I believe in Interviewing your health care providers. If your potential health care provider answers your questions with "I don't know, that's the way it has always been done." there might be a problem. This dentist did not appear very...educated.We left before having an exam as it was obvious from the beginning this was not the quality of care I would expect for my personal health care provider. In his apparent unease at having a patient ask too many questions about the process of hiring him as well as a periodontist, he chose to blame the lack of past dental visits instead of what he could/would do to help. This man showed no signs of being an adequate care giver.
