What can I do about a local ENT who continually misdiagnoses/misses obvious H&N/ Oral cancer? This is not just an anomaly. Our Wellness Community group for HNC meets once a month, and every month there is a new story about this guy, how he misdiagnosed cancer, calling it GERD or something and prescribing the purple pill?

A friend of mine died a few years back after being misdiagnosed by this guy. He had tonsil cancer and the ENT told him he had acid reflux. My friend got sicker and sicker and finally went to a legitimate ENT who actually looked down his throat , biopsied and gave him the news.

This local quack is killing people. How can we stop him?
