A member asked:

I'm waiting on a 2nd opinion whether i have a certain cancer tumor diagnosis here in florida. could my trusted general and specialist dentists drop me as a patient when it has to do with my stomach and i have no balance at their offices?

The ethical and functional rules regarding patient release/dismissal vary by state. As long as the required notifications/ timeline is followed, physicians/dentists can drop patients as they choose. Contact your state Dental Board for information about their rules.

Not sure why your dentist and dental specialists would dismiss you as a patient based on the information you provided. That being said, patients can be dismissed with proper notice, and the rules vary from state to state.
