While some people prefer to try to try and leave politics out of their personal lives, when political beliefs overlap with professional services, things can get a little tricky.
For instance, one mom recently expressed shock and dismay after finding out her therapist was a very enthusiastic MAGA supporter.
Not all professionals advertise their political beliefs to their patients or clients, but Dr. Harleen Grewal, a dentist from California, went viral after delivering a speech in which she publicly joked about making dental procedures for her Democratic patients more painful.
Dr. Grewal spoke publicly at a Republican meeting and joked about 'cutting back' on laughing gas for certain patients.
One of the dental offices Dr. Grewal owns describes her as having a 'compassionate approach' and being at the 'forefront' of public health initiatives, especially during COVID-19.
Dr. Grewal also owns Skyline Smiles, a pediatric dental practice in California, which she names in the video clip, as well as Mind Body Infusion, a med-spa she owns with her husband, Yuvraj Grewal, MD.
People reported that Dr. Grewal said she had been fully investigated and cleared by the California Dental Board, and claimed that the video clip was only spread to ‘cancel’ her.
“Why can’t we just take a joke lightheartedly?” the dentist added.
