Full breach record for BRANDON AU, DDS, INC. D/B/A NEW VISION DENTAL

Regulator's decision — not a breach notification

This record is a regulator's decision, not the organisation's own breach notice. Breach-notification fields (discovery date, notification clock) are structurally absent — what this source establishes is the outcome and the provisions the decision cites.

HHS OCR settled with Brandon Au, DDS, Inc. d/b/a New Vision Dental (a California dental practice) over impermissible disclosures of patient PHI on its Yelp business page. The practice responded to patient reviews with detailed health information, failed to maintain a proper Notice of Privacy Practices, and lacked social media policies. The settlement requires a $23,000 payment, removal of postings, breach notifications to affected individuals, and implementation of a Corrective Action Plan including workforce training and updated policies.

Source ceiling

  • instrument + outcome
  • amount as filed (USD)
  • CFR provisions
  • the breach it recites
  • discovery date
  • notification clock

The dates the agreement recites belong to the underlying breach, years earlier, and are kept as evidence of WHICH breach rather than as this record’s timeline.
