Orthpedic Surgeon

[MZurf]

A friend of mine has been involved in an accident and needs to have some bones rearranged in the right foot. Any recommendations wold be most welcome, preferably a doctor in Pattaya, but if necessary he wold go to Bangkok if the local talent is not good enough.

He is fully insured so price is of no consequence.

If price is of no consequence, I recommend Bumrungrad in Bangkok.

Bumrungrad would be a good choice..very good orthopedic doctors there and the rooms and service are excellent. You should send a pm to Sheryl who moderates the Health Forum here on thaivisa..she is very helpful and I am sure she can direct your friend to the right doctor there.

He shouldn't hang about either....the best time to fix this is as soon as the swelling eases enough.

I can highly recommend my surgeon, Dr. Phanyarat. He is assigned to the Ao Udom hospital, but performs surgery also at various private clinics around the area. I had my operation at the Pattaya international hospital, but in the end it is the surgeon, not the hospital that makes the difference.

Given the choice again, I would have gone to the Ao Udom hospital.

Thanks for the advice. He opted to go for Bumrungrad.
