Okay sooo, I went to the dentist appt on Friday morning….. I was so excited to begin the process, until I got there…….
My appt was at 9:00am & I showed up by 8:50am by about 9:30 I was called & asked to wait in one of the X-Ray rooms. I had about 9 or 10 X-Rays taken after that I was asked to wait in the waiting room… By this time the waiting room was packed. So I sat there and waited, and waited, and waited, and I waited some more. Until finally I was called again by this time it was nearly 12:30... So the dentist looked at my X-Rays & at my teeth. He said that I needed to have a Root Canal done soon & that the ladies at the front desk would be able to reschedule me for that. And he walked out of the room. So I begin to think to myself all that waiting for nothing.
So I walked up to the desk & that lady begins to tell me that she knew I was also there for a cleaning but the dentist didn’t have time for it now since he was late that morning. And if I wanted a cleaning I needed to wait about 2 hrs because they were other patients in front of me. I didn’t want to wait because I had to pick up my son since my husband was working. So I decided to schedule an appt for the cleaning & root canal. So I scheduled it for this Friday after work. But as I was walking towards the door the lady at the front desk asked that I go back to the desk because she had to show me something. So I go back & I was presented with this paper for a proposed treatment plan for $517.20. I asked the lady what this was for & she said that it was a description sheet of the work that I needed done on my teeth. There are 9 items that are listed on the page & I explained to her that the dentist only said that I needed a root canal. Well at least I was under the impression that it was all the work I needed because that’s all he said to me was that I needed a root canal & walked out…. She explained to me that all the work couldn’t be done all in one day & that I had to schedule it for 3 different appt. So that means that I will have to be going up there every Friday for the next 3 weeks & would have to wait in the waiting room for a long time. I was very frustrated with them & really upset. I almost feel like calling them & telling them that I need a copy of my charts & x-rays so that I could go see someone else but if I do that I’m sure I would have to wait at least another 1 ½ weeks or even 2 weeks. I don’t know. I think I’m just going to go with my gut feeling & order my charts & x-rays & schedule with someone else.
