julio 2023It's been 13 years since I saw Dr. Chaiwat was treated and I am very happy with my crowns to this day! I've had absolutely no problems to this day and I'm extremely grateful to him to this day!
Matthew
abril 2019I got ripped off by Dr Pinachai AUD $12500 for a denture that lasted barely a year I complained strongly many times and he wouldn’t even explain himself Seriously avoid this clinic I only gave him 1 star because 0 wasn’t possible
Brian
noviembre 2018I was very pleased with the dental work that i had carried out at the hospital (new crown on broken tooth, whitening/bleaching of really badly discoloured lower front tooth and teeth whitening) Dr Tipapat and her assistants were excellent. I will return next year for more dental work. I highly recommend this facility.
Antje
noviembre 2017I was very surprised but also very glad that the diagnosis “caries under the crown, recommended treatment: remove the crown, make a filling and a new crown” was identified as wrong by just a brief glance into my mouth. After having a deep cleansing the “caries” disappeared. I can only recommend this dental clinic - they are simply the best 👍👍🍀

enero 2014My husband and I spend a few winter months in Phuket last 3 years. And every year we did teeth сleaning in this clinic. The quality was very good. My last visit was awful. I decided to change the seal on the front tooth and treat small cavities. Dentist was rude to me and unwelcoming. Treatment of teeth was painful. During treatment, the dentist pulled teeth strongly and shouted at assistant. No one has explained to me what was happening. I was really scared. It was the first time I met shouting Thai in Thailand and it was in this clinic. I will never return here.
