Had a company physical in Dubai and the results show an elevated PSA level and need to see a urologist in BKK. Any experience or suggestions?

Dr Viroj at Bumrungrad 

As others have said  , very experienced, pragmatic doctor.  I have seen him, in the past, and I have complete confidence in his judgement.

Bumrungrad...............That name has a ring to it. Excellent place.

I had a high PSA level, and also a low free PSA level (not normally a good combination), I had an MRI which was inconclusive but suggested a  reasonable possibility of cancer (3/4 out of 5) . Another doctor (different hospital) wanted to go straight to biopsy. Viroj looked at my history and age , stuck his finger in and had a really good feel, about 3 minutes,  (never had a finger in there for that long before!) His conclusion was , don’t rush, wait 2 months and test again, and he strongly advised against rushing to a biopsy. (Which in my initial panic I wanted to do).  In the end, to my relief, he was proved right, after 2 months my PSA level was considerably lowered and after another 3 months it was normal. 

The PSA is without doubt a lifesaving test for many men but it needs careful interpretation by an experienced doctor, he is one , and I would say to anyone with a similar issue go see him.
