Michael Hasson, DDS, was convicted of 24 counts in connection to the sexual abuse of at least 19 patients.

Dr. Hasson’s dental license was suspended in 2019 after the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners said it had probable cause to believe Dr. Hasson “engaged in criminal activity causing harm to patients during treatment.” His license expired in 2020.
