A Florida children's dentist accused of needlessly pulling children's teeth, and running a real-life "house of horrors" that included performing procedures without anesthetic agreed on May 22, 2015 to relinquish his license.

Dr. H. Schneider of Jacksonville is the target of multiple medical malpractice lawsuits as enraged parents have been picketing outside of his pediatric dental office in recent weeks.

As the number of victims continues to grow, Florida officials have launched an investigation into Dr. Schneider's practice, and according to attorneys, the state is working to shut him down.

In November of 2014, one mother took her 2-year-old son, Mason to Schneider after he fell off a bike and cracked his two front teeth. When the boy came out of Schneider's office, he was missing four teeth and his mother was never consulted.

On a follow-up visit, the boy emerged from Shneider's office with bruises around his neck, gauze around his lower teeth, and a scalpel slice from ear to ear on his gum. The boy's mother is among dozens of plaintiffs suing Schneider in a complaint filed by Attorney Gus Sarris.

Another mother took her daughter to have one tooth extracted, but when the procedure was over, she had seven teeth pulled.

Indigent Children Were Regularly Assaulted

According to Sarris' complaint, he said that what appeared from the outside to be an unremarkable pediatric dentistry office, was a house of horrors on this inside, where the most defenseless members of society, indigent children, were regularly assaulted.

Since Schneider was the only pediatric dentist in all of Jacksonville who took Medicaid, his practice drew poorer patients, according to the lawsuit.

The parents of his patients said that he performed unnecessary tooth extractions without anesthetic, and that their children would receive cuts and bruises on their necks after visiting him.

Schneider has been accused of wearing scary costumes and threatening to kill children's mothers if they "told" anyone.
