Possible Doctor Impersonator! Need help from Harvard and U Washington Students

[Leozby]

I've got a situation I can best describe as a "Catch Me If You Can" ( Leonardo DiCaprio movie) meets "Tiger King". I need help with identification of an individual who worked briefly at my office who I think is totally insane, impersonating a dentist whose identity he stole, or both. He had trouble getting tooth numbers correct, didn't seem to know the differences between local anesthetics, came up with a bunch of wild treatment plans and very possibly involved in other more malicious activities. He claims to have graduated from the University of Washington dental school in 2003 and the Harvard Prosthodontic Residency program in 2007. I really need someone at both Universities to find the yearbooks or similar physical student publications with photographs of the graduating students so that I can confirm or deny his identity, and alert the authorities if indicated. Please message me if you are willing to help. I'm happy to offer compensation.

I dont have any of that information, but post an update if you ever figure it out. That sounds crazy lol

What state was he working in? You know you can just look up dental licenses online, right?

I’d reach out first to the prosthodontics program at Harvard. Their class size would be super small.

You can’t drop a bomb like this and then not keep us updated. So, let us know what you find out.

I have confirmed someone of the name is recorded as a graduate of both programs and has an active license in my state, but I'm concerned my individual has stolen the identity of the actual doctor. I have spoken on the phone with a dean and a program director at Harvard, neither of which recognized the photo of my individual, but has been many years and many students ago. I had a Harvard medical residency grad log in to Harvard's digital record and the photo did identify the person working at my office, but the whole situation has been so ridiculous I wouldn't be surprised if he hired someone to hack into the digital archives and swap out the photo. His online presence is very strange including an alter ego on social media, photos of different individuals on Linkedin that seem to link to the same profile, and one photo licensed for sale of him dressed as a dentist in the military on a strange website. I won't be satisfied until I have seen actual physical evidence from a yearbook or have spoken to a classmate of his. I attempted to get a full list of all the residents from the Harvard prosthodontic residency program in 2007 so that I could attempt to contact them for photo identification, but this request was denied. I have contacted the Harvard medical library archives to request help in locating a photo of him from the 2006-2007 yearbook, but can only contact them through email and have not received a response. I've had even less success getting what I need from the University of Washington's dental school. I would really appreciate it if someone from both of the two schools could locate a yearbook to help me with identification. Thanks so much!

If you post his name there's enough of us who will be immediately invested in this to do an FBI's worth of digital analysis. I realize doing so would doxx yourself but you'd probs have a definitive answer within 24 hours.

I remember the story of the guy in Florida who faked being a doctor for weeks (months?) and literally wore a white coat around the hospital. I don't know that he was ever "hired" or paid in any sense and sadly because it's Florida this apparently is such a common occurence I can't find the new article

I suggest private messaging/conversation with the moderators of this section of the forums, and include those (privately) in Dental Residents and Practicing Dentists .
