Dr Hung and Associates (Worldwide Dental) is one of Ho Chi Minh City's most established dental hospitals, operating since 1994 with Ministry of Health hospital status, a verifiable PhD-qualified founder, and strong external validation via 403 verified WhatClinic reviews. However, documented cases of post-operative nerve damage, multiple crown failures, and a recurring hard-sell pattern toward foreign patients introduce meaningful quality and trust concerns that tourists should weigh carefully.

1 word to describe the service here “Unprofessional”! It’s extremely difficult to find a staff when we need. We have to running around the building and floors to find someone. Staff keeps changing and have no idea who is taking care of us. Didn’t have a pleasant experience here. Won’t come back!
