seesip Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Dr. Atikun Limsukon. He's at Sripat and Bangkok Hospital, and also has a clinic in the evenings. Highly recommended for expertise, friendly manner, and excellent English. Edit: you can Google him for his clinic info or call either hospital for an appointment.

NancyL Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 No question about it -- Dr. Atikun is highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) You'll find my 'road trip' report and recommendation of him here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/511966-chiang-mai-doctors-and-medical-specialists/page-6 Post #142 Actually I don't have COPD as stated in that post, but I have had a lung lymphoma which was put back in its box by radiotherapy last October. But I do still get some recurring lung infections. 3 years of misdiagnosis (in the first year), correct diagnosis and treatments means that I have consulted pulmonologists in Bangkok, Ubon, Chiang Mai, Leeds (UK) and Cambridge UK. Dr Atikun plus my current specialists at Papworth and Adenbrookes hospitals in Cambridge have been head and shoulders above the rest. [Posted from my bed at Papworth Hospital - sounds dramatic - actually its a bit of a doss/boondoggle - 2 weeks of intensive IV antibiotic therapy with regular monitoring in an attempt to break the infections cycle. Still hashing - I 'aint dead by a long way yet!] Edited June 18, 2015 by SantiSuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Chiangmai Ram has good Pulmonary Surgeons if you are in Chiang Mai. I had to see them last month and the doctor I saw spoke perfect English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
