In reply to the discussion: Rich ass dentists [View all]blue neen
(12,395 posts)55. Your husband sounds like our dentist.
He is a kind man who truly cares about his patients. He's getting close to retirement age, and I don't know what we will do without him.
As a matter of fact, our dentist is the one who discovered my husband's high blood pressure! I can't remember why he checked hubby's BP (it was a long time ago). It was dangerously high---told hubby he needed to see his family doctor immediately. Hubby did and has been on BP medicine ever since. So, that caring dentist probably saved my husband's life.

Your dentist sounds like mine also. I've run across jerks, but that can be said for any profession

Ever notice the ones who give free care to people who are homeless, or veterans, or have HIV/Aids?
