jocsum Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Actually, Sirikit Heart Center has no website, but KK Ram should be able to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klikster Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Sirikit Heart Center has an excellent reputation, but is associated with Khon Kaen University rather than KK Ram. happynthailand .. if you do have any procedures done at Sirikit, please relate your experiences.

farangme Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Nephew had heart surgery at Sirikit in KK. Younger doctors are cheaper, but are in training. May want to pay more for a senior doctor. This is number one place for the heart surgery in Issan. Sent from my PC36100 using Thaivisa Connect App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Actually, Sirikit Heart Center has no website, but KK Ram should be able to tell you. http://www.heart.kku...&view=frontpage The english content is a bit meager, but at least contact info is there: http://www.heart.kku...id=53&Itemid=30 Medical services: For medical services, the Center provides specific and effective checks-ups using sophisticated medical equipment such as: - Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) - Echocardiography - Exercise Stress Test - Holter Monitoring and Diagnostic Arrhythmias - Pacemaker Implantation - Cardiac Catheterization - Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasy : PTCA - Percutaneous Balloon Valvulotomy : PBV - Arrythmia Therapy - Cardiac Surgery Edited December 11, 2012 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaYaiLen Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Don't know if you will get this since it is late but I am a patient in KK heart hospital. Had 3 stents put in almost 2 years now. The hosital - like most things in Thailand - is some good and bad. GOOD- good doctors and state of the art equipment. In typical Thai style they offered either By-Pass or stent surgery and advised me of the costs. On the operating table they made certain that I knew the cost before proceeding, but they took care of me okay. No cheap room available but the VIP suites were great. The bad - 3 stents + room etc for 3 days around $8,000. After for your 90 day check-up ( only get meds for 90 days at a time) the lines are LONG.. the parking is bad , but they have opened a new parking lot for 10 baht parking that helps a lot but you need to get there early in the morning otherwise you may have to walk a mile to the hospital. Most of the meds are cheap 1 bt a day per but the Plavix pill - if you do a stent(s) will run around 86 baht a day. There are cheaper alternative but mostly they are not recommended and the doctors recommend staying on it ( I figure a small price to help stay alive) Most speak a VERY little english but the doctors seem that I've had do speak english pretty good. The worse part is the time - get there at 8-8:30AM and out 10:30-11:30 but they are very helpful and doctors very good. Hope it helps a little.

There's no reason at all why you shouldn't move to generic Plavix, Appolets is manufactured by Berlin and is endorsed by just about every cardio surgeon in the country it seems, now that the Plavix copyright has expired - 800 baht for one month, I've been on it for three years without issue.

Taxis now available that should drop you at the door. I don't know about the heart center, but the parking at the UNI hospital seems like a km away. Actually, it seems like another km walk from the front door to the dental clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaYaiLen Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Unfortunately live outside Maha Sarakham - 1+ hour ride to hospital.
