I left my old dentist because he treated me like an object and not a human being. He barely says anything to me during my visit. And he jerks my mouth around without being gentle. And he never shows me my x-rays unless I ask. Needless to say, he is history.
I once went to a Chiropractor like that after an auto accident. Had me go through just about any test he could bill insurance and get paid for and always parked his Porsche out in front of his office. Nothing wrong with getting paid well for what you do, but you don’t have to rub it in your patients faces.
It’s a shame that more professionals don’t realize that how they treat their patients is a large part of marketing their business and losing one patient like you probably cost them thousands over the lifetime you could’ve been a patient.
Oh well - their loss and hopefully you found a much better new dentist.
