Peer review offers a non-threatening opportunity for dentists and patients to resolve disputes when they cannot do so on their own. Volunteer dentists make a decision in the mediation and, if necessary, clinical exam.
Peer review is not a disciplinary body and does not have the authority or inclination to issue fines, take action against a dentist’s license or make public its findings. The only thing peer review can do is to find that a refund is in order or that any balance that is still outstanding be waived. The peer review process is an alternative avenue for patients and dentists to resolve issues outside of the traditional litigation or regulatory process.
