More Plaintiffs Sue League City Dentist Amanda Hoover Over Dental Work
After Mark and Lisa Deel learned in December 2015 that Dr. Amanda Hoover had allegedly performed painful, unnecessary dental work on their son Noah — work other dentists reviewing the case contend has caused permanent damage to a number of Noah's teeth — the family decided to sue Hoover, as we recounted in our cover story last year.
Initially, the Deel family thought they were the only ones who had gone through this. However, since they filed suit against Hoover in Galveston County District Court last August for damages and medical malpractice, a number of people have come forward with similar stories about questionable treatment from Hoover, according to court records.
This has prompted Jim Moriarty, the lawyer representing the Deel family, to amend the lawsuit, expanding it to include more plaintiffs claiming that they received faulty or unnecessary dental work from Hoover. Court records allege that Hoover used "a combination of the same tricks and techniques to get these plaintiffs to agree to extensive and invasive dental work, and to pay her large sums of money for that work immediately."
Hoover has answered all of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit with a general denial, according to court records.
