Some \"Alberta Dentists\" make them look like philanthropists!\n\n\"Alberta Dental Association\" legalized \"price gouging\", when they abolished the fee guide. Nothing illegal with \"dental price gouging\", nor is charging $10 for a .50 cent bottle of water in Hurricane Katrina.\n\nDr. Art Piercy Owner\n----------------------------\nHe flat out refuses to give reasonable rates, graduated in the 70's and feels his \"experience\" allows him to \"price gouge.\" Keep in mind computers didn't even exist back then.\n\nPrevious Employee Tells us How it Works\n---------------------------------------------------------\nArt bills each \"dentist\" a set fee for each procedure they do. Ex: Root Canal, (3 roots/filling) Art gets $1148 for everyone sold and the dentist gets % of what's left over. They charge $1500 PLUS $300 for the filling.\n\nEach \"dentist\" is billed out at full rate, No matter the what country or year graduated.\n\nYour Dentist will try to max your Insurance\n---------------------------------------------------------\nLook for a dentist with reasonable rate. Retail price for root canals in Edmonton around $500 and Calgary around $1000. One of art's \"special root canals\" will cost you $2000 and will max out most insurance plans.\n\nLearn more about price gouging practices: http://tinyurl.com/zojw798"^^ . "1"^^ .
