Billpro785 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Looking for Doctor/ Hospital in Bangkok to get 3rd opinion on a heel fracture surgery from motor bike accident. Doctor from Bumrungrad says surgery is needed to pin the heel in place, and Doctor from Mission Hospital says not needed. Looking for a 3rd opinion from Hospital in Bangkok area.

uhuh Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Which Dr from Bumrungrad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleP Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I go to thonburi 2 hospital. Most of the top docs are from siriraj which is the top teaching hospital in bkk.Bumrangrad is a cash cow for medical tourists where as mission was probably the worst hospital I attended in bkk. Bumrangrad has good docs but you pay double or treble what you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Best foot/ankle specialist in Thailand is Professor Bavornrit Chuckpaiwong. Harvard-trained. He can be seen at Siriraj Hospital, Phyathai 3 Hosp and also at Bumrungrad https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Bavornrit-Chuckpaiwong https://sites.google.com/site/ankleclinic/aboutus https://www.phyathai.com/doctor_detail/39917/ASSOC.PROF.DR.BAVORNRIT__CHUCKPAIWONG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can also be seen at Bumrungrad, that's why I asked which doctor. In this case, for a 3rd opinion, I would consult him not at Bumrungrad (loss of face issues). Maybe cheaper that way, too.

Sheryl Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 On the other hand there is a convenience factor as Xrays etc will all be online in your records at Bummers. I don:t think any problem to consult him for a second opinion there. But of surgery turns out to be needed and npot covered by insurance, woul;d be cheaper to do at Siriraj or Phyathai 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
