A Nice Trip to Dr. Sih's Cosmetic and General Dental Practice in Bondi, Sydney:
The whole experience started when I took my daughter, Tiffany (four and half years old), to see a dentist in Hong Kong in April 2007. We were told that she needed 4 "root canals" and 3 fillings done under general anesthetics, which would cost at least fifty thousand Hong Kong Dollars. I was very unsure about the suggested diagnosis and treatment.
I was very apprehensive and my good friend told me that i must see someone who is very reliable and trustworthy. She suggested that I should consider going to Sydney and visit her most trusted dentist, Dr. Andrew Sih.
I then called Dr. Sih over the phone. Dr. Sih was very kind and understanding. He asked me very detailed questions about my daughter's conditions, and then gave me a few suggestions as to what should be and could be done for Tiffany and the estimated costs.
I felt very comfortable and convinced after talking to Dr. Sih. He gave me confidence. I immediately booked flights with Tiffany to Sydney. On our first day of arrival, we went to see Dr. Sih. Dr. Sih was very professional and friendly when dealing with Tiffany, and I could tell that Tiffany really trusted him. Dr. Sih had allowed two afternoon sessions for the whole treatment.
During the first day of treatment, though Tiffany was a bit scared, she was
quite comfortable with Dr. Sih and was willing to listen to him and do what he told her to do, this normally would be quite difficult with little children visiting their dentists for the first time.
On the second day, Tiffany was so relaxed that she could go into Dr. Sih's clinic without me sitting beside her. She was beaming with smile after the whole procedure was done.
In actual fact, Tiffany only needed fillings done without any root canals. And she didn't need general anesthetics neither - all she was given was a child dosage of valium, laughing gas and local anesthetics, which was definitely less invasive.
All in all, I was extremely pleased with the whole experience and with the way that Dr. Sih handled Tiffany. Up till now, Tiffany still talks about her dental visit in Sydney, and actually wants to visit Dr. Sih again! When a child looks forward to her next dental visit, that says something about the dentist!
Another comment I wish to make is that, the total cost of Tiffany's dental treatment with Dr. Sih, including our return air tickets to Sydney, was considerably less than what I would have to spend if the work was to be done in Hong Kong.
Thank you, Dr. Sih
