Can anybody recommend a good doctor and/or hospital in Khon Kaen for a hernia repair? Thanks

Does the price matter?

There is a Bangkok Hospital in Khon Kaen, i've never been in this one, but i think in Bangkok Hospital you can't do much wrong, but this comes of course with a price. Other hospital can be good too and are probably cheaper.

Try the Khon Kaen Ram hospital, opposite the Central Plaza. I had a hernia op there 10 years ago.

It's fine.

 

I assume you have an insurance to cover the cost.

In this case Khon Kaen RAM is indeed a convenient option.

 

The surgery might be done by the same doctor as at Sri Nakarin (Srinagarind) University Hospital.

Just with better assistance and accommodation.

 

I can not comment on Bangkok Hospital Khon Kaen.

Just that a mate told me that they have the same problem as others: having qualified doctors on-site during daytime. They also rush from their duties at Sri Nakarin or other public hospitals to start making money at the private clinics/hospitals after 5 PM and on Saturdays/Sundays.

Thanks for the replies. I will check them out.

I have been inside several in KKn but I say Ratchapruek hospital is about the best, my wife has worked there and recommends it.

Went there with my visiting mother once.

Outstanding service.

 

Open surgery, or laparoscopic, big difference in cost, and recovery time.  Ask around,
