A Brooklyn-based dentist’s license was rightfully revoked by the state Board of Regents after the dentist pleaded guilty to defrauding insurance companies even though his crime didn’t harm patients—in fact, he provided patients with quality care for 25 years, an appeals court has ruled.
In affirming the board’s decision to revoke the license of longtime dentist Dmitry Epelboym, the Appellate Division, Third Department wrote in its decision that “the absence of patient harm does not preclude a penalty of license revocation.”
