Dentist Todd Shatkin’s History of Stalking

Dentist Todd Shatkin’s has a history of predatory and stalking behavior, which includes calling, texting and putting a GPS tracker on one victim’s car before confronting her in-person.

The victim reported that she was driving on a busy road, having just left a grocery store she regularly visits. Dentist Todd Shatkin suddenly appeared in a red convertible Mercedes in front of her. The victim recognized both the car and the driver because the top was down. While stopped at the light, directly in front of her, he began singing and gesticulating like he wanted to draw attention to himself. When the light changed, Dr. Shatkin proceeded towards her home, while driving in front of her car.

At this point, the victim became angry and tried to catch up to Shatkin. He sped up and kept ahead of her – not too far ahead though, as he seemingly wanted to stay within her point of view. All the sudden, he turned left onto a quiet suburban street.

The victim reports that there were three more similar incidents where the predator would suddenly appear in traffic in front of her and then speed away after allowing her to follow him for a bit. The victim also reports that she saw his car parked in the bushes on a busy street as she was passing by – perhaps waiting to pass her later. This time, however, she made a series of turns to circle back and the car was gone from its hiding place.

On another occasion, an employee the victim recognized from Dr. Shatkin’s office approached her in the grocery store. The employee was allegedly sent by Shatkin to ask the victim to reconsider being with him.

Also, the victim has reported that on several occasions she has seen Todd Shatkin driving very slowly through the parking lot at her gym, staring at her through the windows. The gym has large floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides of the building, and the treadmills and ellipticals – the machines the victim uses the most – are all front-facing and right up to the windows.

Dr. Shatkin also continued to text the victim regularly, asking to speak with her on the phone and meet with him. This continued for years.

The victim reported these incidents to the police, who contacted Dentist Todd Shatkin and told him if these incidents continued, then the victim could apply for a restraining order. That did stop him.

As one last grasp for attention, he had an employee and former Orchard Park police officer “visit” the victim’s LinkedIn page six or eight times in a 2 hour period. Someone listed as “anonymous” from Shatkin’s office did the same.

The victim then posted this review on Yelp:

“Todd Shatkin is a blatant, malicious predator. He predates primarily on patients and employees in a highly manipulative and sociopathic manner.   He stalked and harassed me for years and so I speak from experience; he will cry, he will tell you his wife beats him (broke her hand hitting him, he despises her but lives in abject fear, on and on).  He would say things like he simply “had no explanation” as to why the universe was working wondrous magic bringing us together.  (I was a patient.)

There are upstanding, far superior providers to choose from. Choose wisely.”  

Shatkin used his influence to have the review removed.


Another employee had this to say about working for Dr. Shatkin.

“Dr Shatkin is a completely morally depraved individual.

I am aware as a past employee that he had sex with multiple female employees while he was married and even had sex with female course participants be they staff members of guest doctors and even female doctors who attended his courses while he was still married.

I overheard he and male staff members speaking inappropriately about his exploits with hookers in Las Vegas and his mistress Chelese sharing naked photos and videos of her and masturbating,  that he inappropriately shared this content on his phone around the office staff.

Please keep up the good fight and stop this narcissistic and abusive individual. Reach out to Dr Diana Rodrigues of Union City NJ about her experience being undressed in her hotel room by Shatkin as a married mother of 2 and current President of his dental club and how Shatkin employs her husband Rodman Rodrigues but he is unaware of this tryst and fling! And how shatkin mocks him calling him “Mrs. Rodrigues.”

Todd Shatkin’s erratic and violent behavior goes beyond stalking and harassment. There are stories from patients, male and female, who were unhappy with the results. When they voiced these concerns to Todd Shatkin, he started shouting and gesticulating. He berates the person, begins insulting them, and moves in ways that imply a physical threat. They fear he will hit them. With one woman patient, he took her false teeth out and held them, so she couldn’t speak, while he verbally accosted her and then handed them back as he stormed out of the room.
