I am in PA, I've had major dental work (full mouth restoration worth a nice car) done a few months ago.
The doctor who did the job has taken pictures of my teeth before and after and published online on their website, with my consent. That doctor is in Costa Rica, if that matters.
Now I stumbled across these same pictures in a "gallery" on a totally unrelated website of some dental clinic in New York City. Clearly the pictures were stolen.
I feel bad because I let my doctor to benefit from the pictures of the work he had done, by posting in his portfolio of work. The way this NYC shop is presenting all the "before and after" doesn't list explicitly it's their work, but is clearly misleading any of their prospective patient. I've spent many hours online browsing such galleries before I made a decision to go with my doctor and I detest these scam techniques when they steal someone else's work and use it to attract clients.
I'm looking to a) have the NYC clinic to remove my dental pictures from their website, b) have them remove any other pictures that are not theirs, and if feasible, c) have them take a lesson where they pay some damages.
Any suggestions how to approach?
Thanks.
