This is a great thread with lots of great information from everyone. It just so happens that I have my problems with dentists too. I had been going to Sunshine Dental for several years because of their reasonable prices and I liked the hygienist because she was able to work with me not being able to tolerate being in a flat position for cleaning. I have a problem with positional dizzyness.
I had to pay out-of-pocket, but didn't mind, because, over the years, I didn't like any of the dentists that were connected with my HMOs. But now the problem is: My hygienist went to another office in Clermont. When I showed up for my appointment I was surprised to find a new hygienist and she demanded that I get xrays and an exam before I could get my teeth cleaned.
Well, that suits them just fine but not me. I was planing to switch to Dr Fisher (Ha!) because I just switched to Preferred Care Parteners. I didn't want xrays and exam if I would be going to another dentist in January. So they said I couldn't get my teeth cleaned and I ended up walking out. Thankfully, there was no charge for that visit.
Now, thanks to this thread, I have learned that Dr. Fisher may not be a good choice. So where do I go from here? This is getting complicated.
