Moosmom, your story reminds me of an endodontist I had years ago. I quit going to him as every time I saw him I ended up several thousand dollars poorer. He lost MANY patients because we all got wind of the fact that this guy was just taking us all for a ride - but none of us got rides in his race cars, sailboats, etc. The dentist who had initially referred me to him is from my current dentist's office (he sold his business to her when he retired) - even HE wouldn't go to that guy anymore and brought all of his endo patients back into the fold. None of us have gum problems anymore - amazing!
