Harleen Grewal, a dentist at Skyline Smiles in Santa Clarita, has found herself at the center of controversy after a video of her going viral online showed her jokingly making patients who don’t support US President Donald Trump undergo more painful treatments.
The video, recorded at the Republican Freedom Gala, showed her wearing a hat that read “make your smile great again,” a reference to the popular MAGA slogan. Patients angered by her photos and Republican leaders were told to leave her office abruptly.
After the video went viral, her Yelp account was suspended and she was forced to delete her videos online. Grewal defended herself, saying her comments were just a joke and that the California Dental Board investigated and cleared her of wrongdoing.
However, the controversy has sparked a broader debate about medical ethics and how politics can affect the doctor-patient relationship. Grewal complained that he had been subjected to "cancellation" from the public, although he insisted that he had received an award for best pediatric dentist from a local magazine.
