Eye Stroke - I need a good specialist

[steevjee]

I have recently had an eye stroke (BRVO) and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a Retinal Specialist in Chiang Mai or elsewhere that is trained to administer VEGF injections ?

Cost will be less at Sripat but crowded, long waits and can be hard to navigate the place without a Thai speaker

I think you are not updated. The new OPD Sriphat building is to be highly recommended. Waiting time, navigation and English proficiency are fantastic.

 

I had to dispel the same kind of misinformation on another forum.

How recently did it open? As I have had negative feedback in terms of wait time, navigation, English speaking quite recently, i.e. wihtin past month

How recently: I looked at my records and I have been there the

first time in November 2020. I don't know how much earlier it had

opened but I guess not long. Note that in 2011 I had been many

times to the old building, it was maybe not as dramatic as you

describe but indeed far below other better ones.

 

You have had negative feedback about the new Sriphat OPD???

I find it hard to believe, sorry. Or are you/they confusing it with the main Sriphat building?

I am not sure if all OPD services moved to the new building. I do know

that they have a people-mover shuttle between the two.

btw, same story with Lanna hospital in CM, for your records, they recently opened

a new Building 3 which is a far cry above the old original building.
