New Delhi Dentist - Review

I recently visited Delhi for a bit of work and Dental Tourism on the side. I particularly liked the information given on the site of New Delhi Dentist for Overseas Patients and for Dental tourism in Delhi.

I reached the clinic via Delhi Metro - a air-conditioned Tram like train on a concrete elevated track - like the London Underground - but on an elevated track. The nearest station to the clinic was Kohaat Enclave and I took a rickshaw.

The Dental Clinic (site name is New Delhi Dentist ) was very neat and clean and I was greeted by the receptionist who was very courteous. I had made an appointment and was seen to promptly - no waiting etc as is so common in England.

Dr. Arun Grover asked a thorough Dental and Medical history and after examination told me what was wrong and explained the whole thing to me in detail. This process took more than 30 minutes and I was amazed by his insight. He gave me an estimate of how much the treatment would cost me and I was amazed by the price difference.

In England, if you walk into a central London dental dentists chair they take a minimum of 35 pounds for registration plus the cost of treatment and other things - the bill can easily run into a few hundreds if you have slightly complicated treatment.

I was very impressed with the service he provided. And the icing on the cake was the bill. I was amazed that the dental care prices are so different in different parts of the world. Dr Grover has trained in England, Guy's and St. Thomas of London - so I knew that the treatment would be world class.

The best part was that he charges the Delhites and overseas patients alike and he publishes the charges on his notice board in the clinic.

Other Dental practices in India charge differently as they view the foreigner's as a "cash cow" - apart from Dr. Arun Grover.

Overall, I would rate his services as 5- star and I am happy to recommend his services to anyone and when I go back again to Delhi, I will surely get a Dental checkup.

By the way, I stayed in a Bed and Breakfast in Delhi during my stay and was amazed at their services - but that would be another blog post! :-)

My friend, also a dentist who blogs at London Dental Blog, stayed at this place and his Delhi Inn Review can be read on my Blog.
