Guys. You should come to this clinic if you have a problem with your teeth. Seriously it’s worth it. The receptionist was really friendly. The doctor was really nice. I had to remove my tooth and the doctor was really good and gentle. She claimed the process was about 30 minutes and the truth is, it only takes around 10 minutes. Haha. I wasn’t expecting that. She said she over claimed so that the patient will be calm. And indeed I was. Definitely will come back again ! Thank you doctor !
