Although he is kind and fatherly like a Grandpa, his prices go up every year and the staff has failed to tell me when I make my yearly appointment. I go to pay, and surprise, surprise, it's higher than the previous year; not the tooth work, the doctor's fee.
A couple years ago, he told me I had eleven cavities due to calcium loss from pregnancy. He showed me the x-rays and asked, "See these cavities?" I said no I did not, the tooth looked solidly white. I went to another dentist, the new one said I only had 7. Dr. Rathgeber often recommends work that does not need to be done. This is dishonest, in my opinion.
