I, Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich (indicate your last name, first name and patronymic - the latter if available), September 25, 2017 (indicate exact date events) felt unwell, namely (specify specific symptoms disease) and decided that I would need a dentist.

This circumstance served as the basis for my appeal to a medical healthcare institution (specify the type medical institution and its name, for example city ​​clinic No. 9) for helping me medical care.

At the same time, the following unlawful actions (inactions) were taken against me in this institution, namely (select the one you need, and also add to your complaint detailed description situations and attach evidence):

Date, personal signature of the person filing a complaint against the dentist

Most patients expect free treatment in public dental offices and individual approach with reliable guarantees in private. However, in reality, some of them face the opposite: a specialist in “free” medicine extorts money and tries to sell an “extremely necessary” medication to a friendly pharmaceutical company, and private dentist provides unqualified assistance, sometimes significantly aggravating the patient’s initial condition.

In any negative situation, it is important to be able to counteract the failed system and restore justice. This can be done with the help of a complaint (How to write a complaint against a hospital) submitted to the authorized body for consideration.

For a dentist at a public clinic

A doctor at a public medical institution is obliged to provide free treatment without compromising quality and has no right to refuse qualified medical care to a patient in need. By failing to comply with these rules, the dentist violates the rights of the citizen who contacted him, for which he must be held accountable.

To the head physician

If the doctor’s offense did not entail serious consequences for health reasons, and the offense is more of a disciplinary nature (unreasonable delay in admitting a patient, offensive behavior, absence from work during established appointment hours, etc.), it is advisable to contact the head doctor of the clinic with a complaint.

However, this appeal should not be relied upon great hopes. As a rule, the maximum that can be expected from the chief physician is a reprimand to a subordinate. Wasted time, nerves and peace of mind will not be refunded. True, in cases where an unethical and undisciplined dentist has long been identified as a problem area of ​​the establishment, strict sanctions can be applied against him, including dismissal or transfer.

Financial compensation for harm caused by the dentist or holding him accountable for interaction with commercial organizations for selfish purposes the head physician will not follow up on the complaint. But rather, on the contrary, the management will “cover up” for the employee, since in the first case they do not want to spoil the reporting and make the scandal public, and in the second case, they are most likely at the same time as the offender.

A complaint to the chief physician can be submitted orally or in writing. But for further proceedings, the applicant is recommended to record his appeal. To do this, he should write a complaint in two copies, and keep one of them, signed by the head of the clinic.

There is no strict form for drawing up an application. The main thing is to write legibly and politely, not to resort to threats and abuse against the offender, the organization, the chief physician and his relatives, and also to set the correct date for filing the appeal.

How to write:

• in the upper, introductory part of the application, indicate the full name of the head physician, the name of the hospital, the full name and contact information of the applicant.
• state in the main part pressing problem(fact and circumstances of the offense, preferably indicating the date of the incident) and proposals for its resolution.

To Roszdravnadzor

Federal service for supervision in the field of healthcare (abbreviated as Roszdravnadzor), at the request of an interested person, will inspect a dental institution or an individual practitioner to determine the legality of their professional activity and quality of medical services. But for this the service will need good reasons. Therefore, a competent complaint against a dentist must be accompanied by evidence of the facts stated in it, which especially concerns claims about the inadequate quality of the treatment provided.

1. A document confirming a visit to a specific medical specialist. For a public clinic, this is a medical card (a copy of the page with the corresponding entry), an outpatient voucher or an extract from the registry records (issued upon request by competent employees of the institution).
2. The results of a medical examination indicating the fact of poor-quality “treatment”.

But not all offenses can be proven, so the fact that some of them have been committed will need to be investigated by the inspectorate on its own. This applies, for example, to extortion or imposition medical product a certain manufacturer, which clearly does not proceed from expediency, but due to a preliminary conspiracy with the selling organization.

The complaint itself is drawn up indicating the following information:

1. “Cap” - the name of the government agency, the applicant’s full name and address.
2. The main part is a description of the offense indicating the date it was committed, full name, position and place of work of the offender.
3. A petition is a request for an inspection of a dentist or an entire clinic.
4. Appendix - listing of accompanying documents.
5. Date of filing and signature from the victim (his legal representative*) with transcript.

The treatment was carried out, the patient got up from the chair and began to walk away. She says that she did not allow me to remove the nerve in the tooth.

9. A dentist has the right to give sick leave for up to 5 days... I encountered a problem, I went to Kursk to the hospital - I had a wisdom tooth removed (there was an operation), there they gave me a certificate saying that I should go to the dentist at my place of residence or call a therapist at home! I came to the dentist, showed the certificate the same day and told me what they did to me. They didn’t give me anything and, to put it mildly, I was told to go home saying what I want... Where to go with a complaint about local dentistry? Zheleznogorsk city...

9.1. Good afternoon, Maxim. Dentistry can issue a certificate of incapacity for work only if it has a license to examine temporary incapacity for work. In practice, there are very few institutions providing dental care has such a license. Local dentistry or a therapist are not required to issue you sick leave for another institution.

9.2. Hello, Maxim. According to Art. 59 Federal Law of November 21, 2011 No. 323 - Federal Law, you have the right to take sick leave During the period of prosthetics, the dentist can give a sick leave for 10 days.
A dentist issues sick leave like any other doctor.
It can be issued on the day of your visit if you just need to have your teeth treated once and have a lot of work to do.
Intermittent sick leave may be issued, meaning you need to come in several times, and only those days on which treatment took place will be noted on it.
Dentist on at the moment has the right to issue and extend sick leave for a period of up to 10 (inclusive) calendar days. With the participation of a medical commission, it was previously allowed to extend up to 30 calendar days.
The main thing is that dentistry has a license.

Poor quality care can be divided into two categories: poor work done and harm caused to health as a result of the treatment. In order to protect your rights, you need to study the laws “On the Protection of Consumer Rights” and “On Health Care”.

1. If the work was performed poorly and the warranty period has not yet expired

For example, filling, crown. Under warranty, the clinic is obligated to do the work or return its full cost. It is advisable to keep the contract and receipt, although the clinic should have information about your visit. They usually redo the work under warranty without any problems. But to return the money you need to write an application addressed to general director(chief physician). But few people know that by law you have the right to demand reimbursement for the cost of correcting the work in another, more expensive clinic.

2. If poorly performed work entails more serious consequences

For example, an incorrectly placed crown led to a crack in the root of the tooth and the need to remove it and install an implant. In this case, it is important to be able to prove that it was the installation of the crown that led to the loss of the tooth. How to proceed in this case.

Do not make a scandal or swear under any circumstances - this will not achieve anything, but on the contrary, you will give the unscrupulous clinic time to “prepare” for your claims.

If you are determined, go to paid consultation to a lawyer (free ones are usually uninformative), it is advisable to find a lawyer or company that specializes specifically in medical matters. During the consultation, the lawyer will tell you in what sequence you need to act in your specific situation. Sometimes it is possible to settle everything at the pre-trial stage.

To request medical records, you need to write an application in two copies, on one of them the clinic representative must sign that he accepted it. Provide copies medical documents and medical history upon written request is the responsibility of any medical institution.

Before starting treatment for the consequences in another clinic, ask your doctor to do oral cavity, this will be needed to file a claim.

You can claim compensation for the cost of treatment in this clinic, the cost of subsequent treatment, moral damages (usually from 20 to 50,000 rubles), and all related expenses. The court also imposes a fine equal to the cost of the poor-quality services provided.

Realistically assess your chances if the matter comes to trial. The hardest thing is to prove the connection improper treatment and the problems that arise, it does medical examination. Initially, all expenses are paid by you; in case of a positive court decision, they are recovered from the clinic.

Do not enter into polemics with representatives of the clinic. They must appeal all claims and conclusions only in writing.

When paying for expensive work by lawyers, assess the risks. If it's small private clinic, then it is quite possible that she will close the legal entity, and there will simply be no one to sue. Also, do not forget that behind each clinic there is a lawyer who will protect its interests.
