They said she was constantly late or changing appointments ~ sent her a registered letter requesting her to find a new dentist!!!! How about that? We, on the other hand, can wait and wait till they get done with their previous patient! My son walked out of a drs. office after a two hour wait and told the receptionist that 'my time is valuable, too ~ I run a business and can sit here for 2 hours' and wait to see him. He never went back! It's a crazy world out there anymore!

That didn't include x-rays which I refused because they had been done last year. And she pushed hard for the x-rays let me tell you!<br /> And she wants us to come back again in 6 months. I don't think so!

They are money-grubbing assholes. I used to tell her that they were gouging people to pay for the villa in the Caribbean, and I wasn't far off. They bought Frogmore Estates here in town, which is a million dollar property. They are moving the dental office there. So yeah, they are charging obscene prices to live pretty high on the hog. <br /><br />You did the right thing to tell them off.

When I got home I checked the time her call came in and it was 2:27PM, not 2:30. So she made the call 7 only minutes after my appointment, not even 10 minutes.<br /><br />My husband said that I did the right thing to refuse rescheduling and to cancel my August appointment. <br /><br />My old dentist is a sweetheart but this new Dentist who bought into his practice is just a money grabbing *$&@#***.
