It's possible it ain't just the pricing strategy that's shady. Read up all you can about the recommended procedure before you decide. I blindly followed the perio's recommendation like I pretty much would with any doctor (plus he was on staff at my longtime dentist's office). So I only did my reading after getting hit with a huge bill, and discovered I probably didn't really need the procedure in the first place. My lesson learned: Doctors, and not just insurance companies, are in it for the money too. Watch out. It’s possible it ain’t just the pricing strategy that’s shady.
