My Story: How CareCredit Gave Kevin Peace of Mind

During a routine checkup with his dentist, Kevin learned that he would need extensive dental work with a specialist. After reviewing his costly care with the dental specialist, Kevin applied and was approved for the CareCredit credit card that allowed him to pay for his dental work over time and later helped cover the end-of-life veterinary expenses for his golden retriever.

When Kevin visited the dentist for a routine checkup, he was surprised to learn that he would need extensive and costly dental work with a specialist. Later, on his way out of the dental specialist's office, he spotted an application for the CareCredit credit card and took it home to consider.

Once he had a chance to review the materials about CareCredit, Kevin decided to apply for the card online and was instantly approved. Not only did this allow him to pay for the cost of his dental care, but also to take advantage of the card's promotional financing, which is one of the factors that encouraged him to apply for it in the first place. In fact, after using the card, this financial-savvy accountant was so impressed with it that he dubbed it his "peace of mind plastic."

The CareCredit credit card gives him peace of mind because he was also able to use it to pay for his golden retriever's veterinary care when she became very sick near the end of her life. Now he knows that he can rely on the card for his, his wife's and his pets' healthcare costs and not worry about the financial hit that could result from any unexpected medical expenses that may arise in the future.
