I went in to see Dr John Levas at Moorebank Dental with a perfectly healthy set of teeth in the early 1990s as a 21 year old and came out with immediate major dental problems, a lifetime of major ongoing dental problems that persist to this day, and facing a lifetime of major dental procedures that persist to this day.
Remedying his treatment has cost me thousands of dollars and are about to cost me thousands of dollars more as I now need implants to replace the teeth he worked on.
I consulted a solicitor at the time who explaine that he couldn't see how I could lose a court case against Dr Levas but he also explained any compensation would be taken up by legal fees.
I complained to the HCCC recently but there was nothing they could do due to the passage of time.
