The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that the defamation lawsuit filed by J&D Dental in Minneapolis and its CEO, Dr. Jennifer Herbert, against patient Liya Hou could proceed. Before the negative reviews were posted, Hou underwent two tooth fillings and a crown at J&D Dental. J&D Dental questioned this, asked for more information, and discussed possible remedies for the situation. Eventually, the dental practice offered to refund Hou’s insurance company for the dental work she received if the patient released J&D Dental from all claims of liability. In these reviews, Hou claimed that the dentist damaged three of her teeth, which led to more serious dental problems.
