Embattled Calif. Dentist Says Breast Rubs Necessary

WOODLAND, Calif. — A dentist accused of fondling the breasts of 27 female patients is trying to keep his dental license by arguing that chest massages are an appropriate procedure in certain cases. Mark Anderson's lawyer says dental journals discuss the need to massage the pectoral muscles to treat a common jaw problem. Police say Anderson said during recorded phone calls that he routinely massaged patients' chests to treat temporo-mandibular joint disorder, or TMJ, which causes neck and head pain. Attorney Robert Zaro told administrative law judge Jonathan Lew at a hearing Thursday that he should let Anderson keep his dental license while disciplinary appeals proceed. Anderson would be supervised by two assistants and would no longer do the chest rubs, Zaro said. Zaro said Anderson, 48, of Woodland, needs to keep seeing patients so he can feed his seven children and pay for his defense. The judge made no immediate decision. Lew suspended Anderson's dental license last month. He was charged with two misdemeanor counts of battery and sexual battery. Yolo County prosecutors are investigating complaints from more than two dozen women who say they also were groped in the examining chair in the last five years. Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Phillips gave Lew three new complaints, including one from a 31-year-old woman who said Anderson fondled her at least six times over two years. She took to wearing tight shirts with high necklines, "and Anderson would still get in under her shirt and bra," according to a police report.

????????????????????????????????????????????

Did she ver think of changing dentists or filing charges against the guy????

Some people are amazing.

Do you know hard HARD it is to find a dentist that is both good and *affordable*.

The doc has 7 kids - so he should keep working? Yup, maybe he could get a job as a therapeutic masseuse?

“Yes Mrs. Jones, this is a perfectly normal and professional treatment for TMJ. When I’m done, I’m going to rub your ass to help your teeth be better aligned.”

[colorado tanker]

Well, if a chest rub helps a bad jaw I wonder if the same theory would work on a bad hip?

[AppyPappy]

This is positively Clintonian

[SF Republican]

He allegedly fondled her, but she kept going back?
Care to explain that one???

Anita Hill could.

[Slapshot68]

No wonder that elf from The Year Without a Santa Claus wanted to be a dentist.

[Revolting cat!]

Are you people antidental?

[traumer]

Nobody died....

[SlowBoat407]

Six times, and all she did was wear a different shirt. Just kept going back to the same guy. Hmmmmm...

She probably complained when he stopped doing it.

“Mrs Jones, this is a serious tooth problem that can only be fixed by undressing and watching porn movies with me while I take pictures of you to sell on the internet. “
“OK, you are the professional”

Fair question. A. Match the curtains to the drapes. B. "Natural" women do not appear to be simultaneously pointing at right and left field.

“A convicted sex offender agreed to surrender his dentist license for three years.”.....So what happens after three years?....Back to molesting in the dental chair?....Beyond rediculous!

KRAMER: "So you got any cavities?"

JERRY: "Just one....gotta go back.....Oh but get this. Elaine, you will appreciate this. I'm sitting in Tim Whatley's waiting room...He's got a Penthouse right out on the table."

ELAINE: "Penthouse?"

JERRY: "Yeah!!! What is that? I mean isn't that sick. I mean, I'd be embarrassed to have that in my apartment."

KRAMER: "So what's wrong with that?"

JERRY: (outraged) "He's a doctor! I mean it's supposed to be like a sterile environment."

KRAMER: "So... Did you take a look?"

JERRY: "Of course.... But that's got nothing to do with it."

KRAMER: "Well I'll tell you I'm looking forward to my appointment on Thursday. I might even get there a few minutes early."

[Badeye]

Uh huh, and Larry Craig is guilty of having a ‘wide stance’ while using public restrooms....(eyes rolling)
