Probably don't have a lawsuit here but here is the link to find your dentist on Avvo and you can post your review on his or her profile page. Good Luck!

   As Attorney Sternisha mentioned, Avvo has a section for dentists, where you can leave him some feedback.

   There is NO lawsuit here.
   Send him a letter explaining how you feel.
   You can report him to Lansing. Good luck!
