Dentist Finder San Diego

A Winnipeg dentist and former department head at the University of Manitoba’s dental school has lost his license to practice after he was found guilty of mistreating special needs patients over a 25-year period.

The Manitoba Dental Association found Dr. Ronald Boyar guilty of 105 instances of professional misconduct between 1991 and 2006.

Boyar was medical director of oral health for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and medical leader of a teaching clinic at the city’s Health Sciences Centre, where he also operated as a fee-for-service dentist. The clinic’s patients are mostly special-needs patients who required general anesthetic in a hospital setting.

The investigation found that Boyar did not perform any dentistry while these patients were under anesthesia and simply sent them on their way after they woke up. The investigation concluded Boyar was billing the provincial Family Services Department and third-party insurers for dental work he never performed.

In addition to losing his license to practice the dental association fined Boyar $10,000 and ordered him to pay $17,765 to cover investigation and hearing costs.
