My daughter had an appt last week to have her wisdom teeth removed. Despite having a plan of care and estimate, the bill was quadruple. She paid it and was happy. I felt it was wrong and unethical. A simple phone call ahead of time to explain would have been nice.
I then made an appt for myself for xray and check up. I had had a check up a few months earlier and was basically going for a second opinion. Much to my horror, the estimate here was almost double.
They were extremely friendly but without a doubt very pricey. I would beware before signing any dotted line here.
