M for Mike, M for MONEY, M for Milking me like a CASH COW!
Dr Mike intended to charge me $170 for just an X-ray and a brief one-minute exam. Without informing me of any changes to the cost of my appointment during the visit
I recently visited Manukau Road Dental for a dental hygiene appointment and my experience was extremely disappointing, frustrating and stressful.
My original appointment was for the $195 dental hygiene package ($175 for Dental Cleaning + $20 for the X-ray). Upon arrival, I wasn’t greeted by the receptionist, and my appointment with Dr. Mike Che felt rushed.
After the X-ray, he strongly advised me to forgo the dental cleaning I had scheduled and consider rescheduling for root canal treatments with his new quotation.
Despite not receiving the cleaning service, he intended to charge me $170 for just an X-ray and a brief one-minute exam. At no point did Mike inform me of any changes to the cost of the appointment.
After repeatedly highlighting this issue, Dr. Che admitted that he hadn’t informed me about the price change and offered a $30 discount.
However this lack of transparency and professionalism left a bad taste in my mouth, making me uncomfortable and frustrated.

I have been a patient of Dr. Che for many years. He is always my first choice for dental care. Dr. Che is professional, approachable, and has a good sense of humor, which helps make the treatment less stressful. I highly recommend Manukau Road Dental.

I can't believe it's taking me this long to write this review considering every day I put My teeth in I still can't get over it. About 3 months ago I had a accident which took out my 4 front top teeth. My mother recommended this dentist so of course I went there. I was lucky because ACC and WINZ paid for most of it and only certain dentists except these payments and lucky they are one of them. Not only did I get a perfectly fitted plate but she added 2 other missing teeth I had on it without me even knowing and as I was in shock when my accident happened as it also put me off work the people at this dentist were the best I've had with the support and communication and great price they got me through it and now my teeth look perfect and I can return to work. Thankyou all so much at manukau road dentist you truly care and do a fantastic job the service is 100 percent. Jackie shead

I had a wonderful experience getting my two boys' braces done by Dr Mei Wang.
From our initial discussion, Dr. Mei Wang developed a comprehensive plan that not only saves money but also ensures great results for both of my boys. It has been two months since they got their braces, and we have already noticed a significant difference in their teeth alignment. Every month, we visit Dr. Mei Wang for adjustments, and I appreciate how thorough and patient she is, especially considering one of my boy has more complicated dental issues.
We feel fortunate to have Dr. Mei Wang caring for our oral health and highly recommend her to others!

Mr Che is so patient and friendly. He is into detail and professional. I had tooth implementation since beginning of this year and lasted few months. Every time I went here, he cared my feeling and gave some professional suggestion. The most important is that they are very effective and efficient. I don’t need to wait few months. (Before here? I went to see few dentists, and they all told me to wait for few months. Only this one I don’t need to wait so long, and I feel nice for all staff here.)My best recommendation!
