If the dentist can demonstrate that he/she is not qualified to provide the proper service needed by someone with a particular disability, it is legal. For example, if a person required sedation, and the dentist was not trained in sedation, he could refer the patient to someone that was qualified. If the patient required care be provided in a hospital setting, and the dentist did not have hospital privileges, he could refuse.
On the other hand, if the patient simply arrives in a wheelchair, the dentist cannot refuse to treat on that basis alone. All dental offices are required by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) to be wheelchair accessible.

Can a Dr. refuse to treat a patient?
If it is not your family doctor, then yes. Most of the time it depends on what is wrong with you. For instance if you go to the hospital with a broken bone, they can't refuse to treat you. They have to treat you because it's a relative emergency. If you go to a doctor who isn't your family doctor because you have a cold, then they could possibly refuse to treat you.

Certainly. They are a business and have no obligation to allow anyone more credit. Most hospital emergency rooms are required to treat people with serious injuries only because they receive government funding.

What is a animal that is illegal for a vet to treat?
With my research I saw that many vets can treat any animal because there are many different kinds of vets. But any vet can refuse to treat an animal. For example. If your dog is sick, the vet can refuse to treat the dog because, unlike in human medicine, there is no legal requirement for treatment. The two most common reasons a veterinarian will refuse to treat an animal are lack of owner ability to pay for treatment and inexperience with the species or condition.
