Anyone got a decent dentist? doctor?

General 'help wanted' and 'for sale' notices minus the ubiquitous 'free kittens' posts.

YES. Dr. Ahmadian is very good. Nice, smart, and pleasant. Also, it was amazing to see how much his assistant idolized hime/sung his praises.

Hi Rachel - Thank you. That's awesome. I'll switch my next appointment to her!

How does that work? Is there some reconnaissance that somebody can do on the phone or web first, or do you just show up at a border town and ask around?

Dr. Rodolfo Alamia, MD
Sweet Vida Medical Center

Bedside Manor, Eh?

It must be a verrrry small house. Or maybe the bed is outside. :lol:

Karen Knight is my dentist, and I've been seeing her for over 10 years. She has payment plans, too.

Being a gal, having a good Ob-Gyn is more important than a GP. But for the former, I really like Dr. Reich at Women Partners in Health. She's smart, caring, and careful.

Dr. Edward Peters is now officially an allergist, but I always go see him when I have a terrible cold, cough, sore throat, or all of the above. He has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've ever encountered. He always takes plenty of time to listen to your symptoms and examine you thoroughly.

For a good time, check out The Hills Dental Spa. One of my bosses used to go there and brag about it.

Dr. Ahmadian better be a good dentist because I just schedule an appointement with him for Friday. I chipped a molar a while back and have to get a crown. At the least. I was a little apprehensive about making the appointment though because of the curt way the secretary acted on the phone with me. She put me on hold for a while as soon as I called, which is not what I would do to someone who was trying to be a new client. After making the appointment, she asked for my social security number, birth date, and insurance's phone number to validate my insurance. It's odd enough that she's checking with the insurance company (which could be seen as a good thing), but odder that she asked for the 800 number instead of my insurance member number.

I trust you two though, so I have confidence the dentist will be OK. I haven't been to a dentist in a long time. A long time. A really long time.

It's not a luxury dental experience. The office is small, and the secretary is... well I mean you talked to her. BUT Dr. Ahmadian was very professional, very good and VERY fast.

Let me know how it turns out.

I'm going for quality work that lasts a long time and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. As long as it meets those requirements, I'm actually OK with it.
