DENTAL NEWS: Police in American Fork, Utah have arrested Raul Antonio Garay for allegedly running a dental practice out of a secret, filthy basement "clinic". Investigators say they found rusty dental tools, a dental chair, air hose, water hose and X-ray machine in his basement.
According to charging document, Garay told neighbors that he had been a dentist in El Salvador, but never got licensed in the United States. Garay saw as many as seven patients a day charging up to $600 for a procedure with most of the patients being Latinos who heard about him by word of mouth.
DENTAL VIEWS: For $600 a pop, this Garay-guy should a least sprung for some sterile dental equipment. Seriously, it's too bad this guy didn't try harder to get licensed as a dentist in the United States because he was genuinely providing a valuable service to the Latino community, albeit illegally.
