Default $2K?

If it was a tooth cleaning, I would shop around for the best price. For the eyes...I think I would ignore price and find the best doctor/practice I could find.

Default 3rd! One thing makes me wonder though...

I wonder if some of these practices would hack up the price just to make people think that more expensive = better / proven track record.

Conversely, if there are competent doctors / practices that are getting started (or branched off) then I suspect they would have lower prices to attract a new client base. The question is, would you be willing to support it?

Default capitolism comes in many forms...

So the answers to both of your questions would be yes.

Regarding the second...any doc that is trying to get established isn't established enough to screw around with my eyes. I'll let him practice on f3d first. And when they do become established, they'll charge market rates. So I guess I'll have to pay more...
