“You can fly to Vietnam, stay a month, get your teeth done—and still spend less than you would back home.” – Niall Mackay
Annie Vo finally made it on the podcast—and it was well worth the wait. This is Part 2 of our conversation, and in this episode, we dug into something I find really fascinating: what it takes to run a truly modern, ethical dental clinic in Vietnam.
Annie and her husband have built something rare. They’re not just doing dentistry—they’re creating a model for what healthcare in Vietnam can look like when done right. This episode gives an honest look into the challenges they’ve faced and what it means to grow a values-based business in a fast-changing environment.
The episode wasn’t just about teeth—it was about trust, business ethics, raising standards in Vietnam, and Annie’s bigger mission to change the perception of dental care here.
