I was only 22 years old with a minor TMJ problem when I saw Dr. Martin Frankel. He checked the maximum amount of money my insurance would pay before starting my treatment and charged me that amount. Since my insurance do not pay a lump sum, but incrementally, he tailored the length of my treatment according to its payment schedule. Once the payment was collected in full, he said my treatment was over. It took well over a year before the maximum amount was reached. Even though my treatment should have stopped a long time ago, he continued to schedule me so he could collect the money. My jaw ended up being moved too much and out of alignment. When I brought up the pain, he would say I said fine when asked how I am feeling, and if I sue him he has it in writing to proof it. I was not even thinking about suing at all when I brought up the pain. My face and life has changed forever and I became eligible for Social Security Disability. When SSI tried to extract my file from him, he refused to turn it over. Today I am 37 years old and has since moved on. I am sharing my experience as a cautionary tale, so no one else would go through what I went through.
