As a medical professional, I am disgusted in Graver’s behavior. I was reported to Child and Youth just hours after telling Graver I was not comfortable with him performing sedation on my daughter and wanted a second opinion after our second encounter. If there were valid concerns about my daughter’s health, why would a report not arise until I said I wanted a second opinion? The allegations also stated I was emotional and paid in cash. Reporting a guardian with an active appointment to Child and Youth created a barrier to care. Furthermore, what the reporting party failed to mention is that his office gives a 10% discount paid in cash. Why would paying in cash be a concern for report to Child and Youth if you give an incentive to pay with cash? He cared about money, not my daughters health or wellbeing. I did not fail to obtain dental care. My daughter was not in uncontrolled pain that interfered with her oral intake. I brought her to Graver because I knew she needed treatment and I was concerned of bacteria entering her bloodstream if a cavity went untreated. How is that neglect? He couldn’t even answer my questions about the appropriateness of antimicrobial therapy whether indicated or prophylactic. He would not discuss the treatment plan with me in detail. It is his job as a DDS to ensure the patient or guardian understands the procedure in well enough detail including surgical interventions and medications to willfully consent. He failed to do so. In fact, he told me the anesthesia would be administered orally or intramuscular initially. It wasn't until I corrected him and said Propofol is intravenous that he disclosed the procedure would be under intravenous sedation. He ensured me my daughter would be safe as there would be an EMT-B there to listen to her respirations. I know exactly what their scope of practice is limited to. There is no way in my right mind, I would allow him to administer propofol IV on my daughter outside of a hospital setting, no matter the skill level of the person performing sedation. He failed to even present me with an alternative treatment plan such as the risks and benefits of extraction vrs root canal on a babytooth where the adult molar is visualized just underneath on imaging. Advocating for your child's rights and your concerns does not make someone emotional. I have a feeling Graver does not like being corrected or told you would like a second opinion, as he stated, "I'm the best anesthesiologist you'll find in PA." I asked him about an alleged suspension of his license in 2013, listed on an article on Pennlive, and he immediately became defensive and started talking over me. He provided subjective information about “his credentials” without providing objective data about the surgical interventions, medications, and treatment plan. I would be a neglectful parent to pursue treatment under his care as he failed to fully discuss these. He even instructed me to “Wikipedia” information about his equipment. As a medical professional, that is the last thing I would tell my patients to do. Information presented should be verified and factual such as approved literature or information that is backed by peer reviewed studies. Furthermore, he asked if my daughter would be more comfortable if he didn’t wear a mask during our initial appointment. I told him I would prefer he wear one. He disregarded my request, and after the exam, let his mask dangle, untied, and with his nose and mouth exposed as he talked to us. As someone actively working with Covid patients, I was appalled by his complete disregard to the proper implementation of PPE. As a dentist, I would think he would be educated on contact and droplet precautions and what safely implementing PPE means during a pandemic. His complacency jeopardizes the risk of a localized community outbreak. There is a reason I researched his credentials between our first and second encounter and why I wanted a second opinion after he failed to explain the treatment plan during my daughter’s pre-anesthesia work up appointment.
