I worked in insurance a decade ago. Now im in the other end and the rates I can negotiate with some ins cos are less than what I saw coming through. Some of it is less than the discounted rate my dental school offered.

Definitely overcharging.

"Dentists must be overcharging if they have that much money laying around" ???

That thought process is what is wrong with America right now

It's like a kid screaming "no fair!".

It's sad because kids are growing up with everything 'fair'

He's also in his 50s. School, business, house are probably paid for.

Not many people can pay off their business, house and student loans by their 50s

SuperTank

Just assuming. Maybe not the house, that's a little extreme. Also if he's not

Yes dentists charge too much. Period. That's their prerogative.

What if he was an oncologist? Or a lawyer? or a successful businessman?

Oncologist thumbs up. Lawyer thumbs down. Dentist thumbs down.

So if he owned an eyeglass or contact lens company you'd be cool with it?

Dentists are business people. IMO post a bad review and find a new dentist.
