Firstly, I'm not going to travel outside of Phuket. 

I want to do it here for ease etc. Any experiences?

Not even to BKK? I think more specialists would be there and it would be cheaper.

Dr Chaiyuth, Bangkok Hospital Phuket, is supposed to be the best orthopaedic guy around.

(He was trained, and worked in major hospitals, in Bangkok)

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)

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. (Australian colloquialism)

If 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.

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.....

Sounds scary, I would have backed off too!

 

He's supposed to be a "minimally invasive" expert.  That seems anything but.
