Dr. Nicholas Laudati - North Country Smiles - Dentist Nick Laudati Dr. Laudati PARALYZED HALF OF MY FACE! Smithtown New York
I have just moved to a new area and went to a new doc. This new doc was easy to find on Google and I thought he had a professional appearing website. I was referred to a Charles Laudati by a co-worker. However, I learned that the doctor I went to was his son. Dr. Nicholas Laudati... assuming that he would be just as good was where I went wrong.
Since I had to see the hygenist Dr. Laudati had to inject me with Novacaine to numb the areas. This guy got a little happy with the injections and I wound up losing my smile. Dr. Laudati PARALYZED HALF OF MY FACE! I was hoping that it was just the swelling and numbness that was causing my face to react like this. However as time went by my numbness never disappeared, but my smile did.
I have learned from a neurologist that I am now permanently paralyzed in half of my face. How sad for me to have to turn my face if I want to smile and not seem like I am sneering at people.
I am extremely embarrassed and very sad that I chose this guy against my best judgement. I am taking solace in writing this (though it is painful to fully accept that this is my face for the rest of my life) and am hoping that someone will think twice about seeing Dr. Nicholas Laudati prior to accepting any treatment from him.
When I contacted the Doctor and emailed him photos of my paralyzed face, he first claimed that the numbness would resolve itself in less than 2 weeks. I can't believe I had to reminded him that my appointment was over 2 weeks ago. "Family and community dentist" my you-know-what!!!
He then emailed me saying I might want to look into facial fillers or Botox to be injected to other areas of my face to "even out my smile". NO thanks!!! What a crock!

My name is Dr. Nicholas Laudat I did not nor have I ever "paralyzed" anyone's smile. This Forum allows anyone to anonymously trash anyone...I welcome my accuser to post their name so all can see.. I welcome anyone who reads this to contact the ADA, the office of Professional Discipline, The Suffolk Counrty Dental Society and my Malpractice carrier to find out if any claim against me has been filed.... I will personally give out the contact numbers..This is trully a cowards way to slander an otherwise spotless reputation for his or her own childish reasons....

This complaint is a Hoax...I welcome the person who wrote it to contact me and or profide proof that you were a patient of my Practice including insurance claims and or billing statements. Facial Paralysis is a serios matter and if there is permanent paraylsis I would have expected to hear back from this person if not their Nuerologist or even an Attorney..Presently no one has contacted me in any shape or form The complaint mentions an email exchange. can this person show proof of these emails? or a note from this Nuerologist? This is a serious accusation and I suggest to whomever wrote it to come forward in a proper way so I can expose you for the Liar that you are.
