GAOC continues to make waves in the industry by earning recognition from the World Business Outlook Awards and Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards

The Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center (GAOC) has established itself as one of the country’s leading dental players in the industry. This is a result of its quality of service and recognition that its patients are more than that; they’re partners. To them, functional dentistry and wellness take centre stage; aesthetics is secondary. This reputation, it seems, has spread beyond our shores and onto the international stage. Recently, the prestigious clinic earned a total of six awards from two of the world’s most respected business awarding bodies.

It seems that GAOC’s momentum continues to grow, not only as it expands the branches under its belt or its established reputation as a dental tourist destination, but also with the accolades it consistently collects. Last November, at the World Business Outlook (WBO) Awards 2024, GAOC earned three awards: the Best World-Class Treatment Centre in the Philippines, Most Comprehensive and Technologically Advanced Dental Services, and the overall Leading Dental Centre in the Philippines. As an added milestone, this was the first time that the WBO awarded a Philippine corporation.

The following month, in December, GAOC bagged another three honours at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards; its founder, Dr Steve Mark Gan, was awarded the Master Entrepreneur Award, GAOC as a whole earned the Corporate Excellence Award, and its sister company, Novodental, was given the Fast Enterprise Award.

The GAOC Gala was a momentous evening that celebrated the brand's rise. Hosted by Robi Domingo and GAOC vice president for communications Dr Abby Robles, the event recognised every person involved in the dental giant's success. Gan also recalled the 6 awards the company earned, remarking that “These achievements remind us that the work we do here is world-class and has a lasting impact.”

Altogether, these awards reinforce GAOC's world-class quality of care. With state-of-the art dental equipment and a partner-centric style of patient care, one is sure to receive only the best service possible. At the same time, it is proof of the excellence and quality that the Philippines is capable of, and drawing more eyes to our competitive scene.

If you're after that perfect smile, consider a clinic where every facet—its founder, facilities, care, and personnel—are not just locally recognised but internationally acclaimed. GAOC has proven its mettle to the world, promising to give everyone that enters through its doors a smile that will last a lifetime.

About

Tobias wants to write things that make people think, laugh, and reflect. He’s especially proud when he can sneak in a cheeky pop-culture reference or a pun in his titles and articles. 

He possesses a deep love of history, resulting from years of books, games, and museum visits. It was this fascination with the human endeavour that fostered his love of writing, spanning genres, tones, and moods. He one day hopes to write a novel—he just hasn't decided on a genre yet. A certified homebody, you'll often find him on the computer he built himself, binge-watching Seinfeld or House, playing his favourite gacha game, or reading a book.
