Hello,

 

can someone recommend me a good neurologist in the Bangkok area? I got a diagnose from a Bumrungrad neurologist and want to get a second opinion.

 

Thanks in advance!

What type of probem? Neurologists have sub-specialties e.g. movement disorders, epilepsy etc etc

I got diagnosed with a lumbosacral plexitis/plexopathy. As far as I understood its a nerve inflammation based on unknow source.

Actually LSP can have a very wide range of causes, including: tumors, hematomas, infections, trauma, vasculitis, and other inflammatory processes. An aggressive search for the cause should be made as treatment will vary depending on this. An electromyogram may be4 needed to distinguish LPS from other neuroapthies

In terms of doctor - I suggest  https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Weeraworn-Nakarawat

Thanks @Sheryl, as always your input is very helpful. Especially the scientific paper, which caused me to bring it up with the Dr. and do additional blood tests (MRI & EMG was done).

I am actually with Dr. Weeraworn at the moment. Which I'm in fact very happy with, however do you have a Dr. suggestion for a second opinion?
