Donovan KrugerMedical treatment, Ho Chi Minh City
While on vacation we visited the hospital. I am happy with the staff and the doctors. They ran the appropriate tests. The care is affordable. They showed genuine care for my family. I am pleased. The hospital is modern, clean and well managed. They welcomed me by speaking English and any challenges we had language wise, we resolved through Google Translate or a little extra effort. No need to be upset. I don't see any reason to say this is not an excellent hospital. It is an excellent hospital.
