[QUOTE="donna723, post: 530706, member: 1883"] It's not just the specialists, but so much has changed about it. Used to be, a long time ago, you went in for an exam and if you needed any work done you had it done that same day. Now they will have you come back three or four times just for the simple things! It's gotta be the money, and I suspect that the better your insurance is, the more times they will have you come back! My son has pretty good dental insurance at his job but still has a co-pay for each appointment. He recently had an appointment where he had an exam and x-rays and he needed one filling in a back tooth, but they didn't do it the same day. He had to come back a second time and was given just a [I]temporary[/I] filling! He then had to go back a third time to get the permanent filling put in! So he had to take off work three times, his insurance paid for three office visits and he paid three co-pays, all just to have one small simple filling put in! [/QUOTE]
