My current (private) dentist in Moscow has a way to assuade concerns like this which I find quite interesting. From the first visit on, you have a personal profile that you can open in an app and their website which contains a detailed (not dumbed down) log of everything they did, as well as high-resolution photos, videos and x-rays of the procedures. They're happy to do diagnosis and have you get a second opinion with the raw data they collected before doing anything.
I showed this to my mum who lives in a different country and has been having lots of trouble with dental surgery lately, and she was very surprised by it. I also haven't seen anything like this anywhere else before.
Another fun part was that while doing something they have a screen on the wall that shows the feed of the instrument-mounted tiny cameras, this lets the assistant see the view that the doctor has. They also have a ceiling-mounted screen you can see which was just showing random Youtube videos or TV or something, so I asked them if they can put the camera feed on the ceiling-mounted screen and the doctor immediately said "You work in IT, right? Only tech people ask for that."
- cabirum 4y agoAny chance you can share the contact for your dentist?
- tazjin 4y agoSure, actually some people contacted and asked me already, so I might as well post it here. The clinic is Белая Радуга, the one I go to is close to Бауманская but they have several in the city.
- dessant 4y agoYour comment just got better and better as it progressed, I wish properly informing patients was standard practice for dental care.
- cassianoleal 4y agoIndeed! And the end is just the right amount of icing on the cake! :D
