In Reply to: Dr Sucipto's dental clinic posted by TnT on Tuesday, 19. April 2005 at 06:45 Bali Time:
Just returned from Bali and had work completed by Dr Sucipto.
Dr Sucipto is a first class dentist and he has the state of the art equipment. However Dr Sucipto is very very busy and he does not normally deal with routine work such as replacing amalgam fillings or teeth whitening.
A word of CAUTION, I booked over three months in advance for my work and when I arrived for my first appointment with Dr Sucipto, I was seen by another dentist in this practice with less than state of the art equipment and skills, although I confirmed at receptionon on the day and previously in writing that my appointment was with Dr Sucipto. I now have an amount of sub-standard dental work that will be a permanent souvenir of business in Bali. To Dr Sucipto's credit he did try to rectify this work but the quality will never be the same as if he had completed the work himself.
Be careful if you email this practice and receive communication from 'Michael' as he was the person I hold responsible for this act of deception. Michael needs a great deal of dental work (he proudly told me this himself, although I realized that six teeth in your head are far from a full set) and his motivation is questionable.
All said and done, I would be happy for Dr Sucipto to carry out any future work but I do not know if he will ever have the time to complete this mundane work. Would be nice to finish the work that was booked three months in advance.
