GF has a growth on the cornea that will soon impinge on the pupil, so needs operation for it to be cut away, Looking for any recommendation for eye surgery in Bangkok.

Rutnin would be the obvious first place to check out, but any recommendations? More interested in competence than cost and not assuming most cost is necessarily most competent.

IMO Rutnin is a good choice, TRSC is much more fancy and maybe worth while to check out. I had a complicated Vitrectomy ( removal of retina membrane at Rutnin simply because I was told Dr Roy is the only surgeon who can perform such operation in Bangok. All went well. Downside of Rutnin is a very complicated administration and the hospital looks old compared to the futuristic TRSC. For a cornea treatment I guess both hospitals can help your GF and in such case I would prefer TRSC because of the wonderful service.

TRSC specializes on refractive surgery, not applicable in this case.

I assume by growth on cornea Op means a pterygium.

I suggest Prof. Chaiwat Teekhasaenee at Rutnin http://www.rutnin.com/eng/ophthalmologist_detail.php?id=12

He is on faculty at Ramatibhodhi and can also probably be seen at the Ramatibhodi after hours clinic http://med.mahidol.ac.th/qsmc/th/service/premium_clinic-th

2nd on that! I've been seeing Dr Chaiwat at Rutnin now for 25 years, cataracts and glaucoma operations, quite pleased with his skills and services.

I second Dr. Roy Chumdermpadetsuk; he just completed cataract removals on both my eyes and did a great job.

Very patient, explained everything in detail ahead of time, and answered all my questions. Speaks excellent English, having been educated in the US.
