Warner Heathman, DDS

In 1986, Dr. Heathman took out a cyst next to an impacted molar. Two years later, that impacted molar had grown in and was abscessed.
So in 1988, my parents took me back to Dr. Heathman to have that abscessed molar removed. He talked to my parents after I had been given general anesthesia and they all decided to go ahead and take out my wisdom teeth, since I was already «out».
When I woke up, I had bandages on all 4 corners. I was told that the abscessed molar was removed and three wisdom teeth. and that I didn’t have a 4^th wisdom tooth (same corner as the abscessed molar). Ok, Great. Healed up, had braces, graduated from high school and college, and worked for 5 years.
In 2003, I noticed my bottom teeth were becoming crowded again (NO! I don’t want braces again) but I didn’t do anything about it until 2006 when what do you know… that «non-​existent» wisdom tooth started to grow in and hurt like hell.
So, having moved to Dallas, I found an oral surgeon up here and he took x-​rays. Turns out I had two wisdom teeth (both on the bottom) that needed to come out and would easily explain why my bottom teeth were crowding. Hmm… that’s interesting, I had one of those wisdom teeth taken on in 1988. Or did I?
So, I called Dr. Heathman’s office. It took them a couple of days to find my records from 1988, but they did. The x-​rays were sent to Dr. Fanous and he compared them to the x-​rays he had taken the week before. Guess what.
BOTH of the two wisdom teeth on my 2006 x-​ray were there, clear as day in 1988. Dr. Heathman apparently sliced up my bottom right gums for the holy hell of it and didn’t bother to take out the wisdom tooth that was there. And I guess since he had already taken out the abscessed molar, we wouldn’t notice that he didn’t take out the one on that side… claiming I didn’t have one.
Is 18 years to long to have a fit and demand a refund?
