Financial Transparency
Pros:
"I was told every step of the way what they were doing."
"I had a consultation and was given an itemised bill which was fine and a breakdown was given."
"The dentist explained why it was not covered, really helpful."
Cons:
"I would definitely ensure that you triple check what you are going to have to pay for before actually going ahead with any treatment because you may get surprised with additional costs."
"I tried to get booked in for the bonding and was told I needed additional appointments which were going to cost me extra."
"When the additional costs were questioned, why were they not included on the original bill I’ve just been ignored."
