The Washington Dental Quality Assurance Commission and Kuzi Hsue, DDS, entered into an agreed order on his dental license.
In December 2021, Dr. Hsue extracted 20 teeth from a patient's mouth instead of the six that was agreed upon with the patient. Dr. Hsue did not acknowledge his mistake, did not have complete or accurate patient records, and did not provide post-op instructions to the patient, according to a March 27 news release from the Washington State Department of Health.
Per the agreement, Dr. Hsue must allow unannounced audits of his patient records, pay a $5,000 fine, pass a jurisprudence exam and complete 34 hours of continuing education.
In addition, he must also obtain a professional assessment and submit to the recommendations. Dr. Hsue must also participate in a behavioral health resource program, the release said.
