I've been to few different Endodontists and Michael Carter, DDS, is top notch. His technique, equipment and staff are all excellent. He takes extra care to do the job right (root canal in this case). He's efficient, informative, and especially good at providing a painless procedure.
I don't know how his prices compare to other Endodontists but I'm happy to pay for excellent work.
My family has used Kaiser in San Diego for ~3 years. The system and doctors have been great. You do need to be actively involved in your own healthcare but that's not different from most of the other providers I've used in the last 20 years.
Fandango displays a ticket price and then changes it AFTER you've pressed the final 'purchase' button. They call the extra charge a 'convenience fee'. I might agree to pay the fee IF they told me about it before charging my CC. They are NOT TRUSTWORTHY. I won't do business with them again.
