Posted on July 15, 2010 by Dissent

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s officials are warning that patients of Dr. Thomas K. Lee’s dental office are at risk of having their personal information compromised.

A tipster called the Sheriff’s Department on July 14 to advise deputies that boxes containing hundreds of personal records were left outside of Lee’s office.

The dentist’s office is at 912 East Main St. in Barstow. The deputy who investigated the report confirmed the records including patients’ names, addresses, birth dates, credit card numbers and Social Security numbers were outside of the building and accessible to the public.
