Local Dentists

I go routinely to Dr. Astleford and have for years to get my teeth cleaned and a check-up. However, my job doesn't allow me to have concrete plans, as I may have to go out of town or something at the last minute. That was the case with my last appointment. However, when I called to reschedule, they told me they were booking out 4 months in advance! I like him alot and I appreciate his attentiveness to me. But, I have Delta Dental Insurance and had to use up one of my visits I pay for. So, I called Dodge City Dental up on 14th. They were only booking a week in advance. So, I set up an appointment there.

However, I've never been so neglected in my life. I was told my appointment time. I showed up 10 minutes beforehand knowing I would have paperwork and such to fill out. Then, they told me it would be a while since I came sooo early. I asked what time they had me scheduled and never did get an answer. Next, they called me by my wrong name, which I promptly correctly. I sat in the dentist chair and hygenist began. They cleaned the teeth wonderfully. I was quite happy with that aspect. However, the doctor left for lunch and left me sitting in the chair waiting to be checked. After 30 minutes of waiting patiently, the hygenist saw me sitting there and asked if everything was OK. I said no and that the doctor had not been in yet. She quickly got another doctor in which looked at my teeth for less than 30 seconds and said all is good.

So, now I'm in a pickle. Do I go back to either or do I try someplace else and hope for better results? Do y'all know of any good dentists in DC or surrounding locales? Any constructive advise appreciated!
