I am thinking about Coast Dental in Ocala, or Wildwood Dental. Does anyone have experience with either of these practices? There's also a Dr. Fischer on Sumter Landing and Dr. Brignol.

I hear that the dentists down here often really push extra services.

Thanks for any info you can provide.
The Villages Health system and United Health Care are essentially one and the same, so you can't love one and not the other. When it comes to HMO dental networks they are all pretty much the same. They provide cheap "bait 'n' switch" service and the service is generally provided by dentists who are willing to cut their rates to the bone because they are desperate for business.
