What I find amazing is how all these dentists and eye guys are still in business. People getting laid off certainly aren’t renewing themselves and seeing how much they make for a teeth cleaning, it sorta sucks.[/quote]
I’m gonna take a little different position on this. Dentists and optometrists aren’t operating under the same business model. Both are highly trained. But dentists make tons of money even when you don’t need special services, just once or twice a year cleanings.
Optometrists don’t have that cash flow. Many don’t get paid much for exams. They don’t have medicare or medicaid paying anything signfiicant. The only place they make any money is optical dispensing. I’m not suggesting anyone should pay more than they need to, but they are entitled to make a living.
