Michigan clinic abruptly closes, leaving denture patient stranded

A former patient of the now shuttered Muskegon (Mich.) Family Clinic is struggling to finish her dental treatment plan, according to FOX17.

Tabatha Price has been visiting the clinic for the past two months to replace her dentures that broke. She has undergone new moldings and the necessary scans. She told FOX17 that she was supposed to visit Muskegon Family Clinic on Feb. 24 for her final impression.

However, when she visited the clinic's dental center, she was informed that she would need to see a different dentist. Other patients have found out that the clinic is closing through Facebook.

Ms. Price claims that the practice will not transfer her molds to another dentist, meaning she would need to start the entire process over again. Although she is covered under Medicaid, the insurer allegedly told Ms. Price they would not pay for the dentures again.

Muskegon Family Clinic did not immediately respond for comment to FOX17.
