i did! Now I am paying 3x for what if I don't believe can really hurt me. Get a third opinion maybe? Costly, time consuming...

Also get a second professional opinion when the recommended procedure seems too invasive just to "save you costs". Some things do need a more expensive procedure now (e.g. a crown) to save you from much higher costs later (e.g. a dental implant).

And do confront your doctors with one another's opinion. A well meaning doctor can surely stand by their treatment recommendations with arguments and counter-arguments.
