It is just for me as my wife has insurance at another hospital. What kind of doctor would a 70 year old man normally see?

Sheryl Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 It's an InternistThey frankly tend not to be very good in Thailand with a few exceptions. Will not have trained abroad.There is an Anerican GP here at Mission hospital licensed to practice in Thailand, Dr. Nick Walters. Your best bet if looking for a GP type.
