Glad that I’m not the only one who notices this drop off in practitioner quality and focus on upselling. The only thing they even discuss at dentist visits are the optional, expensive cosmetic treatments. When you make it clear you have no interest they end the conversation and leave.

It’s like they have all bought the same practice management course. Once you realize what they are doing it feels very sleezy.
