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.

Oh btw doc, when you're through looking at my teeth would you massage my breasts? My head hurts. LOL
Poor thing, must have been waaaaaaaaay too difficult to look in the yellow pages for another dentist.......imo, SIX TIMES??? I'm thinking this twit was enjoying it........
The brain train left the station a long time ago for this one....
LOL, what’s that saying.......in the beginning the Lord was handing out brains, this twit thought he was saying trains and didn’t bother getting in line!
I wonder if he had this on his new patient form: “do you obect to breast massages?”
I don’t know anything about massaging the pectoral muscle to treat TMJ.. I have it and have had bouts of jaw muscles “locking” and other issues from it, but never found messing with the pectoral muscle having any impact on it.
However a woman who believe she’s been molested, and goes back to the same guy for treatment 5 more times????????? Unless she’s a minor or mentally deficient, I’m finding her claims dubious at that point.
Yes, lockjaw would certainly prove to be rather painful in certain circumstances...
Doctor: “Ma’am, have you ever been bed-ridden?”
Granny: “Oh heavens, yes—many times. And a few times in cars.”
Well, for starters, you can just assume all of the trannies do. And most of the “men” on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors do, as well.
Basically...that’s it in a C-cup.....
You forgot the rimshot! ROFLOL
What a creep.Reminds me of a case here in Fla many years ago.A local chiropractor was practicing what he refered to as “hormonal stimulation” on female patients.The jury didn’t buy it.
Interesting how many posts this topic has gotten.... ;)
I almost laughed when i saw this because the great radio host Phil Hendrie, a pro WOT Democrat, did a comedy bit that was sort of like this. One of his fictional radio characters was supposed to be a lifeguard who included a breast massage as part of giving mouth to mouth resuscitation. Naturally he did this only to attractive females. So of course people called in to the show and screamed at the guy, told him he was molesting women, said rubbing the breasts is not medically necessary to revive a drowning person, etc. LOL. Life imitates Hendrie.
I wonder how many patients this guy scored with in the office using this “technique”? Can his male patient’s sue for not receiving equal treatment?
6 time over 2 years?
Is she a complete idiot?
Why didn’t she find a new dentist the very first time?
Why in HELL would you go back to someone like that? Why not report him? This is ludicrous.
