stu79, would you happen to know dr chu's operating hours? i just called but got a voicemail with no details.
Same happened to me; so I went into the surgery and asked what it was about. Basically, if Dr Chu is booked out, they will not take any more bookings. If it is not super urgent, go into the surgery and make an appointment, which will probably be about 2 weeks or so away (kind of like in the West).
I had an urgent problem and went into the next dentist down the same road.
i called on saturday morning and managed to fix an appointment that same day (they open till 6 on saturdays). had to wait a while as the previous patient overran. had a general cleaning ($360) and patched a tooth ($360 per tooth). he was gentle and professional. thanks for the recommendation.
I found this posting around 11 am, was in the doctor's chair by 12:15, had my cracked and painful root canal extracted by 12:45 and was back in Central by 1pm. Including my two $70 cabs, the whole process was only $1440 - a third of what I was quoted in Central.
Prices are still the same from the OP's photo posted...
I used to have medical cover so went anywhere close for a dentist. However now I don't have cover and need 4 fillings and shopped around. After trying 3 I had been quoted from $1200 for a molar filling done in BoA Tower, Central. To $780 for the same in Kennedy Town. I was beginning to think it was going to cost me a fortune. However I thought I woudl give Dr. Joseph Chu a try as of this recommendation on Geo. I was seen the same day and he quoted $360 a filling, so snapped that up and had 4 done today for $1440 in total. He was very good and professional and I am very happy with the results and the price!
