MAYNILA -- Arestado ang isang umano’y pekeng dentista na may-ari ng dalawang dental clinic kahit walang lisensiya sa Imus, Cavite.

Sa ulat ng NBI Organized and Transnational Crime Division (OTCD), nakatanggap sila ng reklamo laban sa lalaking nagbukas at nag-ooperate ng mga dental clinic sa lugar.

“Nagpa-practice siya as dentist dito sa Metro Manila at the same time dun sa Cavite. Vinerify natin ‘to sa PRC kung may lisensya ba at nalaman natin na wala siyang lisensya,” ayon kay Atty. Jerome Bomediano, hepe ng NBI OTCD. 

Kinilala ang suspek bilang isang dentistry graduate pero hindi umano ito nakapasa sa board exam.

Sa kabila nito, siya mismo ang nagsasagawa ng dental procedures tulad ng pagbunot ng ngipin at paglalagay ng veneers sa kanyang mga pasyente. 

“Nakakatakot ito kasi wala siyang lisensya. Kung may hindi magandang mangyari sa pasyente, anong hahabulin ng pasyente?” sabi ni Bomediano. 

“Unfair din dun sa mga dentista na may lisensya kung ia-allow natin ‘yung mga ganito,” dagdag niya. 

Bukod dito, napag-alamang nag-aalok din ang suspek ng mga kahina-hinalang promo online. 

“Kung iko-compare mo siya sa mga dental clinic na legit talaga, mas mura ‘yung sa kanya. Halos kalahati ‘yung deperensya ng presyo. Magdududa ka na,” sabi ni Bomediano.

Itinanggi naman ng suspek ang mga paratang at iginiit na siya lamang ang may-ari ng klinika ngunit hindi siya ang gumagawa ng mga procedure. 

“Hindi na po ako nagki-clinic. Nag hire po ako ng mga dentista. Ni-request lang po talaga ako today,” depensa ng suspek. 

Sinampahan ng mga reklamong paglabag sa Philippine Dental Act of 2007 at paglabag sa Food and Drug Administration Act of 2009 ang suspek. 

Nagpaalala naman ang NBI sa publiko na laging beripikahin sa PRC website ang pangalan ng isang dentista bago kumuha ng kanyang serbisyo.
