The
nicest
ie
most
expensive
private
hospital
in
the
Cha
Am/Hua
Hin
area,
you're
likely
to
receive
professional
care,
service
and
adequate
treatment.
Be
warned
however,
you'll
be
milked
for
all
you're
worth.
The
medical
staff
are
good
but
from
experience
not
as
thorough,
helpful
or
engaged
as
those
in
the
capital
city,
at
Bangkok
Hospital
on
Soonvijai/Phetchburi
Road.
Be
sure
to
ask
what
medications
are
being
given
to
you
and
why;
reserve
the
right
to
purchase
them
yourself
if
available
OTC.
Chances
are
some
of
the
medicines
prescribed
aren't
necessary,
or,
you
can
get
them
way
cheaper
at
a
pharmacy.
If
you're
considering
getting
physicals
done
here
vs.
in
Bangkok:
don't
waste
your
money
and
time.
They
charge
like
their
health
checkup
package
is
on
par,
but
allocate
barely
enough
doctors
(the
Hua
Hin
location
is
always
very
busy).
You
essentially
wait
for
a
doctor
to
become
available
between
patients.
I
feel
for
the
nurses,
it
must
be
stressful
to
juggle
and
explain
no-shows.
Got
hooked
up
for
a
stress
test
and
sat
reading
for
over
40
minutes,
finally
asked
to
go
to
the
bathroom
upon
which
they
said
just
go
have
lunch,
an
emergency's
come
up
and
there's
only
one
cardiologist.
So
we
left
to
eat,
went
back
an
hour
later
to
get
the
stress
test.
Limited
facilities
and
ageing
equipment
--
the
inspection
label/service
contract
on
one
device
was
expired.
On
the
other
hand,
Bangkok
Hospital
in
Bangkok,
where
we
last
got
our
physicals
in
2022,
left
a
wonderful
impression.
The
process
took
3-4
hours,
at
the
end
of
which
we
were
walked
through
an
extensive
report
complete
with
graphs
and
illustrations.
The
doctor
gave
an
indepth,
holistic
evaluation
of
all
test
results
along
with
practical
diet
and
lifestyle
advice.
We
felt
thoroughly
evaluated,
cared
for,
and
"seen"
as
individuals
not
just
patients
on
an
assembly
line.
In
comparison,
at
the
end
of
our
checkups
in
Hua
Hin,
my
husband
and
I
felt
mildly
confused,
let
down,
and
unsure
about
the
doctor's
evaluation
and
recommendations.
Not
that
the
doctor
wasn't
professional
and
competent
--
she
was
quite
efficient
and
articulate
--
but
unless
we
asked
pointed
questions
or
offered
information
about
our
health,
there
seemed
to
be
minimal
effort
to
draw
connections
or
insights
beyond
reading
test
results
and
data.
There
seemed
to
be
a
lot
of
communication
mix-ups,
too,
which
makes
me
think
either
the
staff
are
overwhelmed
or
they
need
to
improve
their
systems
and
processes.
An
additional
note
on
the
Hua
Hin
outlet:
about
a
year
ago,
I
had
to
accompany
a
family
member
to
the
emergency
room.
He
was
quite
incapable
of
communication,
lying
on
a
gurney
awaiting
medical
attention.
Instead
of
talking
to
me,
and
the
staff
knew
we
had
arrived
together,
a
nurse
informed
my
relative
that
he
wouldn't
receive
care
till
he'd
made
a
deposit
of
20,000
baht.
He
had
to
tell
the
nurse
to
ask
me
for
the
deposit.
I
was
sitting
less
than
20
feet
away.
Seriously,
people.
That
was
not
cool.
I
understand
that
you
need
to
make
sure
people
pay
for
their
services
at
your
hospital,
but
you
need
to
get
your
service
protocols
right.
