Our specialist personal injury lawyers have particular experience in representing victims for cosmetic surgery claims ranging from breast augmentation, laser eye surgery, hair removal procedures, facial surgery, and many other forms of cosmetic procedures.

Statistics show that around 120,000 people have laser eye surgery in the UK each year, and NHS statistics show that less than 5% of people have any problems – so overall, laser eye surgery is generally deemed as safe.

Hundreds of the former patients of Desmond D’Mello who we act for have been giving our specialist Daybrook Dental Team a real insight in to what it was like as a former patient of the media dubbed ‘Dirty Dentist.’

Some are shocked and surprised that they have been let down by someone they called a friend; others say that they could “see it coming” given the nature of how he worked; others are frightened about being exposed to such dangerous blood-borne infections.

Winter is at an end and if you’re a regular driver on our roads at this time of year, you’ll know that the beginning of Spring is also known as Pothole season – and you’ll be using all your skills on the road to avoid becoming a victim of a pothole accident!

I’m sure many of you have noticed that they’ve sprung up all over the place. Anywhere that saw the snow over the Christmas period is likely to be worse affected.

Our specialist Daybrook Dental Negligence Team is now actively investigating these lines of enquiry.

It isn’t just what Desmond D’Mello has done that has had such a profound effect on the former patients of the Daybrook Practice – it is who he is, or was, that has had just as big of an impact.

‘Des’ as he was affectionately known by many wasn’t just the local dentist; he was a friend to the local community. For the former patients affected by his actions, the scandal has been made worse by the fact that they feel they have been ‘let down’ and ‘deceived’ by a man they once knew as a friend.
