We have not joined SGK, but have always 'paid as we go' for treatment at the Esnaf when required, the charges used to be reasonable. We have noticed recently that there has been a substantial increase in the charges. For instance recently I went for treatment for an ingrown toenail, the consultant explained that part of the nail required removing, and the procedure would take approx 10 minutes. One of the reception clerks informed me that the cost would be 1,6000 ytl, astounded, I said that I would think about it. On the way out the clerk caught up with me and said that they could do the op for 1,000 ytl, again I repeated that I would think about it. The consultation cost 65 ytl and I had a 2 hour wait for it.
I went straight to 'Kanguru Chiropody and Beauty Centre', I was seen straight away. Jacqui a qualified chiropodist removed part of the problem ingrown toenal and the charge was 50ytl.
