Hospitals: Chiang Mai vs. Bangkok?

[seesip]

Wondering how the local hospitals rate compared to the bigger ones in Bangkok. I usually go to Ram but when in Bangkok I stay near Bumrungrad and it looks impressive.

Best is not to compare hospitals, but doctors. Ir is the doctor who makes the real difference in treatment. Hospital A might have the best eye doctor, while hopsital B might have the best heart surgeon.

You can find some of the best doctors in their field in a government hospital, often besides their practise in a private hopsital or their own private practise.

What's the best way to compare local doctors? I'm looking specifically at pulmonary specialists.

Best way is to ask around who a good specialist are in that area of expertise.

I will move this to the health forum, as Sheryl might know the answer to this question.

I googled Dr. Limsukan and got this......so I don't know.

He certainly trained in Chiang Mai University (2001) and IS a Pulmonologist, but seems to have his office in LA.

Maybe someone could clarify?

I've heard there is a private clinic that's part of Suandok, is this Sripat?

Check with Sripat, he may have returned to Thailand since then

It's quite possible. Maybe the OP could check if interested and let us know?
