Hi there

I have a hip problem and am looking for an orthopedic surgeon to diagnose it. Dr Mason at Bumrungrad appears well qualified. Can anyone recommend him, is he thorough? Does he rush his consultations? (as many do at Bummers)

As I my experience of Bumrungrad has not been positive i was wondering if anyone knows if he consults at another hospital.

Can anyone recommend another specialist as highly qualified as Dr Mason that works at another hospital?

many thanks

DM

Over the years there has been a lot of feedback on Dr Mason, all of it very positive. Certainly do not have the impression he rushes things, has been described as very thorough and helpful and a number of TV members have been pleased with their experiences/surgeries with him.

However my impression is that shoulders are his particular sub-specialty. You may do better -- especially if hip replacement is a possibility -- to look for someone more specifically specializing in hips.

Some suggestions along those lines:
