There are certain dental procedures I do not enjoy doing. Because of that, I refer these procedures to specialists in my area. My expectation of these specialists is simple: Treat my patients the same as I would treat them at my office. Make their visits as comfortable as possible, see them on time, communicate clearly, etc. I first convey these expectations to the specialists. I do not want to assume they know what I want. I also check with the patients after their treatment with the specialists. Once again, I don't want to assume that the specialists have met my or my patients' expectations.

What about you? Do your specialists know what you want or are you just assuming? You may want to check it out!
