Kenneth Wilstead, known as Dr. Kenny Smiles on social media, said in an email to NBC News that he has "staff who help handle my social media.”
Last year, a patient of Wilstead’s sued him for medical malpractice, claiming he touched her inappropriately. A jury trial is scheduled for the case, according to a 14th District Court docket. A spokesperson for Meta said it removed two of Wilstead’s videos on Instagram after receiving a request for comment from NBC News, saying the videos violated the platform’s community guidelines. The spokesperson also said that, after reviewing Wilstead’s account, it has placed him on a short-term ban from using Instagram Live, citing repeated rule-breaking.
You took my most vulnerable moment and one I would never post online, and that was supposed to be funny?At first, Peaco received a message that said Wilstead would respond to her shortly. Then she received a follow-up message that appeared to be from Wilstead himself, in which he explained he would be traveling to potential patient’s homes to decide if they were right for his show. NBC News has reviewed the messages.
After posting her video, Timmerman realized that Wilstead followed her on Instagram. She sent him a direct message asking if he had seen her video and apologized for being an “ugly crier.” A response from Wilstead’s verified account, which has been viewed by NBC News, reads, “Just wanted to have sex with you. It’s fine.”
The 2015 action stemmed from Wilstead prescribing controlled substances for nondental reasons, according toorder. Wilstead was required to pay a fine, take continued education courses and surrender his Drug Enforcement Administration and Department of Safety permits for controlled substances, among other punishments.
In a complaint dated Feb. 25, 2017, which was sent via email to the Texas Board of Dental Examiners in an email dated March 5, 2017, Moore claims Wilstead exploded at her after she came to his office worried about a dark spot on her teeth. Last year, Wilstead was sued for medical malpractice by a woman who alleged that he made inappropriate comments and groped her buttocks. She also alleged in the lawsuit that she saw photos taken of a different patient’s cleavage, according to the lawsuit. That case is ongoing. The plaintiff in the case declined to comment to NBC News.
