GI Doctor Hua Hin

[Neeranam]

Does anyone know a good GI doctor in Hua Hin area?

 

Hua Hin hospital premium service said I'd have to wait 3 months to see a doctor! 

 

Feels like my Schatzki ring has come back.

Don't try to deal with this in Hua Hin. 

 

Come up to siriraj in Thonburi

Any idea how much this would cost for an endoscope and possible balloon procedure.

 

Also, how long would it take to get an appointment? Basically, I can't eat anything non-liquid at the moment. 

 

I'd hoped to use my SS at the local hospital here..

Best to call them and ask.  Call center 1474. 

 

Which is your SS hospital?

Thanks, Sheryl!

Hua Hin Hospital. 

It's so hard to get an appointment with a GI doctor. 

Would you not even recommend any of the private hospitals here, or the foreign one -  Be Well Clinic? Going to Bangkok is very inconvenient at the moment,

Normally not, but there will be a GI specialist joining Be Well on 25 March who looks OK

Hua Hin Hospital is not a very high level hospital, lucky if they even have a GI specialist and would likely be not daily.

I went to Mahachai (Private Hospital) Hospital, Mahachai, several times to see an American-trained GI doctor there.   Excellent service.  And not expensive.  There appear to be no GI specialists in Prachachuap or Petchaburi.

 

I had to go back there a few weeks ago to see another specialist.  Left Hua Hin at 5.30 am, and arrived at the hospital a 7.45 am., after two toilet stops.

Thanks for that. I assume Bewell can't do an endoscopy, and balloon procedure, which I'm sure I need. So, they'd refer me to Bangkok Hospital. 

I'll see a doctor next week and maybe if he refers me to another hospital, I can use my Social Security.

I found one who seemed to know her stuff.  She is not always there but she explaied the procedure well to me. 

The slight danger of oesophageal rupture when using a balloon dilation etc. I persuaded her to give me something to sleep. 

Had to stay 2 nights there. 

The problem was that the scope couldn't get down on the first try as my tube was too narrow. 

 

There was a tear but she said this is not necessarily bad.

Very well qualified doc, until recently based in Bangkok at Chula. I didn't know she had moved to Hua Hin.
