OZBARGAIN

I am posting this deal on behalf of a friend.
She has a dental practice in Jindalee, Brisbane, and she is running a promotion for September.
At Herman Dental Clinic, your friendly dentist in West Brisbane, you can get a Checkup, 2 x Bite Wing XRays, a Scale Clean and Fluoride Treatment for $99.00 only (valid for September).
My understanding is that such a service would normally cost $305.00
You can email from the webpage or call on 07 3279 4455 to arrange an appointment.

Just got a call from her and, if you mention OZBARGAIN, she will give you the ozabargained price of $90.00
Thank you

    This is an awful dental practice. I've had friends go there for a regular checkup and end up with bills totalling more than $2k. Unlike other dentists this one doesn't tell her patients what the cost is before doing any procedures.

    She used to operate under a different name until the complaints started rolling in. She's renamed everything to get rid of bad press on the web.

    • XCelR8 on 03/09/2015 - 22:01

        • escusemay on 03/09/2015 - 23:30
          +2

          @freakthe:

          My understanding of being reprimanded means you get 'blacklisted' on the AHPRA site for a certain period of time (in Mirela's case, it's 3 years from 18 Feb 2014) and you're not allowed to practice for a certain period (usually a few months). I'm a pharmacist and one of my colleagues was reprimanded a couple of years ago. They weren't allowed to 'practice' for about 3 months.

          If the 'Registration Status' in the AHPRA site shows you're 'Registered', then you're allowed to practice. If 'Reprimanded', then you're not allowed to practice.

          TL;DR, reprimanded means you get a slap on the wrist, can't work for a few months, and your name gets blacklisted for a certain period of time so potential employers (and patients) can get a warning if they're savvy enough to look you up on AHPRA

        • unity1 on 03/09/2015 - 23:41

          @takamine: Your colleague would have been suspended for 3 months. A reprimand doesn't necessarily result in a suspension.

          @takamine:
          Thanks for the explanation @takemine. Great that you are a pharmacist - coz to my understanding, a pharmacy must be owned/operated by a registered pharamcist.
          If the pharmacist owner/manager is reprimanded, he/she will not be able to run the business - even though he/she is not prescribing drugs. Would that be correct?

    Technically she should be reprimanded for posting this deal as well. There is the reason you do not see medical deals on Oz bargain. It is because, online advertising on Facebook and other places such as this is against the rules in most medical boards in Australia, the dentist is trying to get around the rules again by having a friend post this deal.

      The ADA doesnt have anything specific against advertising in public sites and forums. The most notable difference is that unlike other countries like USA they don't allow patient testimonials or before/after style photos. Also patients should not be pressured or scared into taking up treatments.
      Apart from that they are quite strict on usual advertising conditions like "dont be mieading", " state all T&Cs clearly"

        That kinda bothers me. Regardless of the quality of service, this sort of promotion is frowned upon by both the medical community and OzBargain guidelines. As a fellow doctor, it cheapens our profession. We shouldn't encourage it.

    How unfortunate. I wonder if you can ever come back from something like this.

    Thought I had found some scaling that could be done for cheap.

    From what I've read the check up and the bite x rays could be a window for her to suggest other unnecessary treatment. Sounds just like a cheap RWC and a 3K bill to change all your suspension bushings.

    Made the mistake of visiting a Dentist I found on a Shop A Docket for a "check up* many years ago. They found that I "needed" a filling plus heaps of other work. I stupidly agreed to the filling. I was 21 at the time and never needed a filling up until then and haven't needed one since. Thankfully I didn't agree to the other "required work". This reeks of the same scam.
