Does anyone suggest a good orthopedic doctor around to get a consultation from?

Back in July, I was hit by 3 young girls on a motorbike while crossing the street and suffered a torn ankle ligament. After having my leg in a cast for 6 weeks, I was seeing Ajarn Sinchai for massage therapy. Although he is very good, I haven't been in about 4 months as his price is pretty expensive (for a low-salaried teacher in Chiang Mai). It seemed my ankle was ok, but I've been having some serious (worrying) pain this last week.

You can try Sudhee Sudana. He is a retired professor, pretty good English. His clinic is located at the North-West end of the superhighway

The last time I visited him was more than 12 months ago. I got treatment for my knees. A physiotherapy is integrated in the clinic.

At this time his clinic was open on MO, TU, FR 17:00-19:00 and SA 9:30-12:00.

His telephone: 053 214139 or 0899538071

He only charged me 200 baht for a consultation. If you have x rays take them. He sent me over to the Rajavej Hospital for x rays I believe it was 300 baht apiece. I walked to the hospital and back the whole process only took about one hour if that.

I saw him a few years ago and he gave me the truth. He then explained why the operation to help me would be so difficult. He was very informative.

Also a good recommendation for him from me.

Thanks for the recommendations! Do you know how much Sudhee Sudana charges?

I will agree with the others on Sudhee after he carried out 2 spine operations allowing me to walk and work again. It took him 5 minutes to spot the problem on Scans and X-rays that I had been carrying around for 4 months trying to find answers. The last time I went to his clinic his consultation fee was 500B. If I remember correctly, he opens 3 evenings a week from around 1700 and Sunday mornings. Get there early or take a book, he gets busy!

Depends, whether he asks for xrays etc. A few hundred baht I guess, not expensive for his expertise.
