If you want to have braces done in Penang, DON'T go to Prestige Orthodontic (Braces) Clinic in Pulau Tikus. Here's my personal experiences:

Few months ago, one of my friends introduced to me Prestige Orthodontic (Braces) Clinic in Pulau Tikus. The lady doctor said need to X-ray. Total cost for X-ray was RM330.

I went to see her again a week later to get X-ray results. She told me total cost for braces is RM6300 (not including the previous RM330), I have to wear the braces for 19 months.

When I said I want to consider, the doctor immediately turned hostile, and that consultation was RM300. If I let her proceed with the threatment, then RM300 will be deduced from RM6300. She insisted for me to sign the agreement.

I told her I would like to have second opinions before proceed. Then I sensed great changes in her attitude. So feeling pissed off, I reluctantly paid the RM300 to get my reports.

I paid a total of RM630 for NOTHING! I don't understand why taking report from her also needs RM300? BLOOD SUCKING!!

So if you do not want to waste money, please consider other more ethical doctors.

Is there a way I can complaint about this unethical behavior of a doctor? Has anyone tried MAO - Malaysian Association Of Orthodontists??
