The large corporate entities are taking over (Aspen Dental, La Dental,etc) and the little guys are trying to stay independent.

Yes but your father in law is in at least his 50s if not 60s right? He’s been around long enough to naturally make his own book of clients.
If you are younger I don’t see the issue with it?
In fact, I approve of it. How many people know what another dentist charges for a cleaning or X-ray? I sure as hell don’t. If I see one dentist charging considerably less or my dentist decides to increase his prices substantially, it would be nice to know what the competitors are doing.
Healthcare should be a free market and with competitive pricing.

Because you are not spending enough on dental health and they want to help you.

Graff, Cosse, and who else? There aren't that many in Shreveport and those are the only ones who really advertise like that. The dentists that have billboards are all recently established practices, dental students now are being taught more about the business side of than previous generations.

Definitely the meth epidemic. The LP is a goldmine.

Back in the "Good Ole Days", Doctors and Lawyers could not advertise on TV. Rx drugs were also not allowed to be advertised.

This, and there is an associate there who is doing the same.

Usually you advertise to drum up business.

Not nearly as tacky as the attorneys.
Speaking of attorneys, Gordon needs to step up his game in Ellick. Only one billboard, and its set back pretty far from the road.
