How to select the best doctors and hospitals in Thailand
Last year, over half a million people, from different parts
of the world, took the long flight to Thailand to not only enjoy a wonderful
vacation but to take advantage of the great bargains on cosmetic and dental
procedures and even elective surgery (including serious cardiac operations and
hip and knee replacements etc.

If you live in the United
States or Canada,
it is relatively easy to check on doctor qualifications and even find out the
top doctors and hospitals in a particular category of health care. Check out www.bestdoctors.com and www.mdnationwide.org
How is this database of top doctors compiled? By peer review
of doctors in the same field and by some sophisticated software and procedures
that checks the doctor’s:
Professional Affiliations
Education
Community involvement
Residencies
Board Certifications
Fellowships
Professional reputation
Hospital appointments
Medical schools
Malpractice judgments
Experience
Training
Publications and Academic appointments.
Contrast this sophisticated approach with the typical
minimal information available to prospective patients taking advantage of the lower
costs and excellent medical care provided by Countries such as Thailand and India.
For instance, most medical tourism companies, while often
providing an excellent service, seem to have spent a minimum amount of time
researching the best doctors and facilities in a particular category;
preferring instead to offer the services of a particular hospital or group of
hospitals for all procedures.
Thailand4Healthcare has taken a different
approach – one that ensures the very best outcome and value for service in the
PARTICULAR PROCEDURE IN WHICH YOU ARE INTERESTED.
For instance, while Bumrungrad
Hospital in Bangkok has a fine reputation for cosmetic
surgery, are you getting the top doctor in the field whether you need a tummy
tuck or a face lift? Similarly, we would have no hesitation in recommending Dr
Somchai, at the Bangkok
Hospital in Pattaya, for
SuperSight® surgery, but is BPH the very top hospital for Lasik procedures? And
where would you find the very best service for spinal surgery?
Here’s how it works
at Thailand4Healthcare
It’s a given that Thailand can provide the best
healthcare available anywhere in the world at a price that will pleasantly
surprise you. However, just as in North America,
you must do the research to make sure you select the top doctor’s and hospitals
for a particular medical procedure. And that is where our Company can help
because we have done the research for you and continually check and update our
database of fine doctors and medical facilities. Not only by peer review, but
also by recommendations and testimonials from patients.
So if you or someone you know is interested in cosmetic, elective
or dental surgery, or indeed, any medical or cosmetic procedure, in the
friendly Country of Thailand, just let us know the particular procedure and we
will provide you with our recommendation, including full details on the doctor
or doctors, the medical facilities, the procedure and the price.
Presently, because of the careful research involved, we
cover only the more popular procedures, but we would be happy to research any
procedure for you if it is not currently listed. Please submit the on line form
to take advantage of this free service:

Not only that but, if you would like to book your medical
appointment through Thailand4Healthcare, we will answer all of your questions
before you make your decision, offer suggestions for flights and hotels, meet
you at Bangkok International Airport and transport you to your hotel, and
generally look after you while in Thailand to make sure you enjoy the whole
experience. ALL AT NO ADDITIONAL COST OVER WHAT YOU WOULD PAY THE HOSPITAL IF
YOU WORKED DIRECTLY WITH THEM.
English in Thailand
You speak about the comparison between India and Thailand. My understanding is that English is much more commonly spoken in India than in Thailand.
How hard is it to find English-speaking doctors, nurses, and administrative people there?
