Parents accuse dentist of malpractice in treatment of son

Medical malpractice 09

GALVESTON — Two Galveston County parents are suing a League City dentist, alleging malpractice in the treatment of their son. 

Lisa Deel and Mark Deel, individually and as next friends of a minor, filed a lawsuit Aug. 2, in Galveston County District Court against Amanda Hoover alleging violation of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that as a result of Hoover's unnecessary dental treatment of their teenage son in 2015, they have expended large amount of money and their son needs invasive, painful and a more expensive dental treatment and will have to deal with a lifetime of dental problems.. 

The plaintiffs allege Hoover breached her duty to act as a reasonable dentist would have under similar circumstances. They also say a member of Hoover's staff offered Mark Deel margarita drinks as his son was being treated. 

The Deels seek a trial by jury, all actual damages, pre- and post judgment interest, costs of suit and all relief to which they are entitled. They are represented by attorney James R. Moriarty of Houston.
