Edmund W. Jay is a Dishonest Dentist
Herein is how a prosthodontist/dentist, a “Dr.” Edmund W. Jay, in San Diego, who falsely boasts to be “The TMJ Specialist", systematically defrauded/scammed $54,483.00 from us and our insurance company for his harmful splints and ill-fitting and inferior crowns, etc., which he forced me to suffer with. In order to defraud this $54,483.00, Edmund Jay took cruel and predatory advantage of my trust, very painful condition and vulnerable state, which was a dentist induced/caused TMJ disorder.
In a detailed and legally binding written contract, "Dr." Jay promised to therapeutically treat and cure my condition and he also put in writing that he would only deliver superior and excellent care to me.
Evidence proves "Dr." Jay is very dishonest and that he does NOT know how to therapeutically treat TMJ disorders; he does not understand correct jaw/bite alignment or crown functionality. He is only adept in lying and deceiving patients into unnecessary and harmful work and lies to the public about his skills, abilities and expertise as being superior to general dentists when he/his work are inferior.
"Dr." Edmund Jay is just ALL talk because when it comes to doing the actual work, he is grossly incompetent in delivering beneficial treatments; his crowns are shoddy, ill-fitting, they leak, his splints ruin your jaw/bite alignment and this kept me and other TMJ patients in unnecessary pain.
Herein is also how a general dentist reversed the torturous state "Dr." Jay intentionally forced/kept me for years, after which my dentist fixed the damage and horrific mess "Dr." Edmund Jay inflicted upon me and this returned my bite/jaw back to their healthy and correct postition and restored my perfect health back to me, my dentist saved my life. My dentist therapeutically treats patients, which is the reason he never harmed, lied or deceived me or my husband into any unnecessary, harmful or destructive work, which "Dr." Jay did to both of us many, many times.
In Section 3, I overview how "Dr." Jay defrauded, gravely injured and then intentionally left me to suffer with a TMJ disorder he kept deceiving me to believe he was curing. I also detail my general dentist fixing the horrific damage/mess "Dr." Jay inflicted on me and how this restored my health.
In Section 3, I also detail how "Dr." Jay lied and tried to deceive my husband into $10,000.00 of unnecessary and very harmful/destructive work because he lied about needing to pull a healthy tooth. Our dentist said there were not any reasons to pull my husband's healthy tooth and he fixed this minor issue for only $215.00, which was decay that was caused by "Dr." Jay's ill-fitting crown.
"Dr." Jay also lied about my husband needing $6,000.00 of other unnecessary work, he lied about a filling being loose, he intentionally damaged a healthy tooth and then he billed our insurance to fix these 2 teeth. The above is called over treatment and intentional harm, which are frauds/crimes that affects all consumers and are "Dr." Jay's business practices; deceit and harming patients to profiteer.
Instead of treating and curing me with Superior and Excellent care as Edmund Jay promised me in his legally binding and still criminally enforceable contract and documents, he deceived, harmed and abused me and grossly misused being a doctor and a health care provider, who fraudulently claims to be "The TMJ Specialist" who cures all of his patients, when documents and witnesses proves he is not.
"Dr." Jay did the above in order to defraud $54,483.00 from us and our insurance company for delivering his useless/harmful splints and harmful, shoddy and ill-fitting crowns. After this, with malice he concocted and then deceived me, his patient, to believe I had permanent damage/incurable medical conditions that I DO NOT have.
With a self-serving agenda and a cruel and reckless disregard for my health and life, "Dr." Jay committed the sadistic act of deceiving me to believe I had 2 incurable medical conditions to cover-up the fact that the cause of my chronic pain was from his ill-fitting crowns that were forcing my bite/jaw into a backwards, unbalanced and unstable position, which is the opposite of their normal and healthy position.
"Dr." Jay saw that keeping me in this position forced my teeth to hit and bang into each other and that this prevented me from eating in a normal/correct position and was the cause of ALL my pain. "Dr." Jay also saw, he knew that keeping me in chronic pain with his ill-fitting crowns and deceiving me to believe this pain was caused from 2 incurable medical conditions I DO NOT have caused me to suffer extreme emotional distress, despair and utter hopelessness. Edmund Jay, who took an oath to do no harm, and then medically abused and tortured me, will be held legally/criminally accountable.
"Dr." Edmund Jay intentionally damaged teeth to make money; he over treated and did unnecessary work, he delivered ill-fitting and sub-standard work and he billed us and our insurance company for all of this. He billed us and our insurance for work he did not perform, he double billed for the same work and billed our insurance company for work he did not deliver. And Edmund Jay does the above as a business practice.
"Dr." Jay's especially cruel actions are an intentional and reckless disregard for my health, safety and life and constitute misrepresentations, fraud under false pretenses, fraud through deceit, contract fraud, insurance fraud, grand theft, intentional infliction of physical harm and torture, emotional abuse and distress, abandonment and more, which are all criminal acts. (In Section 3, I present an overview of the above).
These are the evidence; my dentist's medical records, x-rays, "Dr." Jay's shoddy crowns, his useless splints, his fraudulent insurance invoices, many health care providers who tried to alleviate the chronic pain he kept me, his written contract/his legal promise to therapeutically treat and cure my condition, his letters promising us superior and excellent care, phone messages from him and more.
This evidence proves: Dr." Jay is a fraud, a liar and a gross incompetent in treating/curing TMJ disorders, which involves correct bite/jaw alignment, splint therapy and crowns that are functional, not harmful, shoddy and ill-fitting, which is what he delivered to me. In addition to me, there are other TMJ patients, "Dr." Jay also deceived, betrayed and then abandoned. In treating my husband, who is a typical patient, "Dr." Jay's diagnosis's and treatments were false, unnecessary and harmful.
I also gave a letter to "Dr." Jay telling him I had proof he had been lying to me about my medical condition, etc. Edmund Jay, who was so sure he would get away with defrauding and torturing me because he thought I would never find a dentist to correctly diagnose me and then fix the horrific mess/state he left me, now left a 2nd phone message where he nervously rambles on and sheepishly and falsely claims he "stands behind his work", he wants to settle this matter quietly/privately, etc.
(Update: Edmund Jay is illegally tampering with my website because many people are reading it and this is negatively impacting his "business". He also cannot take ANY legal actions to remove my website because everything I state is TRUE and proven with evidence and witnesses. The preceding facts are the reasons Edmund Jay dishonestly chose to pay a deceitful "reputation management company" to cover-up his criminal actions that left me gravely injured by burying and removing pages of my website on MSN, which is illegal and violates my First Amendment Rights. This company has put itself in the position of being complicit and an accessory to Edmund Jay's crimes.)
Also, please read Section 4; TMJ, Biggest Medical Fraud in History, etc. and Section 5; The Standards of Ethical Conduct and Core Values, which are legal obligations ALL dentists MUST adhere to in treating patients and this includes "Dr." Edmund W. Jay.
Because of my horrific experience, I created this website to educate and warn my fellow consumers that whenever one of us walks into a dentist office, our health, safety and life is at risk of being gravely and even fatally harmed by a dentist who with impunity, defrauds and injures patients for profits in spite of their LEGALLY binding oath, “ABOVE ALL, DO NO HARM” and always put your patients’ best interest ahead of profits; dentists are always legally prohibited from lying and doing whatever it takes to get your trust, your money, harming you, abusing you, covering up their illegal acts, etc.
There are honest dentists who are speaking out about the rampant dishonesty in dentistry and expose the many ways your dentist is “ripping you off”. They explain something called “creative diagnosis”, which is when dentists/Edmund Jay, lie, they conjure up a phony diagnosis to sell unnecessary and expensive over-treatments such as crowns, implants, fillings, deep cleanings, root canals to patients that ruin their teeth and health and a dentist doing the preceding is fraud, a crime.
These same dentists state that lack of ethics, competency and professionalism is ruining dentistry and that ethics and science are not taught in dental school when these are the cornerstones of all medical professions in the treatment of patients, that unnecessary dentistry poses a substantial risk to the American public, etc. They state dentistry is all about MONEY/BIG PROFITS, which makes unsuspecting and trusting patients just big $$$ signs to these dentists, we are their cash cows.
Countless patients have been to a dentist who lied and deceived them in order to sell unnecessary and expensive crowns, implants, fillings, deep cleanings, root canals, etc. for profits. An Attorney General involved in a case where dentists were found criminally liable for harming patients for profits, stated, “Dentists are health care providers, who take an oath to do no harm and that NOTHING is worse than a dentist taking advantage of patients’ trust and then harming them to profit.” Dentists defrauding, harming and abusing patients for money is rampant and the sickest and cruelest of all frauds.
Federal and State laws define FRAUD as: lying, deceiving, etc. to obtain money from a person and this INCLUDES dentists who sell unnecessary, harmful, defective, etc. services to their patients. Their oath, “above all, do no harm”, legally obligates all dentists to be truthful and provide their patients with dental services that ONLY benefits them. The dentist/patient relationship is based on trust and dentists must ALWAYS put a patient’s safety and life before their profits, refer to Section 5.
Section 2: In a nut-shell: My Dentist Caused Malocclusion, TMJ Disorder.
The #1 cause of patients being inflicted with a malocclusion, a TMJ disorder is from dental work that is too large and/or too high, ill-fitting done by incompetent people who should NEVER be dentists. A dentist in Virginia stated, “dental school educates a dentist to gain the “MINIMUM” level of competency to pass the dental boards” and the preceding sentence clearly explains the rampant incompetency in dentistry and is the reason I was gravely harmed.
Before my dental nightmare, I was an ACE certified personal trainer in perfect health and condition. I was never afraid of the dentist and never knew that a dentist could or would gravely injure me and destroy my health and my entire life. I never heard of something called a malocclusion, a TMJ disorder and did not know about the rampant level of dishonesty, incompetency and greed in dentistry. I also did not know instead of taking responsibility for their ill-fitting work, dentists lie, deceive and cover-up the grave harm they inflict on their patients that in my case almost killed me.
My dental nightmare began when a dentist put crowns in my mouth that were too large and too high. This dentist then refused to adjust his too large and too high crowns insisting that his crowns fit perfectly. This dentist and his too large and too high crowns were the cause of preventing me from making contact on both sides of my mouth and this imbalance resulted in pushing my jaw backwards and inflicting something on me called a malocclusion, TMD, or as it is more commonly known, TMJ.
Section 3: An overview of how “Dr.” Edmund Jay, a prosthodontist and medical examiner defrauded, harmed and medically tortured me.
In my search to find a dentist to fix my dentist caused malocclusion, we met with “Dr.” Edmund Jay, located at 3737 Moraga Avenue, in San Diego, California. “Dr.” Jay told me and my husband that he specialized in treating TMJ disorders and he had treated lots of patients with my exact same pain and symptoms and even worse that were all caused by ill-fitting crowns that were too large and too high.
“Dr.” Jay told us he was confident he would fix my condition because he cured all of his TMJ patients and said he would never do any permanent work until I was pain and symptom free because doing this while I was in pain was the wrong course of treatment in my case. After “Dr.” Jay said the preceding, we completely trusted and believed he was telling us the truth, not that he was lying and defrauding us.
“Dr.” Jay gave me a very expensive and detailed written treatment plan, which to date, is still a legally binding contract/promise that he will therapeutically treat and cure my condition. He also put in writing another legally binding contract that he would only deliver superior and excellent care to me. After 1 ½ years of being treated by “Dr.” Jay, I was still in pain, so now he and his assistant told us permanent crowns would eliminate my pain. We reminded him he said he would not do this until I was pain and symptom free because he said it was the wrong course of treatment for me.
This is when “Dr.” Jay promised us he would remove and remake his permanent crowns if they were not helping me or they did not fit after his adjustments and that he had done this for other patients. He said he would use temporary cement to easily remove his crowns, take new impressions and give this to his lab to make new crowns. He promised he would not charge us to make new crowns and said he was treating me like his own family, so he would never do anything to harm me. After “Dr.” Jay’s promises, we completely trusted and believed he was telling us the truth, not that he was lying and defrauding us and defrauding our insurance company.
After “Dr.” Jay began putting in his permanent crowns I continued to have the same pain and symptoms. “Dr.” Jay now said putting in more permanent crowns was the solution to ridding me of my pain, but this turned out to be false because his crowns caused my teeth to hit and bang against each other, which is the reason I repeatedly asked and pleaded with him to remake his crowns as he had promised us.
But, “Dr.” Jay just refused to remake his crowns and told me he had to do gum and bone surgeries, which are all LIES, if he remade his crowns and he would rather have my teeth hit and bang against each other than do these surgeries. He also told me, like him I had something called a crossbite and jaw problems and these were the causes of my pain and these were also all LIES by "Dr." Jay.
My dentist, his medical records and x-rays prove “Dr.” Jay concocted these 4 lies not to remake his harmful crowns that kept me in pain. He also drilled on and ruined healthy teeth in spite of me telling him not to drill on these teeth and after he did this, my bite problems and pain worsened. “Dr.” Jay now admitted to us that he did NOT cure all his TMJ patients, so from the day we met Edmund Jay he repeatedly lied to us about his skills and expertise.
During the 6 ½ years I went to “Dr.” Jay, he instilled a fear of other dentists into me to ensure I only trusted him by repeatedly telling me he was the only honest dentist in San Diego and he was superior to these dentists who were only about money, that they did phony, unnecessary and sloppy work, they broke patients’ jaws, ruined healthy teeth, caused TMJ disorders, called them necessary evils and he named these dentists. Edmund Jay is the same and worse than the dentists he claimed are dishonest.
At this same time "Dr." Jay kept telling me I had to trust him because he was the dentist and he knew everything about teeth, bites and jaw alignment which he had studied for 30 years. "Dr." Jay also told me he was a medical examiner, so he was legally obligated to always tell me the truth and that he would never lie to me, etc. But, instead of curing me, he refused to do anything except to drill on his mismatched and harmful crowns by continually telling me that this would cure my condition.
Because “Dr.” Jay just refused to relieve the torturous state he kept me, this forced me to seek 2nd opinions from other dentists who did in depth exams, x-rays, etc. that show/prove my jaw joints are healthy and normal and I do NOT have a cross bite, whereas “Dr.” Jay told me I had these 2 abnormalities and they were the causes of my pain. "Dr." Jay deceiving me to believe I had a cross bite and jaw problems to cover-up him keeping me in pain with his mismatched and harmful crowns that forced my bite/jaw to be unbalanced/unstable is a serious crime, a betrayal of my trust and his acts violated ALL medical standards, are cruel, sadistic and medical torture.
These dentists also diagnosed: “Dr.” Jay’s crowns were mismatched, uneven, flat and that he failed to give me guidance and this forced me to hit heavy and chew on my back teeth, that “Dr.” Jay kept my jaw backwards, unbalanced, unstable and too far to my left, which forced my bite/jaw into the OPPOSITE of their normal and healthy position and forced my teeth to bang into each other and prevented me from eating/chewing in a normal and correct position and were the causes of all my pain. I had constant ear pain, pressure, burning, muffled hearing, ringing, tooth pain, muscle pain and tightness under my chin, face, neck, shoulders and back that worsened after I ate/chewed.
These dentists also said: “Dr.” Jay drilled holes thorough, flattened and ruined his crowns and left burn marks from his excessive drilling and the condition he left me was unethical and dangerous. They said I was attacked, had a lawsuit, asked if the dentist who did this had just graduated from dental school and were shocked to hear a prosthodontist put and left me in such a horrific state.
The above dentists, which include my dentist who treated me and cured my TMJ disorder, are the same dentists who "Dr." Jay said he is superior to, that these dentists are inferior to "Dr." Jay.
Thus, “Dr.” Jay, “The TMJ specialist” also saw and knew his splints and harmful and mismatched crowns were keeping my bite and jaw in a backwards, unstable and unbalanced position and were the reasons I was in torturous pain, which he is legally obligated to relieve. Instead, he kept me in this unbearable state by deceiving me to believe my pain was from my healthy jaw and an imaginary cross bite which he said was permanent damage I just had to live with. “Dr.” Jay also saw and knew keeping me in chronic pain caused me to suffer extreme emotional distress, despair and hopelessness and his acts violated ALL medical standards, are cruel, sadistic medical torture and are all crimes.
While I was getting these 2nd opinions, “Dr.” Jay left a phone message where he still lied about my healthy jaw and said I needed to find another dentist because he had adjusted his crowns a gazillion times, so he did not know what else to do, he refused to remake his crowns, he admitted I was suffering under his care, etc. and he kept our $54,483.00. “Dr.” Jay’s phone message, his written treatment plan/contract to treat and cure me, his written promise to deliver superior work and keeping our $54,483.00 establishes abandonment, contract fraud, fraud under false pretenses and grand theft.
My current dentist painstakingly returned my bite and jaw back to their correct and healthy position with a splint that reversed the backwards, unstable and unbalanced position that “Dr.” Jay and his 2 splints forced me. At this same time my dentist replaced “Dr.” Jay’s temporary crowns several times because they also forced my jaw backwards, whereas, “Dr.” Jay refused to do this insisting it was not his inferior, painful crowns, that were keeping me in chronic pain, that like him, I also had a cross bite and he lied/blamed my healthy/normal jaw for the chronic pain he knew he was causing to me.
After my bite and jaw were back in their correct position, my dentist now removed all of “Dr.” Jay’s permanent crowns and replaced them with comfortable and functional crowns, which is when we found out "Dr." Jay had fraudulently billed our insurance for work he did NOT perform. My current dentist’s #1 priority was getting rid of my pain and restoring my health, and if not for my dentist, “Dr.” Jay would have killed me just from the chronic physical and emotional stress he caused to me from the unbearable state he kept me.
I now gave a letter to “Dr.” Jay telling him I had proof he had been lying to me about my medical condition and purposefully keeping me in pain with his harmful splints and crowns. Edmund Jay, who was so sure he would get away with defrauding and torturing me because he thought I would never find a dentist to correctly diagnose me and then reverse the backwards position he kept me, now left a 2nd message where he nervously rambles on and sheepishly and falsly claims he “stands behind his work”, he wants to settle this matter quietly/privately and he made statements that prove he knew he was NOT therapeutically treating me, that he only took me as a patient for the money.
“Dr.” Jay told me he makes lots of money from insurance companies for testifying against dentists he states under oath, are unethical, dishonest, greedy and who have purposefully and gravely harmed patients for profits. He stated dentists have been forced to surrender their license because of his testimony and while he was falsely testifying against these dentists, he was medically torturing me.
“Dr.” Jay also told me that the malpractice insurance companies and their lawyers lie, falsify and hide evidence, that they drag out cases because they hope patients DIE so the insurance companies do not have to compensate them for the harm their dentist caused, that this system is set-up to protect dentists and screw patients, etc.
Because “Dr.” Jay is only about money, he also kept pressuring/harassing me to do free PR for him, write reviews, do a testimonial, etc., from which he would profit by countless thousands of dollars, which is unprofessional conduct. My refusal to do free PR/LIE for him also factored into his refusal to remake his harmful crowns as he had promised us and which he is LEGALLY obligated to do for me.
As the Honorable Attorney General involved in a case where dentists were found criminally liable for harming patients for profit stated, dentists take an oath to do no harm and NOTHING is worse than dentists taking advantage of patients’ trust and then harming these patients for profit.
It is an international war crime to torture enemy combatants, thus, it is a far worse crime when “Dr.” Jay, a prosthodontist/medical examiner tortured me/his patient. Dentists are NEVER above the law and it is a special circumstance when they use their medical training to harm/abuse their patients.
Briefly, in “treating” my husband; “Dr.” Jay double charged our insurance company for the same work; he lied about a loose filling and he purposefully chipped a tooth and charged our insurance company to fix this. "Dr." Jay said there was decay under a crown, so he had to pull this tooth, do an implant, etc. and that this would cost $10,000.00. But when we told “Dr.” Jay he had made this crown he changed his story and now said there was not any decay under this crown.
Our current dentist did find decay under this crown that “Dr.” Jay made and all our dentist had to do was remove this decay and it ONLY cost $215.00, not the $10,000.00 that "Dr." Edmund Jay tried to scam from us. Thus, there was NOT any reason for "Dr." Jay to pull this tooth, but because he is so dishonest and greedy, he tried to deceive my husband into pulling his healthy tooth, make an implant, etc., which also would have caused unnecessary and needless pain and discomfort to my husband, just so he could profiteer by $10,000.00. "Dr." Jay also tried to deceive $6,000.00 from us and our insurance company when he falsely told my husband he had to redo 2 perfectly functional crowns and put bonding on 6 teeth, which our dentist said were also unnecessary and overtreatment.
Section 4: “TMJ, Biggest Medical Fraud in History and Dentistry’s Hottest Area of Out-and-Out Quackery”; TMJ treatment is just a BIG money making racket.
In February of 2009, it was stated in the New York Times, “TMJ, the Biggest Medical Fraud in History, just Ripe for an Investigation” and a past director of Scientific Affairs for the American Dental Association, ADA, described TMJ as “dentistry’s hottest area of unorthodoxy and out-and-out quackery”.
To this day, the ADA, state dental boards or any other dental organization has refused to stop this out-and-out quackery that is destroying millions of human lives every year. Therefore, these boards and dental organizations are wholly responsible for this sadistic racket perpetrated by dentists on patients with a medical condition our federal government classifies to be a disability.
The biggest medical fraud in history and dentistry’s hottest area of unorthodoxy and out-and-out quackery is “hotter” than ever and rages on with impunity because of the BILLIONS of dollars it generates for greedy dentists. “Dentists sardonically call the TMJ joint, “The Money Joint” and state “treating TMJ is one way to increase, revitalize and inflation proof your practice”. Dental journals also praise treating TMJ “as a sure way to inflation proof your practice and ensure a healthy financial retirement” Dentists promoting using the victims of a federally classified disability as personal cash cows to ensure they have a healthy financial retirement is a CRIME and this is what Edmund Jay did to me and he has done this to other TMD patients who trusted him.
The 30+ million who suffer with a TMJ disorder are not cash cows, they are Americans who have a debilitating medical condition. Whether like me, it was caused by an incompetent dentist and his too large and too high crowns, or from jaw imperfections, an injury to their face, etc., dentists must always ethically treat TMD patients, not defraud and abuse them to “inflation proof their practice.”
Section 5: Laws, regulations and rules dentists are legally mandated to follow.
The American Dental Association, ADA and the American College of Dentists, ACA state dentists must be ethical, honest have integrity and always put their patient’s best interest before profits, that they must never harm patients, etc. Dentists must legally adhere to these rules that are derived from Federal and State laws that make it illegal to defraud, harm, injure, abuse, exploit, etc. human beings for personal gain/profits.
Standards of Ethical Conduct
1. Dentists shall be dedicated to providing competent oral health services with compassion and respect for human dignity.
2. Dentists shall be honest with patients and colleagues and appropriately report those who are deemed to be incompetent or engaged in fraud or deception.
3. Dentist shall respect the rights of patients, colleagues other health professional and society.
4. Dentists shall continue to study, apply and seek truth in the advancement of scientific knowledge and to make relevant information available to patients, colleagues and society.
5. Dentists shall possess PERSONAL and PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY and act as TRUSTWORTHY citizens. (Proof dentists are prohibited from being dishonest, unethical, and greedy and “selling” unnecessary, defective or harmful products and/or services, over treat, harm, injure and exploit patients for personal gain/profits.)
Core Values
1.Beneficence = dentists MUST always act in the patients’ best interest.
2.Compassion = RELIEVING the pain and suffering of patients.
3.Competence = COMPETENCE is the just expectation of patients.
4.Integrity = dentists are REQUIRED to act with HONOR and DECENCY.
5.Professionalism = again, dentists MUST always act in the best interest of their patient.
6.Veracity = HONESTY or TRUTH TELLING is the bedrock of a TRUSTING dentist/patient relationship.
In treating me, “Dr.” Edmund Jay violated all Standards of Ethical Conduct and Core Values, he violated international laws, he violated federal laws and he violated state laws.
Laws, rules and regulations mandate that dentists/health care providers are ALWAYS legally obligated to never harm or abuse patients for profit or otherwise. If a dentist defrauded you or they harmed or injured you or defrauded your insurance company, please contact me, I would like to hear from you.
