Highly uncompetitive pricing, but on some new items, you may be able to buy from here for a relatively cheap price exploiting their pricing mistakes.

I've bought two things from here on 2 different occasions, a PSU and a gaming mouse both worth over $350 together. got them both for really cheap (under $300) because these guys made mistakes with the pricing and sold them for really cheap. The next week I went in, they fixed the prices for both products.

I still drop by when I have time to check for any other exploitable pricing but otherwise, I wouldn't buy from these guys as they are highly overpriced on most of their goods.

The shop is clean and the service is good though.

Very expensive and ineffective treatment. The physio here is kind but he seems unskilled. He treats patients with acupuncture but does not massage effected area.

The acupuncture had quick but temporary effects but massage from a different physiotherapist in West Ryde was more effective.

I've seen him over back, knee and shoulder problems. I'd say he hasn't helped me much with these problems and in some cases made them worse.

But this was only from my experience, he is a qualified physiotherapist and is very kind.

Approximate cost: $75 returning treatments

This review is for Proview Optical, Chatswood NSW

If you're after any of following, this place is a highly recommended place for your optical needs:
- high quality but expensive brand glasses
- kind and helpful staff
- skilled optometrist

They tend to be slightly more expensive than other places but they give great (I mean GREAT) after service so I think it's worth it. They were lenient enough to fix my glasses for free even though it was 3 months over its warranty period.

The store is clean and the people are friendly, I give this place 4/5 only because they tend to only stock expensive glasses.

I've had a bit of salad and some chicken snitzels from here, the food quality was satisfactory but the salad was very unfresh and dead.

Other than that, it has average service and maybe a little bit steep price for the quality of food they offer.

Approximate cost: $9+

I was reluctant to join womo even though my brother has asked me to join repeatedly. Now I see why he has been asking me. Womo is an excellent website. Not only they're helpful you can contribute. Thank you womo.

Pretty standard thai take-away/delivery store. I ordered their chicken pad thai, and they were pretty quality. The proportion was reasonable for the value only during lunch time.

The lunchtime pad thai from my memory was about $4 cheaper.

They do delivery if you order more than $25, during 5~10pm so you can get 2 dishes delivered to your door if you can't be bothered to go out.

Overall they're good value during lunchtime but I wouldn't come here during dinner, I'd add a couple more dollars and go to a proper thai restaurant.

Approximate cost: $10~15

I ordered some crispy chicken with my mum, and mine came out after my mum finished hers and so I asked them to just pack it as a takeaway. I got home later and the chicken was all burnt, hardly edible so I had to scrape off half of the chicken.

This place is horrendous, although it used to be good before. If I had a sincere apology, I wouldn't be writing this now but the people there were just blaming each other when I confronted them.

I'd stay away from here if you want eat the food the day you order.

Approximate cost: $10 + 30 min of your time

This review is for Arc Computers, Chatswood NSW

Has good price for computer parts. If you are just picking up parts, this place is great but the people working here have little to no idea what they'er talking about.

For example, I asked for an IEC cable and they had no idea what it was. One of the guys also thought I could run my Radeon 6990 with 500 watt PSU.

The guys here are very reluctant to give you discounts, when I've bought like $600+, they wouldn't give me like $5~10 discount to round it down to the nearest hundred dollars. Nevertheless price at chatswood arc is pretty competitive.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this shop for the experts or advanced people but if you have limited knowledge, I suggest studying online what exactly you need before visiting this store. Doing so will save you a trip or two back to the store.

This review is for Advance Dental Care, Chatswood NSW

I had my wisdom tooth taken out here, the dentist gave me a discount (I paid $225).

I had a dry socket on the spot where I had my wisdom tooth taken out, I got paranoid because the gum wouldn't fill the gap for like a month and kept visiting the dentist. The dentist kindly didn't charge me for any of these followup visits and just removed food build-ups from the dry socket and applied medicine on it.

The dentist is very nice (he is Korean) and he genuinly cares for you. If you need something done, he will explain to you in detail the risks, and the benefits.

The dentist graduated from Usyd and is very professional. He has more than 10 years of experience and is very keen to help you. He seems to give discounts if you seem to be a student.

He is one of the best dentists and you should try him out if you live or work near Chatswood.

This review is for N Plus Clinic, Chatswood NSW

I've had lots of skin/allergy problems which many other doctors including dermatologists and allergists couldn't help me with. Dr Janet Kim from Nplus solved my problem within 3 months, through natural supplements. Turns out I was lacking zinc and omega 3.

The best thing about this doctor is that she deals with the root of problems, such as lifestyle, food and consults you with what should be changed. She helps you maintain overall health by educating on nutrition, and their roles in our body.

This doesn't mean that she isn't like any other GP, she is fully capable of treating and diagnosing more common ailments such as Rotary virus, Flu, and prescribing you with medicine.

One downside is that you can't Bulk Bill her consultation fees, although you can claim around 35 dollars back from medicare (standard consultation fees are $70).

The clinic is clean, has a lot of apple devices and is very inviting. The only downside is that she's booked out most of the time so you have to call her 2 weeks + in advance to get a good timeslot.

There is also a Douglas and Hanly Moirs nurse inside the clinic that you can book for tests which the Dr. asks you to take so it is very convenient, and you don't need to travel around to get your blood tests done.

Approximate cost: $70
