I woke up this morning to find my front tooth suddenly broken. It was Saturday, and I was at a loss for what to do, so I called Dr. Zhang at the last minute. He was already fully booked, but he understood how frustrating it was to lose a tooth. So, he patiently told me to come in after his last appointment. There, he first surgically removed the root of the tooth, then made a temporary denture. The whole process took Dr. Zhang two or three hours of overtime, but neither he nor the nurses at his clinic complained. On the contrary, I felt a little embarrassed, but Dr. Zhang casually said, “It’s okay, I understand how disheartening it must be.”
Actually, it was my first time seeing Dr. Zhang. Because of the time and location constraints, and it being a Saturday, many doctors, upon hearing my situation, knew it wasn’t a simple case and wouldn’t take me on.
At first, I was a little unsure when I looked online. After seeing Dr. Zhang for two hours, I really want to say something to the person who left the previous comment. If you are a “real” patient and want to share your unpleasant experience online, I have no problem with that. However, if you are a “fake” patient, or a fellow online troll, irresponsibly trying to smear a professional’s ethics through the internet, even resorting to such a serious term as “medical ethics,” then you are not a person of integrity either. Could it be that your lack of integrity has led to poor personal hygiene, resulting in rotten teeth? If you’re that capable, you’ll never have rotten teeth and won’t need to see a doctor. Being an online troll is easy; if you’re so capable, you can treat yourself by looking in the mirror, since all you can do is talk.
We are very fortunate that Dr. Zhang has been able to check, clean, fill, peel, and implant the teeth of our elderly family members. He explains everything in detail during each consultation, which puts the patient and family at ease. The nurses are also attentive and the service is reliable.
I was already getting impatient after just a few questions during the examination. Initially, the doctor said the extraction would be under $1,000, but the bill was $1,500 per tooth. After arguing with the doctor, he initially rebated the $1,000, but then suddenly said he forgot to reimburse the examination fee and wanted to add to the refund. The billing process was extremely opaque, with significant discrepancies between pre- and post-treatment charges. He was incredibly impatient with patients. He’s not an ethical dentist.
My girlfriend and I just moved to a new place and were planning to find a nearby dentist to get our teeth cleaned.
We only intended to get a cleaning, but as soon as my girlfriend sat down for the dentist’s examination, he said she had a filling and some teeth worn down from brushing. I was there at the time. Initially, he said: one molar had a filling and 2-3 teeth were worn down, and he recommended filling all of them. Later, I left the clinic to go to the restroom, and when I came back, it turned out she had filled 4 teeth! But he only said he filled the erosions! He initially said a total of 7 teeth would be filled, and I thought 7-4=3, meaning 3 more teeth needed filling. But when I booked her next appointment, it turned out she needed 7 more fillings! Apparently, he only filled the erosions, and she’ll fill the fillings at her next appointment! My girlfriend has always been very careful about her dental health, seeing the dentist every year and never needing fillings. And now he’s saying he needs 4+7 fillings! Isn’t that outrageous?! What’s worse, the dentist didn’t clearly explain the cost of fillings. Initially, they quoted $500-$750, but later, when I wasn’t there, they told my girlfriend it would be $500 per tooth. When the bill came, it was $580 per tooth! I argued with them, and although they eventually charged me $20 per tooth, I still think the dentist’s ethics are questionable!
As for me, I had my teeth removed many years ago. To prevent them from shifting, I had wires attached to the back of my upper and lower jaws. The glue erodes over time, and the wires have broken several times. During my cleaning, I asked if they could repair the broken wires. The dentist said it wasn’t convenient for him to handle, as it wasn’t his case, but suggested removing the wires. I agreed. During the procedure, they drilled the glue from one of my teeth for a long time. I didn’t think much of it, and after removing it, I didn’t feel any problems. Later, I felt a soreness in that tooth. I suspect he didn’t have his teeth straightened, as an online search revealed no certifications for him (so of course I agreed to the procedure without fully understanding the situation). He charged me $1,000, but when I contacted the dentist who did the procedure, they only charged $400!!
Conclusion: He is not a trustworthy dentist; he’ll do anything for money. Residents of Ho Man Tin/Mong Kok, please be aware! ⚠️
I don’t mean to smear anyone, I just don’t want others to go through what I did.
P.S. Before going to Tai Po, I checked out a dentist there (they don’t have names, you have to book months in advance; you can Google it to find them). After the checkup, the dentist said I didn’t need fillings.

早排瞓醒覺隻下突然斷咗,仲要係門牙。適逢星期六,一時之間唔知點算,臨時打俾張醫生問下,其實張醫生已經full Booking,但佢明白冇咗隻門牙好無奈,結果嗰日佢不厭其煩咁叫我喺佢最後一個症之後過嚟。之後我嗰度,先將原本隻牙個牙根開刀拔出嚟,再做個臨時假牙,全程用咗張醫生兩三個鐘頭OT,但佢同佢診所啲護士都沒有任何怨言。相反地,我有點不好意思,但是張醫生輕描淡寫地說:「不要緊,我明白咁樣好徬徨的。」
其實,第一次睇張醫生,因為時間同地點所限,又啱啱好星期六,好多醫生聽到我呢個情況,都知道唔係簡單事,都費事接。
開頭上網睇,有少少唔肯定。睇完張醫生兩個鐘之後,我真係想同上一個留言嗰個人講。 如果你係「真」病人,因為嗰日睇醫生的不愉快感受,想在網路上評價一二,我沒有意見。但是,如果你是「假」」病人,或者是同行的網路打手,純粹不負責任地透過網路,就想抹黑一位專業人士的職業操守,動用到「醫德」這麼大的字眼,你也不是一個有品德的人,會不會是你這樣沒有品德的行為,導致你個人衛生欠奉,狗口長不出象牙,一口爛牙。假如你這麼厲害的話,一世不要爛牙,並不用看醫生了。做網路打手容易,你這麼厲害,自己看着鏡子治療便可,反正你都係得把口講。

非常慶幸由張醫生替家中長者檢查牙齒、洗牙、補牙、剝牙、種牙,每次會診都詳盡講解,令病人和家人都很放心,護士亦細心,服務可信賴。

檢查時問幾個問題已經不耐煩。一開始話拔牙$1000內,拔完埋單$1500一隻牙,同個醫生理論,先改返$1000,但突然又話忘記了要收返檢查費,要加返錢。收費極不透明,做治療前和做治療後收費差很多。對病人態度很不耐煩。不是一個有醫德的牙醫。

我同女朋友剛搬新居,諗住搵間附近牙醫洗牙。
本身只諗住洗牙,女朋友一坐低俾牙醫檢查,就話有注牙+有牙 刷牙磨蝕左,當時我還在場,最初講: 一隻大牙注+2-3隻牙磨蝕,建議全部修補。及後我離開診所去洗手間,番來之後原來補左4隻!但只係話補牙蝕!最初講共補7隻,本以為7-4=3 仲有3隻補,點知book下次覆診原來仲有7隻要補!原來剛才只補牙蝕,下次覆診先補注牙!我女朋友由細到大好注意牙齒健康,每年有睇牙醫,都不用補牙,一來就話補4+7! 有無咁過份?!
更甚既係,佢無講清楚補牙收費,一開始講$500-750,及後我不在場既時候,同我女朋友講補牙蝕每隻$500,埋單時原來收每隻$580!! 之後我同佢理論,雖然最後佢後收番每隻$20,但我覺得個牙醫醫德好有問題!
至於我,好多年前我koo過牙,長大後為防牙齒移位,上下顎後面貼左鐵線,膠水長年累月係會蝕的,鐵線斷過幾次,今次洗牙順便詢問可否修補斷左既鐵線,佢講唔方便接手始終唔係佢case,但建議可以拆鐵線。最後我答應,整過過程當中佢對我其中一隻牙既膠水鑽左好耐,我不以為然,拆完當刻覺得無咩問題,之後感覺嗰隻牙有酸痛既感覺。我懷疑佢無做開牙齒矯正,上網搜尋找不到有佢有相關認證(咁當然我責任無了解清楚就答應做)。收費方而,佢收$1,000,及後我聯絡番幫我做開嗰間,原來只收$400!!
結論: 佢唔係一個值得信任既牙醫,為錢不擇手段,何文田/旺角街坊請注意 ⚠️ !
我本意不是想抹黑任何人,只是我唔希望其他人再重蹈我既經歷。
P.S.
去左大埔以前睇開嗰間睇 (不開名,要提前幾個月book,大家可以自己Google下應該搵到),檢查完牙醫話不需要補牙。
