Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

I have to get an expensive dental procedure but cannot pay the full amount at this time. My dentist's office verbally told me that they accept credit cards for payment. I told them that I would like to pay for my procedure by credit card and they told me that they would charge me a 10% fee on top of the procedure fee to use my card. Is it legal for a dental practice to charge a fee to use a credit card in New York?

Just an aside: dental schools do great work at low prices. Call SUNY Stonybrook and see if you can get an appointment soon enough. Someone recommended Farmingdale State College for basics like cleaning then SB for other work.

All new adult patients must participate in a screening evaluation prior to becoming a patient at the Dental Care Center. To register for an initial screening appointment please call (631) 632-8989 between the hours of 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.
