Should I Tip the Doctor?

September 21, 2012
Asked By:wendy85

I bought a deal for laser pixel skin resurfacing treatment and I am wondering if I should tip the doctor whom will be performing the treatment on me. I think the venue is owned and operated by the doctor. He's offering the treatment at a discounted price on the deal site I purchased from. Should I consider it as a treatment I would get a spa and tip accordingly? Or should I consider it as a visit to the doctors office?
