So I went to the dentist yesterday, only the second time I have been since we moved to Ohio.
We have insurance, god knows we have insurance and we pay a ridiculous amount for it.
My appointment was 11:15, well of course I was early because that is just me. so after waiting 30 minutes, I get taken back, for lots of x-rays , then its g back out to lobby and wait again for about 10 minutes. I get called back again, now this room I went into, this is a medical facility, so in my mind it should be fairly clean and sanitary, well needless to say it just was not, I am really not picking about this kind of stuff normally, but after waiting like over 30 minutes in that chair I had plenty of time to look around and see how the floor looked like maybe it had not been mopped in a few days and just a lot of little things that made me almost get up and walk out. Finally a doctor comes in, now mind you most of the time a new doctor will introduce this doctor said hi, walked behind me where my x-rays where, so I thought maybe he is not even the doctor. Well he was doctor, he proceeds to go over everything with me, he seems nice enough. We get all done, I explain all I'm wanting done at this time was to get my tooth filled, where I had lost a filling, some of the tooth broke and there was this gaping hole, we then have discussion about my (plan) now I have been to dentist before I know how this works, they want you to have all this work done. So he tells me come this way and Dominic will go over everything with you.
Dominic introduces himself, I again explain to him what I am wanting done at this time, then he proceeds to tell me my options about my plan. A cleaning which I know I need, but $600.00, its a little more extensive than the regular but in my mind I am say OMG. I say no to that, lets move on,
He then ask do you remember my name, and I say no, he ask if I remembered the doctors name I say no because the doctor never introduced himself, he says okay I will have to talk to him about that, I'm, ,,  like okay. Now we are onto I might need a crown or even a root canal on the other side where I have a cavity, yeah I get it, but once again I explain I am here to get the other fixed today. so when all is done its like over two grand for my like so called "plan". I tell him my insurance that I pay out the you know what must suck. He tell me it pays a percentage, so by this time it is going on almost 2 hours I have been there my stomach is starting to growl. We get to just the tooth I want fixed, no guarantees this will work but before we have anymore discussion , says he needs to go talk to doctor.
Dominic comes back after a few minutes, says he consulted with my doctor and another and they want it known that this might not work, I was like,
 yeah I get it, that is what the doctor told me. He then says okay and tells me it will be $213.00, I am like okay, he then says he needs to go talk to doctor again, he comes back and says okay is 4:00 today okay its now 1:00 I have already been there two hours. I say okay, he says okay that will be $267.00, I say I thought you said $213.00, he says well doctor, whatever the doctors name is , I swear I do not know what his name is, anyway he says doctor says you need this, some kind of BS.
By now I am like okay, he then says how will you be paying, and I ask, what I pay before the work is done and he shook his head yes, then he said well you will be back a 4:00 so you can pay then.
Now I try not to go back as early as I did so around 3:45 I'm there, the waiting room is full, but keep in mind they told me to come back at 4:00. The lady I'm sitting next to I hear her on the phone tell some one she has been waiting for 45 minutes, by now I am like whatever. I tell myself I will give it till 4:30 and that is it, I am already on my phone looking for another dentist, I kid you not.
I noticed when I signed in there was a name above mine, also the name Lucille. I realize it a older women, seems to be there with her son, she goes up its not quite 4:30 yet and ask how much longer,
I have no idea how long she had been there, but few minutes later they come out and call Lucille, so she gets up and because her name was before mine I just assume it's for her so they take her back.
It is now approaching 4:30 so I get up and go to the receptionist and ask, very nicely, I might add, do you know how much longer it will be, because in my mind I am thinking you guys are the ones who told me to come back at 4:00. She says let me go check, she comes back after a few minutes and says it should only be a few minutes I say okay, go back and sit down. In the mean time the other Lucille comes out with her son, and seems to be pissed off, at that moment I am thinking well that was quick, things moving right along, but I do take note that something was wrong, so I am thinking in mine just leave, then they come out and call my name.
So I go back to another area which seems to be a little cleaner than the other area they had me in before. They tell me they sent the wrong Lucille back, she was supposed to go to the other doctor, anyway, we get started, I am nervous as always when I sit in the dentist chair, that's why I don't go very often, anyway everything was fine it was quick and painless, it seem to be on the up and up,
but I still have no idea what doctors name is, and I have no intentions of ever gong back there again,
I will find another dentist, with a new PLAN.
