The following is what happened to me when I filed my complaint with the NHDS. It's all one big joke on me!!
Delay, deny and hope you die is the attitude from everyone at the NHDS, Delta Dental and the NHBDE.
Dr. John Patrick Ahern from 30 Pinkerton St. Derry, NH was the NHDS chairman that reviewed my case. He has been very good friends with Dr. David P. Gordon of Salem, Hollis NH for well over 25 years. Ahern has also been friends with Dr. Berkal of Derry NH, Gordons's 2nd ex-wife. In fact, they work in the same town together, Derry, NH.
When I filed my complaint, I sent 30 pages of medical records, the list medications I was on, and the fact that I had been hospitalized, suicidal over what I now looked like. I also sent him the long list of 12 operations I have had in 10 years.
Ahern is no MD, or a psychiatrist how was he even to understand the information sent him!! Gordon has caused great lifetime physical damage with cruel and extreme mental abuse. Because of Gordons total failure he caused well over $700,000.00 worth of damage and pain for an unnecessary operation installing 2 front top implants!! It was 3.5 hours of hell for no reason! Ahern thinks that I would, in my physical and mental state accept only $2000.00 from Gordon for full retribution he is clearly outa his mind!! One set of dentures is a min of $5500.00 and he was well aware of that!! Gordon said the $2000.00 would help me quote "get on my feet". He is a proven compulsive liar.
What was to take 8 months turned into 3 years at the time the whole economy was sinking and everyone was either losing their jobs or homes. What should have taken no more than 8 visits (including adjustments) turn into 50 visits (gas $5 a gal) to Gordon and at the end everything had to be replaced with me looking the fool!! What was to be only 8 implants turned into 10 and those 2 will never be used. Gordon was living off my retirement account for 3 years!! His decisions totally took every cent I could have ever invested.
When I filed my complaint with the NHDS, John Ahern knew that David Gordon and his 1st wife Terry were getting divorced, and that Gordon was now dating Dr. Brenda Berkal, DMD of Derry, NH. She was also the trustee at the NHDS at this time and then the Salem, NH dental society president. The fact that Gordon and Berkal were literally in bed together is maddening.
Ahern talked to Gordon more than twice about what was purposely done to me, lying directly to my face saying he had 34 years' experience when he had none. Ahern nor anyone at the NHDS ever contacted me once for an interview or for any more information. Remember that it was Ahern that highly recommend Gordon to do this job in the first place.
In 2019 Berkal was the Second Vice-President at the NHDS. She now has all the facts and photos of this horror and is in charge of making decisions on whose behalf? It is well known that a serious injustice has taken place and Brenda has not done a thing regarding the actions of her husband David Gordon and just let him walk. Brenda is Vice President in title only.
2019, Michael (Mumble's) Auerbach now the Executive Director of the NHDS and Dr. Berkal - Gordons ex-lover now works for him as the second vice president! Auerbach said "that my case been reviewed by the system put in place for the victim". I was floored when he said that. "The system" clearly only protects Gordon. That's the story everyone needs to know.
Auerbach receives his weekly paycheck which comes directly out of the dues and membership fees that each NH dentist pays into the NHDS accounts. He says "the NHDS's only mission is to represent and protect the dentist". No one said a thing to me about this before any work had started!!
Then to find out that there is not one law anywhere in N.H. that gives Dr. John P. Ahern and Michale Aurebach any authority at all to be the judge and jury on any case. Hell, Michale Aurebach isn't even a N.H. resident, he lives in MA but he goes and makes such life alliterating decisions against a N.H. dental patient/victim only to protect the "good name" of the dentist David Gordon! Let me assure you that no one at the NHDS gives a damn about you!! All I wanted was the job done correctly, on time on budget the first time and none of that happened.
Michal "Mumbles" Aurebach could not answer one of my long lists of questions, I got dead air. "I have been reviewed by the process that's put in place for the victim" he says. He stuck to the narrative made up by Ahern. This whole thing is an atrocity!! The motto of equal rights under the law is a flat out lie. You have no rights in N.H. if you don't have the money to pay for them.
It is utterly maddening that not a thing was done to protect me. There hasn't been one law in the NHBDE codes or the US and NH Constitution to stop a conman and thief like David P. Gordon. I was taken total advantage of by everyone in this broken dental justice system that only protects the good name of the dentist is tota read more
