Dantshree Dental Clinic

Went to this clinic today for dental checkup as teeth were in some pain for couple of days. When the doctor arrived, she was assertive on the 2 sisters working there for not following her guidelines like not keeping checkup room door open when the AC is off, for not asking me to go out when she was going to take X ray machine. But that wasn't much rude, so I was okay.

Later the doctor said she needs to take X ray and I said go ahead (now note, she didn't mention the price here to me). She took 2 X rays.

Later during consultation, she mentioned we need to do a thorough cleaning and mentioned the cost as ₹3,000. So, I said how much will everything cost me? She said it will cost me ₹3,000 for cleaning + ₹300 consultation + ₹200 x 2 for X rays. I said that is going beyond my budget so requested if she could waive off X ray charges? She declined saying we are doctors, and the doctors don't work like others where you can negotiate and raise the total bill to ₹4,100 saying she by mistake calculated only 1 X ray and it costs ₹400 per X ray. I said doctor I clearly remember you saying it was ₹200 for the X ray but she said it was ₹400. At this moment, I was disappointed to see how the numbers were getting twisted and how much the charges were.

I said nothing much, paid ₹1,100 and left. On my way down, I enquired in another dental clinic from the same building, and they provided consultation fee as ₹200, X ray as ₹200 and deep cleaning max up to ₹1,500. So, now I felt like I was charged excess. Not to mention, I had already read a review on Practo where the patient had same experience of getting charged for X Ray for nothing much, but they had argument, and I didn't. I should have trusted that review.
In the end, I am not sure how normally the charges are in the hospital but the difference in the prices can never be double. I strongly suggest people to consider other options than choosing this clinic if they want affordable and transparent doctors. AND ALWAYS make sure you consult charges and take action before the doctor can give you a hefty bill.
