ARLINGTON – Welcome to Edith “Eva” Aranda’s nightmare on 171st Street.

It hasn’t been a dream for Arlington dentist Janelle Gramson and her employees either the past 1 1/2 years.

And while part of the nightmare was settled in court earlier this month, it could continue.

For Aranda, what happened starting March 14, 2016 was scary; her description of her dental visit reads like Steve Martin’s role in “Little Shop of Horrors.”

To Gramson and her employees, Aranda seemed fine at that appointment and ones to follow. They are surprised by claims made later, Arlington police records show. Aranda said she was treated so badly at Arlington Family Dentistry that she felt she had to put the story on Facebook to warn others.

Gramson sued Aranda for defamation on June 9, 2016, and on Oct. 4 she won in Judge Ellen Fair’s Snohomish County Superior Courtroom.

Aranda was ruled in contempt and ordered to remove some of her comments from Facebook and pay attorney costs.

But words that weren’t redacted still explain what Aranda said happened.

In court papers, Aranda says, in part: “She was slipped roofies, or the “date rape drug,” then Gramson committed a three-hour violent crime against me. I have an ethical obligation to tell the public that my dentist and this office is not safe. She did the crown against my will. She put on a cracked crown that caused me a great deal of pain. She turned tooth No. 2 into an ugly tree stump without my permission. The dentist did three huge ugly fillings on the back tooth. Other dentists told me from x-rays that nothing was wrong with it. Please share my story. This is about public health and safety.”

On March 30, Arlington police came to the dentist’s office and took statements.

Gramson said Aranda said “OK” to the procedures. “Edith seemed normal during the appointment,” Gramson’s statement says. “Our operating rooms are open and at no time was Edith assaulted verbally or physically.”

Three of Gramson’s employees also gave witness statements to police. Ilce Mendoza, Kelsey Clark and Paula Koolstra all agreed with the dentist.

Koolstra said she had worked for Gramson for years and “never heard her yell at a patient.”

She added that she talked to Aranda for 20 minutes and “not once did Edith say she was assaulted in our office.”

Aranda, of Mukilteo, said she is waiting on more police reports before considering any further action. Arlington police say the reports should be available by Oct. 31 (Halloween).
