Hospital Choice

[thaisabai]

I have recently suffered from quite some serious conditions (fainting, shortage of breath, weakness) and my doctor on the ship where I work recommended to see a cardiologist during my vacation.

I have 3 hospitals in mind:

Pattaya International hospital

Bangkok Pattaya hospital

Bumrungrad Bangkok

any advise which one would be the best choice?

thanks in advance

Bumrungrad for cardiology?

You would be better off at the Bangkok Hospital Group or Piyavate.

No contest.

I agree. I know folks that have had diagnoses, tests, and operations big and small, and I've never heard a complaint.

Very good recommendation.

And yes, for cardiology Bumrungrad, not Bangkok Hospital. But it really depends on which doctor you choose.

And for cardiology, definitely go to Bangkok, much better than Pattaya.
