[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like I have great dental and eye care, but anything else is ... mediocre. The appointment might be fine, but being able to communicate with my doctors outside of them is so hard I don't even bother most of the time. And the front desk people at my main Dr's office are really hostile. They're forever pushing me to fill out some mental health forms. I know I'm depressed - no need to discuss it with my doctor who only allocates a set amount of time for each patient - we won't solve lifelong depression in 12 minutes.[/quote]

Dental is becoming terrible in the US. Private equity has bought out all the good practices, saddled them with incredible debt, raised the prices to make them pay for the debt and now those dentists just push $$$ things like onlays and "cavities" that weren't there. I've heard story after story of kids who have 5 cavities, they go for a 2nd opinion and they don't even have 1 cavity.  My healthcare is way better than dental.[/quote]
