5: Board revokes Chesapeake dentist’s license for ‘dangerous’ care after lifting previous revocation
Board of Dentistry allowed dentist with ‘negligent and dangerous’ history to practice
News 3 investigator Jessica Larché confronted dentist Derrick Broadaway on May 17 in Henrico just moments after the Virginia Board of Dentistry voted to revoke his license to practice dentistry in Virginia.
The revocation marked the second time the board had taken the rare action against Broadaway after voting to lift his 2014 revocation in 2019. This, despite public records documenting what the board characterized as the dentist’s history of “negligent and dangerous patient care”— a history Jessica began exposing and investigating 12 years ago.
