I had an appointment yesterday with Dr Seow,
He was awesome took the time to explain different options to me. He also was very understanding about me having some anxiety about dentists in general. I would highly recommend Dr Seow to anyone looking for a great dentist.

Not very happy that they charged my wife $85 to pretty much say he wasnt good enough to repair the teeth and we would have to see there other dentist at there other shop in rural view, went there and then payed another $50 for him to say he couldnt do it and the only one that could do it was in Brisbane, went to get a second opinion from another place and they said there are at least 4 people that can do it in Mackay (had to be done in the matar) got it done and was all successful. If you guys arent good enough to do it just say so and dont send us 1200kms away cause you dont want

Called to make an appointment, got their voice mail, left a message. They never got back to me, so I went elsewhere for my expensive teeth capping.
