Challenges with Finding a New Dentist
Posted by admin on Mar 6, 2008
Finding a new dentist can be a challenge. I know because I am in the process right now having moved to a different state recently. I asked at a doctors office and found that one of the doctors had a brother who is a dentist. Even better, they took my insurance. The problem - distance. Most of my work responsibilities are at least an hour away, and my home isn’t exactly around the corner.
Frustrated, I decided to ask some colleagues and found a qualified and highly recommended dentist near my office. Good news, or so I thought. I came to find out that they don’t take my insurance, which would cost me at least a few hundred dollars more since I need a crown with a buildup.
I am back to the drawing board on this one. I imagine I could just check the insurance company’s website, but that doesn’t guarantee that I will find a good dentist.
