Summary

In a reply to a Google review in June 2026 the clinic said the prices on its website had not been updated. Mobile phone +66 89 469 5571, also offered for WhatsApp on the contact page. Establishment year differs between the clinic's website (November 1994) and a directory listing (2002). Hours: Mon-Sat 09:00-18:30 per own site.
