It was a star-studded grand opening for the Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center (GAOC) branch at Ayala Malls Vertis North, as celebrities, stars, and personalities all made time to show their support for Dr. Steve Mark Gan, chief of GAOC.

Some of the celebrities spotted at the grand launch of GAOC's 10th branch were Matteo Guidicelli, Vina Morales, Amy Perez, Jason Dy, Empoy, Dingdong Avanzado, Maymay Entrata, Edward Barber, Robi Domingo, Billy Crawford, and Coleen Garcia.

According to Guidicelli, he first met Gan in 2008 and he has since been a patron of GAOC.

"Everything is very personal and you get the best quality, the best service. Even my grandpa used to go to Hong Kong, but when I introduced him to GAOC, he now goes to GAOC," he said.

Also present at the launch were Ruby Rodriguez, Jennylyn Mercado, Heaven Peralejo, Donnalyn Bartolome, Sarah Carlos, Andrea Del Rosario, Allan K, Roxanne Guinoo, and Aaron Villaflor, who said he has been with GAOC for more than a decade.

"I was with them [since] 2004, if I'm not mistaken. Tito Boy Abunda recommended it to me and my fellow SCQ (Star Circle Quest) questors, and Erich Gonzales," Villaflor said.

"It's an honor and privilege for us to be part of the GAOC family and now I'm thankful kasi... it's growing so fast."

When asked what the secret is behind the trust and the support from so many celebrities and high profile personalities, Gan said, "I don't only treat them as patients. I treat them as real friends, as real people. The friendship is really genuine."

Gan's title "Dentist to the Stars," is due to celebrities flocking to his various clinics all over the metro. Some of Gan's loyal patrons and friends over the years have included Jericho Rosales, Enchong Dee, Liza Soberano, Tony Labrusca, Piolo Pascual, and Ruffa Gutierrez.

GAOC is a state-of-the-art chain of dental clinics offering implant dentistry, and prosthodontic and cosmetic procedures that are considered among the best in Southeast Asia.

The GAOC Vertis North location is the 10th branch in the country, its 130-square meter floor area equipped with the latest in digital dental technology, spic-and-span treatment rooms, sterilization and consultation rooms, and an operating room for complicated dental procedures.

The doctors are all experienced dental practitioners with credentials and training from top local universities and even global institutions.
