RawaiPlaBoyz Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Firstly, I'm not going to travel outside of Phuket. I want to do it here for ease etc. Any experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyoldman Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Not even to BKK? I think more specialists would be there and it would be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Dr Chaiyuth, Bangkok Hospital Phuket, is supposed to be the best orthopaedic guy around.(He was trained, and worked in major hospitals, in Bangkok) Edited August 16, 2014 by Old Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawaiPlaBoyz Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thanks, he is of note but is a spine DR. I need a hip done! Then after that a little more lead in my 67year of pencil (kamagra gel works great) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after that a little more lead in my 67year of pencil (kamagra gel works great)He specialises in spinal work, but does other things.He did some work on my toe as an example.I've had two hip replacements done, in Australia, piece of piss.

Old Croc Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) http://www.phukethospital.com/Treatments-Services/Total-Hip-Replacement.phpIf you are not leaving the Island and money is not the primary concern, I wouldn't go anywhere else.Looking at that link it seems Dr Chaiyuth doesn't do hips (sorry), but it lists several other, well credentialed, specialists.

grumpyoldman Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 OC, this doctor immediately recommended surgery for me to fuse bones in my upper back. "We'll go in through the front of your neck,take out the disc,fuse" I'm like, "slow down pal,I'm not a big surgery guy.........." fixed the problem myself through some strengthening. Doc has an itchy surgery finger..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc has an itchy surgery finger..... Sounds scary, I would have backed off too! He's supposed to be a "minimally invasive" expert. That seems anything but.
