Hello Lori,
If your dentist is retiring before completing your work, you might be entitled to a refund under Massachusetts law. Some important points to consider:
- Review your contract for any language about this situation.
- Ask for a refund and see if the dentist is willing to return your money.
- If unsuccessful, consider filing a consumer complaint with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs.
He says he will complete the work using someone else's office
Hello Lori,
If the dentist is agreeing to complete the work in another office, you are entitled to:
- Confirm the qualifications and credentials of the new office.
- Check the conditions of the new office before agreeing.
- If unsatisfied, you can still request a refund or file a complaint as advised earlier.
