[daveology]

Anyone had it done here in Chiang Mai? any information or recommendations?

St Peters and Ram seem to be the best just from internet searching, but i'm looking for anyone who can give me 1st hand knowledge

Thanks in advance

I can recommend an excellent eye surgeon. Don't know if he does Lasik or not but you could ask. His name is Choeng Jirawison, M.D. He graduated from U.C. San Francisco. He is well-published as a google search brings up 6 pages of his publications. Took very good care of me when I had an emergency from an accident late at night. No eye surgeon is available at Ram, Maharaj, Sriphat, McCormick or St. Peter (went to all of them) after 5-6:00 P.M. His clinic is on Chang Phueak; 253/1 Thannon Chang Phueak, 053-215224. Speaks very good English and is very nice and even called to see how I was doing the following day. Went back 3 times over 10 days for follow ups. Not cheap by any means but very good.

Edit: Maybe Tywais could add this Doctor to the pinned list. He and his partners are the only eye surgeons available after-hours in Chiang Mai we were told by a number of hospitals. I am not 100% sure but I believe his group all practice at Nakhornping Hospital which is the only hospital in C.M. with eye surgeons on-call late at night. Dr. Jirawison saw me at his clinic around 22:00 on Loy Krathong. Even St. Peters had a sign on the door saying no new admissions or walk-ins after 5:00 P.M. Door was locked and no lights on downstairs when we went there in the taxi.

Sorry, no first hand experience but my eye surgeon, who has a masters from John Hopkins and is a professor at Chiang Mai University recommended the lasik clinic in the grounds next to Sri Phat Hospital. I enquired for a friend.
