3. 3.                The Applicant’s insurance company required the Applicant to undergo an independent Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ) medical examination following a motor vehicle accident on November 24, 2012. The Respondent, who is a general dentist, conducted the examination in the presence of a nurse on October 9, 2013.

4. 4.                Following the appointment, the Applicant raised a number of concerns about the Respondent’s conduct while conducting the examination and the contents of the resulting report, which he detailed in a number of letters.

5. 5.                Specifically, the Applicant felt pain in his ears and face, and experienced swelling. He had soreness and numbness and tingling in his upper lip and problems with his left eye. He associated these symptoms with the examination and reported difficulty holding up his head after the examination.

6. 6.                Generally, the Applicant was of the view that the Respondent physically and psychologically abused him and prepared a report that was “misleading, inaccurate and biased.”  In his view, the Respondent was motivated to abuse him as “reprisal for rebutting and complaining about the two previous Examiners.”
