Sukanja came to our English speaking dental practice in Split for three tooth implants. Her second time in Croatia; the first for a holiday.. the second time to show her adventurous, young daughter a little more of the World’s beauty, while taking care of an errand at the same time. Namely, some dental work abroad.
I asked Sukanja if she thought dental procedures in Croatia were cheap. She told me that treatment was around 20% cheaper than back home in Switzerland, but, that the lower price wasn’t the reason she booked abroad. It was most important for Sukanja to find someone with a lot of experience, if her daughter hadn’t been so been so eager to go travelling, she would have had the treatment done at home. This dental holiday was a happy accident.
Sukanja admits that she has been really surprised by how positive her Croatian dental experience turned out to be. Scared of needles and with bad past-experience with dentists… it’s safe to say Sukanja doesn’t look forward to her annual checkup. However, she expressed that Marina is a real people person and made her feel at ease immediately. “It’s hard to find a person like that, you know, someone who has that feeling with people. Marina has so much experience but she is kind with you… it makes you feel relaxed and safe.” She told me, “Dental Care Croatia has been really flexible with all the appointment arrangements and friendly… it’s not like that in Switzerland. They can be really straight and don’t talk to you, which is hard if you’re a nervous patient.”
When I asked Sukanja why she chose to come to Dental Care Croatia, she told me that she and her husband were deciding between two dental clinics in Split that they had found on Google… her husband had simply pointed at Marina’s photo online and declared, “That’s the one. I have a good feeling about her.”
