> This might sound stupid but I refuse to go to dentists that have "too nice" of an office.

I have a similar rule about all healthcare providers. If your office looks like a West Elm catalog, I can't afford you. I want you to spend money on people and equipment, not a $5000 coffee table.

This doesn't count for dermatologists though. The fancy office is paid for by botox and ridiculously overpriced moisturizers, but they are still capable of treating skin conditions.

I have to second this, uncomfortably. Last dermatologist I saw, when I walked in, I thought I was in the wrong place. It looked like a "skincare" store full of branded junk. Nope, that's the office - it's just also a store. The whole place felt weird and so obviously catered to rich people overpaying for things they didn't need... but ultimately, the dermatologist was chill and didn't recommend any treatment at all.
