We often give opinions on the most preferred eating places so how about doing the same for healthcare? Without being libellous, if members wish to state anyone they liked being treated by and perhaps those they prefer not to use again (here on this forum or by pm if preferred), I would collate it into a list and publish it here. It could include those working in Dumaguete, Bacolod, Cebu and Manila and cover all medical and dental disciplines. Sometimes people need to make decisions urgently and a list at hand of recommended healthcare professionals would be useful.

 

As a follow-up. Saw Dr Calindawagan at Daro. Chalk and cheese. Helpful, attentive and took his time to answer all my questions. Delighted with his service and will return. Highly recommended!

 

My wife's father was recently treated at Silliman for a mild stroke and Dr. Denura was brought in for a cardiac consultation. I felt she was okay as a cardiac doc, but I did not like her personally at all. She walks into the room like a queen and expects everyone to stop what they are doing, get out of her way and be quiet when she enters. When she ordered that a colonoscopy be done, I was in the room and asked very politely and respectfully if she could explain her thinking about why she saw a need for that test ... she brusquely replied to me, "and where did you get your medical degree from sir".

 

I agree with Outcast. Had exactly the same experience with Sayson. Kept going on her cellphone, didn't listen to anything that was said to her. Never again.

 

It seems any old patient who is contemplating extractions requires you to have blood work and see a cardiologist. Smoking, hypertension and diabetes are risk factors.

She set me an appointment with Dr. Calinawagon.

He looked over the blood work analysis, took my blood pressure and asked a few questions in perfect English. He signed his John Hancock and accepted his P400 fee.

I was extremely happy with the way he treated me.

 

I would only recommend Dr Viola in Cebu. Doctors here almost killed me. He is american trained, keeps up his training regularly, and easy to talk to. He is a heart specialialist but also does general work.His number is 0977 920 945 1053

 

I had Dr. Denura recommended to me by a mutual friend and I am happy with her.
I don't know her personally, but she was pleasant enough to me and answered my questions.

 

We used Dr. Denura, she was very good. I have nobody else to compare her to, as she was recommended to us and was the only one we went to.

 

Having had extensive dealings with Denura I can say she is a very good cardiologist although Calinawagon wins in personality and spending the time needed to explain things and answer questions

 

I will never go back to dr. Sayson. it has nothing to do with her skils as a cardiologist, but more to do with her indifferent uncaring attitude.

i have heard good things about Dr. Susan Denura, but have no personal experiewnce with her yet.
