Shevchuk was taken into custody on August 23 and charged with 40 points for dental practice without a license, three points for writing illegal prescriptions and, ultimately, harming those who trusted her in dangerous situations, writes The Daily Mail.

On Thursday, an 47-year-old woman was taken into custody after her home in Pallding district and her office in Marietta were searched, and investigators seized the boxes with documents and a computer from her office. She was arrested with bail for 5 thousand US dollars.

“The defendant practiced dentistry without a license, cast, installed and seated a crown in the mouth of Sylvia Ferguson,” says the warrant for her arrest.

After the first arrest, several victims claimed injuries in the hands of an unreal dentist. The current County Dental Services CEO is also accused of fraud, including insurance, and was arrested two weeks ago, after which he was released on bail.

David Marsh described his abscess the size of a tennis ball after visiting Krista Shevchuk, whom he came to remove two teeth and perform a dental cleaning.

“My cheek was about the size of a tennis ball, and the swelling was blocking my throat,” Marsh told reporters. - It was difficult to swallow. My wife took me to the emergency room and they said that I urgently needed to go to the hospital for an emergency operation. There they removed the abscess, inserted a tube into the mouth, brought it out through the neck so that all this could be drained. ”

Shevchuk had no right to install or replace crowns, put fillings, prescribe drugs, but she did it all. Jimmy Berry, a woman’s attorney, did not respond to requests for clarification. The defendant, apparently, has experience in conducting illegal medical business throughout the country, sometimes she performed operations at home with clients.

While she was technically not allowed to work as a dentist, the Georgia Department of Health, the state medical board, and the state secretary’s office, without receiving any evidence of her license, allowed her to do business with hired medical professionals.

“The company is solely a business service organization, which means we are not involved in dentistry or in decisions between dentist and patient,” explains the County Dental Providers website. “Our affiliate dentists spend most of their time with patients providing high quality care, and our highly trained business professionals manage the business aspects.”

Shevchuk received the first warning, after which, according to Senior Assistant District Attorney Matthew Rollins, left the charges because her husband was a deputy sheriff. This led to a conflict of interest in prosecution. But even this did not prevent her from opening another office in Marietta in 2017.

When CBS asked her if she denied the allegations, Shevchuk replied, “Yes.”

In the last clinic, the doors were closed for free entry - patients could get inside after ringing the door. While the report says the number of complaints may increase as people begin to share their experiences, one person praised the clinic and said he had a good tooth extraction. But it is not yet clear whether the defendant herself did this.

“There are numerous new victims that are under investigation now, and we will have to monitor all of these statements to determine if they should be resubmitted to a grand jury,” Rollins continued. "The investigation will continue as data becomes available."
