Where to have spine surgery in Bangkok
Thank you very much for the reply. Doctor at BNH gave us two options which are: 1. One level disk replacement, and other level to put screws with something that makes space between c5 and c6. 2. If he can manage to put both disk replacement.

Where to have spine surgery in Bangkok
Went to the doctor today. Suggested surgery on two levels giving us two options. Total cost is 700k baht. We want to ask at Bangkok Hospital how much it would be because we clearly don't have that liquidity available.

Where to have spine surgery in Bangkok
We have an appointment this Saturday but they asked to redo the MRI and X-Ray because they are 1 year old. I was searching around the website to a place where to do this (because at BNH the cost for MRI is 15k + xray + other costs) and I bumped into Prachachuen Mri Center with good reviews and half the price for the MRI. I saw they have different branches in Bangkok and the ones convenient for me are in Chatuchak (HQ) and in Bangna. Do you know which one is better? From the picture in gmaps it looks like an old building and not very recommendable. Thank you

Two levels: c4-c5, c5-c6 and there is a mild compression fracture of C5. My girlfriend said we are talking about at least 420K. Do you know if we can walk-in at BNH hospital and talk with Prof. Wicharn?

What did you do there? And if I may ask, how did you pay? Did you have health insurance?

Do you know roughly how much is the fee for consultation with Prof. Wicharn Yingsakmongkol at BNH? 1k, 2k or more?

Thanks for the comment. How about S Spine Hospital? Any experience here? P.s. unfortunately my girlfriend doesn't have health insurance, she stopped working few years ago because of this and I'm a mere teacher in a government school so paying the hospital fee will be extremely difficult for us. Do you have any suggestion how we can pay? A fundraiser campaign would be useful?

Where to have spine surgery in Bangkok
Dear all, do you know any good place where to have spine surgery? My girlfriend has this condition: - Grade 1 retrolisthesis of C5 over C6 vertebra - Degenerative change of cervical spine with 1.) C4/5 level mild spinal canal stenosis with mild right neural foramen narrowing. 2.) C5/6 level mild spinal canal stenosis with moderate bilateral neural foramen narrowing. We did the MRI at Siriraj Hospital but the doctors told us that surgery is not needed. Unfortunately, I think that is the only way for my girlfriend as she has a lot of pain, numb both arms and part of leg and given the MRI results, the situation is above serious. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you
