Hospital Or "Foot Specialist"?

[ForumUsername]

Hi all,

I wont bore you with all the details, but the last few days I've basically been unable to walk very well; pretty much in agony with my left foot any time I walk for more than 5 minutes.

I would like to get someone to look at it as soon as possible but not sure what my best option is. Can I just turn up at the hospital and explain my problem (then pay a fee there) or is there a specialist foot place that I can go to? And for that specialist place, would an appointment need to be booked?

Thanks in advance!

According to Dr. Paiboon at Ram, there is only one foot/ankle orthopaedic specialist in Chiang Mai (if that's what you require).

Dr. Tanawat Vaseenon MD Foot and Ankle Specialist - Orthopaedic Trauma

Clinic Mon - Thur 1730 - 2000

110 Intavaroros Rd, Sriphum, Muang Chiangmai 50200

Office 053 945544

Mobile 080 8505087

You may not need an orthopaedic surgeon, but he's a personable younger guy and I'm sure will give you correct advice. http://poppy.obrl.uiowa.edu/CV%20&%20Biosketch/Tanawat%20Vaseenon%20CV.pdf

Thank you very much Uptheos.

I'm going to see a Dr Sudhee today, though I hear he's constantly busy, and will try that contact on Monday when he is available.

Thanks again

Dr Sudhee is eminent and will also give you good advice.

Like anything else it's always good to get a second opinion. Dr Sudhee will no doubt do xrays, make sure you take them with you after the consultation (they are yours) so you don't need to double up if you do opt for a second opinion.

Good luck
