Swiss1960 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Finally convinced wife to consult with an orthopedic doc after years of spray, gel and occasional cortisone injections into her knee to fight the pain... so can you please point me into the right direction of a knee specialist in Pattaya or any place around (up to and including Bangkok, if necessary) Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Best knee doctor in Thailand is in Bangkok https://www.bumrungrad.com/doctors/Panya-Wongpatimachai repeated cortisone injections weaken the joint. She should ask whether HA injections (Synvisc) would be appropriate for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino28 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I am also looking at an orthopedic knee doctor, but prefer to go in Pattaya. Any advice ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you You will not get the same level of expertise in Pattaya that you can in Bangkok . If being treated in Pattaya is your top priority and cost is not a big factor then try one of these two doctors at BPH: Dr. Sukree Khumrak Dr. Nammon Yaikwavong I don't have any feedback on either, just basing this on qualifications.

I checked on Synvisc earlier this year and the price difference between Bumrungrad and BCH is dramatic. Bumrungrad quoted me B33,000 per knee exclusive of other costs. a doctor at BCH quoted about B20,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 No. Best shoulder doc is Dr. Mason at Bumrungrad.Sent from my SM-J701F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg1953 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I think that one of the advantages of living in Pattaya is that good medical and dental care is only 2 hours away, and inexpensive to get there. Same is true for people living in Hua Hin. So take Sheryl’s advice and you will be happy you did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
