Do Dentists have a patient blacklist?
I went to a dentist in my small town. Her assistant saw me, and made a future appointment. I was told that a prescription for pain would be called in to the pharmacy that was located across the parking lot from the dentist. I asked that the prescription not be called in to that pharmacy, because I used another pharmacy in town that was open weekends. It wasn't called in. I spent the weekend in HUGE pain, and called the dentist, leaving many messages, none returned. When I complained to the front desk at my next appointment, I was told that they ONLY used the pharmacy that shares their parking lot.
Long story short, the dentist apparently didn't like the calls I made in the night. She tacked a few hundred dollars onto my bill, and had me kicked out of the dentist chair mid treatment. Sounds unbelieveable? I know. I was shocked!!
I went to another dentist in town and he refused to see me.
I went to yet another dentist in a nearby town, and she put me off two weeks, but at least gave me a prescription for the pain.
Third dentist did a root canal. That was two days ago. While in the chair his assistant said to him, "aren't you going to do the other root canal?" He answered something about her loyalty to him. She looked stunned. Tonight I am in pain again. The rootcanal tooth is throbbing. I believe he only did one of the two roots.
I BELIEVE THE DENTIST BLACKLISTED ME!! What, if anything, can I do?
