Exorbitant fees

Dr JJ van den Berg is a very nice guy. Unfortunately I have been severely ripped off both times I have visited his practice. I recently visited as I thought that my wire retainer had broken, and wanted to get a quote for it to be repaired to compare to other practitioners. I had a 3 minute discussion with the Dr who had a look and informed me that it had not broken and I did not need to do anything. I was absolutely shocked when I was charged R550 for this quote, especially as I was a returning patient. I will never return.
