Two Key Components
Our family has its share of medical issues. Outside of the hassles of dealing with chronic health problems, are the issues of paying medical bills. A year ago we paid a ENT doctor $400 for putting a very small tube in my college son’s ear. This took all of 10 minutes once the decision was made. In my less spiritual moments my undefined bucket list urge is to one day outrageously charge a doctor, dentist, plumber, auto mechanic for some minor service.
Whether you are hiring a doctor, plumber, mechanic, financial planner, et... you want desire two key elements within one of these individuals.
You want character and competency.
You want to be able to trust the person that you have hired that they are able to do the jog that you want done. When we had trouble with our old minivan years ago, I took it to the dealer where we had purchased it. It became clear after a few expensive, but fruitless visits that they either did not know what they were doing or they were trying to drain as much money out of us as possible. There may have been a combination of factors. Two years later I found a more competent mechanic and I gave him my business until he moved away.
Reading online reviews of businesses is a mixed bag at best. Even pay for review sights have a lot to be desired.
If you find honest and competent people doing a good job, let them know you appreciate their services.
