Governor Inslee: Reform Lax Dental Oversight Now

A four-year member of your Dental Quality Assurance Commission resigned in protest because cases were secretly closed, and dentists were not sanctioned for multiple cases that resulted in death. The former commission member sent you a long, detailed expose, which included a 5-part investigative series from the Seattle Post Intelligencer, but he received no response. I am but one of the many victims of dental malpractice in Washington State whose dentist is still practicing, because patients can't compete against lawyers hired by dental malpractice insurance companies, and DQAC routinely closes egregious cases without applying sanctions.
