He charged $190 for x-rays, an exam, and to temporarily recement a crown onto a tooth that he said I would have to have pulled and replaced with a bridge or an implant. As it turns out, I do not need to have the tooth pulled. He also insisted on speaking to my internist rather than believing what I said about which antibiotics I'm allergic to and which ones I can take, something I've kept track of all my life. Lastly, I was required to apply for special dental credit in the amount of $4,000 to cover the work he said he needed to do before scheduling an appointment -- something I had no intention of doing :-)-- rather than the normal way of paying as I go. I left there very unhappy. The next mornng I called to request my x-rays because I need them right away, but they didn't arrive. I called to see what happened but got a recording and no return call. I was worried that I'd have to have a second set of x-rays taken; so I stopped payment on my check and will issue one again as soon as I receive the x-rays if they get here sometime soon. It's not like they trust me; so why should I trust them? People can charge whatever they want, but $190 seemed really high to me and to the couple of friends that I asked about this
