Summary
Halasan Dental Clinic is a two-branch private dental practice in Davao City led by Dr. Ruel John Halasan, who passed the Philippine Dental Board Examination. The San Pedro Street branch is the main clinic; a second branch operates on Quimpo Boulevard. The English-language website lists services spanning general, aesthetic, prosthodontic, endodontic, and surgical dentistry, including dental implants, and the clinic is described in multiple directory sources as PhilHealth-accredited. No published price list was found on the official site.
The clinic email on the contact page is [email protected] (missing an 'a'), while the domain is halasandentalclinic.com. The branch phone for Quimpo is (082) 235-7058; both branches share mobile 09177009053 and the same email. Reviews on the official site are undated and lack numerical ratings; no Google Maps rating was verifiable through accessible sources. ClinicFinderPH lists a different address (Quirino Ave.) and phone ((082) 297-3145) that could not be corroborated by the clinic's own website or other directory sources, and were not used. PhilHealth accreditation is referenced in multiple secondary sources but the accreditation number was not published on the clinic's own website and the PhilHealth PDF lists were inaccessible during this check.
