Fair enough, but that isn't the point. The point is that to assume that not taking insurance is an indicator of quality (to the point that those who do accept it are to be avoided) is a pretty narrow minded approach.

Not every doctor who takes insurance does so because they can't get enough patients who pay OOP. The only dentist who hasn't been trying to sell me unnecessary procedures (unnecessary by the judgment of a dentist friend) was one who accepted insurance, including HMOs.[/quote]
