BISMARCK, N.D. - A Bismarck oral surgeon accused of pulling wrong teeth, starting procedures without enough sedation and yanking so hard on surgical stitches that she ripped them from a patient's mouth, has been suspended from practicing medicine.
The North Dakota Board of Medical Examiners issued an emergency ex parte suspension for Dr. Mansureh Iravani on Friday. Iravani is a dentist and doctor in solo practice at the Oral Surgery Center of Bismarck.
She says the allegations are mostly false and cooked up by disgruntled former employees.
Iravani closed her practice Tuesday. It will remain closed until her April 13 hearing which is the earliest her license could be reinstated. She says she plans to bring patients and former employees as witnesses on her side at the hearing.
