A very positive experience at this clinic! Albania was my first time there, and I was pleasantly surprised by the service. ✨ I would like to personally thank Dr. Sheraj and Dr. Zanaj, who listened attentively and perfectly understood my needs! 😁 I highly recommend them!

Due to negative experiences with dental in the US, I was extremely hesitant about getting dental work while traveling. However, having been to Valona Dental, that fear is entirely unfounded! The staff here is exceptionally professional, kind, helpful and the cost of services is affordable. I was able to request a root canal, crown, and three fillings, and not only did each service take about 30…

mins each, it was entirely painless and healing was fast. The dentist is extremely professional and the staff are wonderful. I will keep recommending this location for all dental services, and even my friends in the US want to visit just to get their dental completed! :)

If you want a man to stand over you waving sharp instruments centimeters from your face while talking down to you and not answering your questions, this is the place for you. Like hell I’m going to submit my body to someone who doesn’t treat me as an equal human being. I’ve learned the hard way to watch out for this cultural feature. And the man didn’t know why I was there. Probably didn’t…

’t listen to the receptionist tell him. He didn’t introduce himself or tell me if he was a technician or a dentist. I don’t understand the good reviews. This place is not professional. I left immediately. If you decide to go here because of all the high reviews, pay attention to how they treat you: if their culture of domination, out of insecurity, means they'll bulldoze you instead of listen. Update: look at AI's fantastic job of rebutting my concerns below!

Having come from France, I took my parents to the Valona Dental Clinic here in Vlorë. They both received professional care, with very satisfactory results that met all our expectations. Drs. Zanaj and Sheraj both ensured that my parents left with smiles on their faces. The staff was warm, attentive, and took their needs and concerns into account. The fact that the clinic welcomes international…

Excellent clinic, excellent staff, not to mention Dr. Andi Zanaj, he is extraordinary.
Steven Tjien-Fooh via Google 5.0 out of 5
My wife's tooth broke off while we were on vacation in Vlorë. I went to this dentist on Tuesday, October 28th. My wife first had to have an x-ray taken there. The dentist then examined her and scheduled an appointment for Thursday, October 30th. On Thursday, my wife had a zirconium crown placed. Everything was done very professionally, and the assistants were very respectful, helpful, and…

friendly, even though we don't speak Italian or Albanian. All in all, this is a dental practice I recommend if you're in Vlorë and experiencing dental problems.

Alex Sleep via Google 5.0 out of 5
Highly recommend. It's a professional, modern facility with the best dentist. Dr. Andi is thorough in his examination and provides several treatment options and recommendations, while his office staff is always polite and accommodating. The best kept secrete is the price of treatment. Only a fraction of the cost you would pay in US or EU with the same quality, professionalism and care. Hope…

My experience R was, of course, they're great. I recommend them 100%
Volodymyr Rozhelyuk via Google 1.0 out of 5
Dishonest. I paid by card, but he told me the money hadn't arrived, so I paid in cash. The next day I brought a receipt from the bank, but nothing happened. He denied everything. I don't recommend it.

Very lovely staff and they did my mini extraction for free. So nice of them
Inas El hamdi via Google 1.0 out of 5
I was on vacation in Albania with an Albanian friend, and we decided to have a cleaning and teeth whitening at this clinic. Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing and unprofessional experience. The dentists were rude and impolite from the start. The dentist who treated me repeatedly responded arrogantly to both me and my friends. During the treatment, she moved my tray, and when I told her…

er it hurt, she rudely replied, "If you didn't want it to hurt, you wouldn't have gotten whitened." She showed no attention or sensitivity to the patient during the procedure. At the end of the treatment, my friend and I asked to pay by card, but were told it wasn't possible because there was no receptionist and that we had to pay in cash. She repeatedly insisted that we withdraw money. Since we couldn't, we agreed to return the next day to pay by card. The next day, the receptionist told us the POS wasn't working and again insisted on cash payment. When we explained that we couldn't, they forced us to make a bank transfer on the spot, without offering any alternatives or apologizing for the inconvenience. Overall, a very negative experience, both due to the rudeness of the staff and the lack of professionalism and transparency in payments. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The result exceeded my expectations: natural and flawless, performed with such precision that I couldn't tell the difference between the treatment and the rest of my teeth. The staff was also incredibly kind. I'm more than satisfied!
Sti M via Google 5.0 out of 5
Super positive experience, very welcoming staff and Dr. Andi Zanaj very good
