Dr. Anthony Rassouli, a general dentist from Huntington Beach, Calif., found it increasingly difficult to make referrals to dental specialists. His patients were moving all over California and even out of state. When he received a call, for example, on a Friday from a patient who seemed to need an immediate root canal but was travelling, Dr. Rassouli was at a loss to refer the patient to an endodontist whose office was open that day.
