The McHenry office [of orthodontist Daryl Ashbeck] was closed early Friday afternoon, with the lights out and the shades half-drawn.
Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation show that Ashbeck’s dental license was suspended March 9, because Ashbeck failed an alcohol test he agreed to take as a condition of getting his license back in November 2008.
Ashbeck also is facing a felony forgery charge in McHenry County for allegedly forging a prescription for Tussionex, which includes an antihistamine and hydrocodone. He allegedly presented the fake prescription on a Rockford dentist’s pad at a Crystal Lake drug store in February, local court records show.
A failure to notify patients could be viewed as patient abandonment and could cause a new case to be brought against a dentist, Hofer said. That new case ultimately could lead to a fine or losing the license altogether.
