I, too, appreciated your story Susan. I don't believe that anyone is saying that Dr. El-Essawy has no redeemable qualities. We just feel that he has shown some unethical behavior in his posts. I'm very happy for you as I wasn't as fortunate as yourself and had to take out a loan to pay for my amalgam removal. Again, that was kind of him to help you out.
Sometimes, it's hard to be objective when the person being discussed has done an act of random kindness for us. Just he same, I'm sure we all appreciate your post. Helps to keep us balanced.

On the other hand, I would not go to any dentist who would breech my confidentiality rights as was done to Tracy.
