Ever since I got my braces off, my parents doesn't take me to my dentist in Oklahoma City much anymore. But, I remember when I was in middle school and high school, I had my braces, so my parents took me to our dentist a lot.
I was already living in DFW at the time. My parents didn't change us to a different dentist because Dr. U was our greatest dentist and they think wouldn't be able to find another good dentist like that. That means my parents drive to Oklahoma City from Dallas for check-ups along with visits to my extended families that still lives in OKC. And yes, my mom have to spent 3 hours driving back to OKC and another 3 hours back to DFW because the wiring wasn't assembled to my braces correctly and it was sticking out. Ever since, he told me to double-check for anything that's wrong with my braces before leaving his office, lol.
He's a great dentist though. My parents always compliment how he usually do free check-ups and works overtime on weekends without taking any fees or charges, he just does it for free, but he puts lots of effort and time into it. It's a pain in the ass to wait him to get through any customers if there's any customers before us. He spends a lot of time and effort to make sure his job is done perfectly. Unlike other dentists, his goals in maintaining a person teeth is more important than making enough money. That's why he's a great dentist. The reason my parents visit him a lot because they don't think there are any dentists is better than Dr. U. Unlike Dr. U, most of the dentists they been to are terrible. They finish their jobs fast, but the fillings' color are funny like orange, blue, etc. (makes you look like you're chewing gum 24/7) and the fillings always came out in a few months. They always rip my parents off with extra fees and charges to put in new fillings. They're terrible! My mom had went through 3-4 different dentists before she found Dr. U. He was the best! It's hard to find a good dentist, you know?
My uncle complained about Dr. U though. He's too impatient for Dr. U, he prefers a dentist who gets their job done fast even their job isn't done perfectly, it's just have to be fair enough and my uncle is good with that. He prefers that.
Btw, Dr. U always tune into OKC's Classic Hits KOMA which happens to be a good Classic Hits and OKC's AC KMGL which also happens to be a good AC as well. Sometimes, I requested him to tune into KMGL when his office is quiet.
In either case, my parents favors Dr. U, but they never cared about the music Dr. U plays at his office or tune over-the-air at his office. My parents do care about American Easy Listening music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s a little, but most of the time they listened to Vietnamese Easy Listening music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. My parents are in their early 50s now and they came to America in the late 1970s. Dr. U is in his early 60s now. Though, they do talk about how Dr. U likes to blast 92.5 KOMA, Magic 104.1 KMGL, or one of his Beatles records really loud sometimes, but my parents doesn't care about it at all. They don't really care if the music bother them or how they enjoyed the music. They only care about how Dr. U does good jobs taking care of their teeth and my teeth and how he doesn't collect any fees and charges at all.
I doubt my uncle cares about the music either, he listened to Vietnamese Easy Listening music and Classical music only and he's in his early 60s now. He doesn't like the dentist because he takes too long on other customers and him. He prefers someone who finishes their jobs quick, it doesn't have to be perfect for him.
Same thing goes for the restaurants, groceries, and stores:
Since my parents are more conservative in their spending (they don't like to spend a lot of money), they usually prefer something low in costs, as long as the quality is fair enough. They're very serious about the pricing of food and items. They only purchase something when they really needed to.
Though my uncles and aunts are likes to spend money and they usually look for something that's good in quality, but the costs don't bother them much unlike my parents who are very conservative in their spending. They purchase something when they feel like it.
Once again, neither my parents nor my uncles and aunts cared about the music being played at the restaurants, groceries, and stores.
Though interestingly some of the Vietnamese restaurants and groceries here in DFW tuned into our local AC KVIL rather than playing Vietnamese AC music. I can't remember because my parents haven't visit our hometown OKC much and we haven't eat out anywhere in OKC much either, but I believe some of the Vietnamese restaurants and groceries in OKC tuned into their local AC KMGL.
