s informed consent to restorative treatment as you did not adequately communicate the treatment plan, nor did you adequately discuss the risks, benefits, costs, and alternatives to treatment. In addition, you did not make adequate notations regarding informed consent in the patient’s chart.  The panel is concerned that this is a pattern of conduct, given that you have received advice on this topic from the ICR Committee in the past, and undertook in the past to take a course in recordkeeping, including informed consent, and to undergo practice monitoring. Going forward, the panel cautions you to ensure that proper informed consent is obtained from every patient for every procedure.

•     In this instance, you made a decision to terminate the dentist-patient relationship after the patient underwent a pulpectomy and prior to the scheduled completion of the patient’s root canal therapy. It was your prerogative to end the relationship, but you did not handle the end of the relationship in a professional manner as you failed to expedite the process of providing the patient with his requested records so that he could seek treatment elsewhere, and you simply cancelled his next appointment without properly notifying him and providing a dismissal letter outlining that you would continue to provide treatment on an emergency basis while he found another dentist. The panel cautions you to ensure that when dismissing a patient, you do so in a professional manner and in accordance with the Practice Advisory on Maintaining a Professional Patient-Dentist Relationship.
