Dabawenyos can now look more beautiful than ever with the opening of celebrity beauty doctors Manny and Pie Calayan’s Clinic at the second level of SM Lanang Premier.
The only branch in Mindanao and only the second one outside of Metro Manila, the clinic promises to give Dabawenyos the same personalised and caring treatment that have endeared the doctor couple to their patients, both in Metro Manila and in other parts of the country.
“We’ve gained global expertise and valuable experience from our US stint and this enables us to bring our practice to a whole new level, and make these available to Filipinos,” says Dr. Manny.
Dr. Pie Calayan, a vegan herself, yoga practitioner and advocate of alternative treatments, has focused on a holistic approach into their practice, providing patients with care that goes beyond physical procedures and addresses their entire sense of well-being – body, mind and psyche.
“It’s no longer just about looking good on the outside, but also feeling good on the inside,” she shares. “For instance, when patients come to me for acne treatments, we don’t just address the obvious symptoms. We unravel every factor that could be causing their breakouts—dietary, environmental, even spiritual—and aid our patients in addressing these root causes.”
The same approach is also employed with patients undergoing Dr. Manny’s cosmetic procedures.
“We provide them with recommendations on how they can maintain their post-surgical figures for long-lasting and sustainable results,” adds Dr. Pie.
The 150-square meter clinic has all the facilities for simple facial and botox services to the more complex rhinoplasty and liposuction procedures. “Our clinics are complete, with consultation and treatment lounges, as well as an operating room and a recovery room for the patient.” added Dr. Manny. “We do all the major procedures ourselves and will actually be here in the Davao clinic to take consultations as well as do scheduled procedures every Friday of the week.”
After twenty successful years in the business, Drs. Manny and Pie still continue to provide personalized dermatological and surgical service to their patients.
Dr. Manny reiterates the importance of relationship-building and gaining the trust of every patient.
“Our patients come to us hoping to find a better option, improve their life…and I do empathize whatever are their reasons. We are here to help them step by step in their personal journey.”
In keeping with this personal commitment, the power couple, also widely renowned as “celebrity doctors to the stars,” continue to maintain the trust and confidence of their growing multi-generational clientele.
