[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 514271, member: 1233"] Donna, I TOTALLY agree with you!! Esp about charging more if they think you have more. jess ran into a concrete pole at school a few years back and first we were told one amount. then I had to call my parents to loan us the money and the dentist tried to charge $200 MORE. He said he had given me a "break" because he thought we were broke, but since we had family to chip in, well, he had to charge the "full" amount. I called BS and got the usual and standard fee for my area for that service (you can find these online) and told him he was getting that much and nothing more because that was his CONTRACT with our insurance carrier. His contracted fee with the ins co was a full $100 less than the "giving you a break" amount that he asekd for. which means $300 less than the amt he wanted when he found we could borrow $ from my parents. Tlak about BS. We went to this guy because the dentist we had previously tried to file medical neglect charges because we refused to get braces for Wiz. Why did we refuse? He would nOT brush his teeth. not for weeks at a time. He would NOt take care of anything and said he would ifght and bite if anyone tried to put braces in his mouth. We did NOT feel it was worth the money because there was just no way short of general anesthetic to get the braces on or to do the adjustments. cps laughed the dentist out of the office, thankfully. So I agree wth you on much of the dental stuff. I bite if it hurts. One doctor didn't respond and wedges my mouth open. He shouldn't have leaned so close to my hand. I had long fingernails and used them to grab his upper leg to make him stop. From that point he treated me far more carefully. [/QUOTE]
