What's so special about dentists?

Unfortunately, we have a huge overhead with physical facility and
staff costs to name a few.

You're breaking my heart. Dentists around here make a fortune. That
overhead is covered many times over.

The office manager should have been willing
to give you a tour of the office, but to get 10 or 15 minutes of a
busy dentist/business person's time today is asking a lot. I don't
think any physicians would go along with this either.

Then these folks have lost perspective and they will not get my
business. If they are too busy making money to treat me with respect,
their priorities are screwed up. It's arrogance and greed.

Since my original post, I have called 2 other referrals. Both were
very helpful and readily agreed to meet me. I will see one tomorrow.

Back in the '80s when we spent a lot of time reading magazines and
newspapers we would gladly have given you a "free" interview, but
times and expenses have evolved.

Devolved is more like it.

I'm not trying to break your heart. I went into dentistry for, believe
it or don't. altruistic reasons. Uncompromising, uncaring, un-
interested, lay people/patients, changed my mind quite rapidly. After
having given away more than a half million dollars of dental care in
20 years, I really don't care what *ONE* patient like you cares
about. I care about the majority of my "people" who have confidence in
me and my integrity. Sit on it! or Eat me! Whatever you like.
