The GDC has assisted the Metropolitan Police to successfully prosecute a man for unlawfully practising dentistry. On Friday 25 October 2013 Young Jun Suh appeared at Hammersmith Magistrates' Court and pleaded guilty to unlawfully practising dentistry. He was fined £1000, ordered to pay a £100 victim surcharge and £85 towards costs.
Mr Suh was previously prosecuted by the GDC on 4 May 2011 for two counts of practising dentistry whilst not being registered, having previously been suspended by the GDC. As a consequence of this prosecution Mr Suh was erased from the register on 20 December 2011. On 13 January 2012 Mr Suh was prosecuted by the NHS and pleaded guilty to 28 counts of Fraud and Theft from the NHS totalling £109,000. He was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment and remains on licence until 13 January 2014.
The GDC subsequently received information that Mr Suh was seeing patients at Camberwell Dental Practice, 214 Coldharbour Lane, Brixton despite remaining unregistered and being on licence. As a result of this prosecution Mr Suh has been recalled to prison. It is anticipated that he will serve the remainder of his prison sentence which expires in February 2014.
