Dentist Dr Reid

DENTIST DR REID IS AN EXTREMELY GREEDY *******

This review is about Dr Reid at DR Brown, Reid and Solomon Dental Practice 58 Strand Street, 12th Floor, Picbel Parkade, Cape Town, 8001 I visited Dr Reid several times over the years only because he was recommended to me, and I obviously know he doesnt charge medical aid rates. But some of his invoices are beyond belief!!!! Once he literally only spoke to me about something for under 5 minutes then charged me over R1 000!!! Another time I bought some gum treatment cream for R400. But when I got home I saw the original sticker underneath was actually for R100!!!!! And the bite plate he had made for me was a really weird disgusting yellowish colour - not the normal clear colour of a bite plate! He also has 2 dental hygienists who are both useless and don't do their job properly AT ALL!!! They charge a fortune and then mess around a bit in your mouth with a bad attitude for 30 minutes and your teeth are never cleaned properly!!!!! It is beyond infuriating!! I tried to get Dr Reid on the phone about various invoices and issues and he is always allegedly busy of course! At the time I didn't do anything further because I was severely depressed and struggling to function and could not cope with a huge confrontation at his offices or a huge fight with the invoice person. That is the only reason I didnt act earlier! But I never forgot the way he s******d me financially and his terrible dental hygienists! Besides this he is a good dentist. But boy you are going to pay an absolute fortune and get totally **********. This guy is so greedy for money its astounding! And those 2 dental hygienists act as if they are barely qualified and are totally disinterested in doing their job!
