Who Scams You More for Money - Dentists or Veterinarians?

[Anonymous]

I feel like a lot of times, these two professions are more out for money than common sense care.

Dentists.

Vets because in addition to prescribing you drugs for your pets, they also sell them to you. Total conflict of interest. Plus very few people have pet health insurance.

Toss up. What about dermatologists?

vets for sure

I went to a couple of dentists who constantly found work that needed to be done-$700-1200 each time.

They're both scumbags.

I've had to take a very hard line with vets in the past few years.

Funny, our vet has never in 7 years tried to upcharge us on anything. She suggested teeth cleaning for one of our two dogs, but we never did it and she didn't hassle us.

I did once go to a dentist who tried to convince me I needed all kinds of treatment I didn't need. But my current dentist doesn't do that.

Dentists. What's up with them constantly trying to push those mouth guard things?

[Anonymous]

I have never had a problem with either one.

Now salons, they rip people off big time. It is so much cheaper to find ways around them and their overhead.

I agree with PP about dermatologists, they are performing borderline plastic surgery procedures without adequate training. I understand trying to make a buck out of people's pockets while circumventing insurance, but this avenue seems controversial.

My dentist and vet are both amazing!! I don't have this problem with either.

Vets are the worst. They easily play on our emotions and lack of knowledge.

Never had a problem with dentists, and we have insurance, so the insurance would be the one ripped off.
Vets have to be checked often. I ask them what is the absolute minimum that needs to be done and flat out tell them that we have limits as to what we're going to pay.
