Suspension(suspended from practice)· 4 months
The GDC tribunal decided that dentist Suraj Vatish's fitness to practise was impaired by misconduct and suspended him for four months, with immediate effect and a review. The Professional Conduct Committee found he failed to obtain informed consent before reopening a baby's tongue-tie and lip-tie wounds, handled the parents' complaint defensively without an apology, and acted dishonestly by making a refund conditional on removing a negative review.
