I left a Pinehurst area dentist for her because she is less expensive, and P'hurst can get ridiculously priced. I am glad I did. That being said, she is still like every other dentist - she only gets paid when she does work. So she will ask to redo work that may not need to be redone. It is your responsibility to use good judgement. She recommended a conservative course of treatment for me. Other dentists would have taken a "let's do it in half the visits (same price) and use antibiotics from the get go, rather than wait and see if you even need them." Very satisfied customer. Recommended.
