The first doctor. On the 13th floor. Windows faced south. Staffed by two blondes. The doctor told me straight up what was going to happen. Then they emailed me the treatment plan with a breakdown of insurance coverage and cost.

The second doctor. In the same building, but on the 22nd floor. Windows faced north. Staffed by asian and middle eastern descent. The doctor led me through a storybook-like process of describing the procedure along with models of human teeth. Then a lady led me step by step through the financial portion, describing what charge I didn’t have to pay and what I was responsible for, listing my payment options.

And obviously I chose the second doctor even though it was someone I had found on yelp.

After my last experience of using someone I randomly chose from a list from my insurance, I couldn’t do that again.
