Dr. Carlos Lamboy

Dr. Carlos Lamboy performed poor orthodontic services which cause infection and a dead tooth. San Antonio, Texas

11th of May, 2011 by User593123

I had my braces originally handled by another doctor before
Dr. Lamboy took over. During the time he
treated me, most everything was fairly satisfactory, however, at the end of the
treatment there were some horrible issues. Dr. Lamboy placed a shunt on one of my teeth causing it to
die toward the end of the treatment, and did not remove the dental cement on
the teeth and under the gumline when time came to remove the braces. I was,
however, unaware of this and only later found out through another dentist after
the dental cement began to cause infections from trapped food particles. Attempts to seek recompense for the dental cement removal
and my dead tooth but discussions with Dr. Lamboy were not at all amicable,
even though I was simply attempted to get a relatively small amount to cover my
out of pocket expenses and complete the repair of these issues. After a few attempts of trying to negotiate with him, he
refused to talk to me, and instead arranged for what I thought was a legal
arbitrator to handle the case. I later found out after consulting with an
attorney that this company had no legal powers and wanted me to sign documents
which would have ended any chance of resolving this matter in court, leaving
the decision of compensation up to them(which obviously would not be in my
favor). Thankfully I did not sign them. For some reason Dr. Lamboy is no longer practicing dentistry
in my area, having left the state. It would not surprise me if he caused
similar issues with other patients and subsequently had to leave because of
reputation, because the dentists who took over his practice are doing very well
in the area. Not being here has caused problems for court proceedings, but
luckily my attorney is very good and has arranged to subpoena him soon. Hopefully I can get some type of recompense soon for all the
issues this guy has caused me.
