Aspen dental is the place. Lady called this afternoon to schedule the appointment for removal. She said the 23rd and to discontinue my blood thinners 7 days before. That's 2 more weeks of this, and besides that, I have already stopped taking my blood thinners. She said she didn't tell me to stop taking them yet. I said I already knew I'd have to stop them a week in advance so I stopped them before yesterday's visit. Amazingly she found a spot next monday instead. Imagine that. She verified the extraction and deep cleaning on that day. I said nope. I only want the extraction. She said the Dr wants to do both. I said I went in there for a tooth removal only and am not interested in their other services. I paid in advance for just the removal.
Drs don't care for patients making medical decisions for themselves. They are in the medical field to make all the money they can and if they can push folks into having procedures done that aren't absolutely necessary, they'll do it. Much like auto garages and so many other businesses.
