Refund enquiries

Begin with the details that let the clinic find the correct record. Include your full name, a contact number or email address, the date and approximate time of the appointment or purchase, and whether the matter relates to the Kwun Tong or Prince Edward clinic. Identify the service in ordinary language. If an appointment was booked for someone else, explain your connection to that booking and give the patient’s details only to the extent needed to locate it. A brief opening such as “I am enquiring about payment for my appointment on [date]” is more useful than a long account with no transaction details.

Add the amount paid, payment method, receipt number or transaction reference where available, and a photo or scan of the receipt if it is clear and relevant. Do not send a full bank-card number, account password, security code, or unrelated financial documents. If a receipt is missing, say that directly and provide alternative details such as the date, amount, payment channel and the name used for the booking. A precise record helps distinguish a question about one visit from a general question about future treatment or a separate family member’s booking.

Explain what happened in a short timeline. For example: an appointment was made, an attendance was changed, payment was made, and you are now asking for a particular point to be checked. Separate confirmed facts from what you are unsure about. If you were told something by phone, WhatsApp or in person, include the date and retain the message or note. This does not require a formal legal letter. It gives the team a fair, readable basis to compare the enquiry with the transaction record and the arrangement in force at the time.

Finally, state the outcome you are seeking. You may be asking whether a payment was recorded twice, whether an unused portion of an arrangement can be considered, whether a cancellation question applies, or simply how the clinic understands a charge. Specificity avoids the ambiguity of “please refund me” and allows a focused reply. The Hong Kong Consumer Council likewise asks complainants to prepare transaction details, supporting documents and their desired outcome when seeking its help [1]. That is a practical checklist for any well-organised service enquiry, although a clinic review remains its own process.

A useful review starts by matching the enquiry to the right kind of arrangement. A future appointment that can no longer be attended is not the same as a concern about an already completed consultation, treatment or medicine collection. Nor is a payment-record query necessarily a request for money back. Say which of these situations applies and whether any part of the booked service has already taken place. Where the question is about a forthcoming visit, read Changing or cancelling an appointment and mention the appointment date when you get in touch. This helps keep a scheduling question separate from a completed-service enquiry.

The clinic will need to consider the information available for that individual transaction, including what was booked, what was supplied or provided, the timing of any change, the payment evidence and relevant communications. It is sensible not to assume that every concern has the same remedy. In consumer disputes, possible outcomes can vary; the Consumer Council notes that a matter may be resolved in ways other than a refund, such as an exchange, repair, benefit or extension, depending on the case [1]. That general point is not a promise of any particular outcome from TCM Lab; it is a reason to describe the result you are seeking while remaining open to the review.

If your question arises from information on this website, distinguish the webpage from the actual service record. The Website terms and conditions may help with website-use questions, while an appointment, payment or clinic-service enquiry needs the details of the relevant transaction. Likewise, the site’s Health information and medical disclaimer explains the limits of general health information; it does not decide what happened in your individual appointment. Keeping these topics apart prevents a general policy page from being mistaken for an answer to a specific financial query.

If you believe information given in the course of trade was false, misleading or incomplete, preserve the material you saw as well as your receipt and messages. Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department states that it enforces the Trade Descriptions Ordinance, which aims to protect consumers by prohibiting false trade descriptions and false, misleading or incomplete information in trade [2]. That public information does not determine whether a particular refund is payable, and this page is not legal advice. It does underline why a dated screenshot, quotation, receipt and correspondence can matter if you later need to explain the sequence of events to the clinic or an appropriate external body.

Please contact TCM Lab by WhatsApp or telephone at +852 6940 5663 and make clear that your message is a refund enquiry. Start with the transaction-identifying details, then attach only the documents that support the question. If you use WhatsApp, a compact message followed by a clear receipt image is generally easier to review than several unsorted screenshots. Keep copies of what you send. If you are communicating for another adult, avoid sharing their health or payment information unless you are authorised to do so and it is relevant to the enquiry.

Use a calm and specific subject line or first sentence: “Refund enquiry — [appointment date] — [location].” Then set out the key events in date order and name the response you seek. If a payment entry is duplicated, identify both entries. If you are unsure whether an appointment was cancelled, say what you understood and when you notified the clinic. Do not rely on a memory of a conversation when an email, receipt, message or booking confirmation can show the same point. The aim is not to overwhelm the reader; it is to make it possible to check one identifiable matter accurately.

For a location-specific query, you may also use the contact information for the Kwun Tong Chinese medicine clinic or the Chinese medicine clinic Prince Edward. Please do not turn up expecting a decision at the reception desk while the enquiry is still being checked. A written or WhatsApp record gives both sides a consistent reference point and makes it easier to request any missing receipt, date or booking detail. If the enquiry concerns an appointment that is still ahead, contact the clinic as soon as possible rather than waiting until after the appointment time.

If you remain dissatisfied after communicating directly, the Consumer Council accepts complaints about goods and services bought from traders by individual consumers for private consumption and handles qualifying matters through conciliation [1]. Its role is not to investigate or adjudicate, so it cannot itself decide a case or order a particular refund. The Council explains that a complainant should provide contact details, trader details, transaction facts, supporting documents and the desired outcome [1]. Its stated channels include an e-form and other contact options listed on its official website [1]. Consider independent legal advice for a question about your legal rights or obligations. For a general introduction to the clinic, visit the Chinese medicine clinic Hong Kong page; for this enquiry, the transaction record remains the key information.
