After
some
experiences
visiting
doctors
in
the
US,
UK,
EU,
Switzerland
and
Asia,
personally,
I’d
say
Doctors
in
Sriphat
are
PHENOMENAL!
They
are
researchers
or
faculty/professors
of
the
university.
Most
of
them
have
been
sent
by
Thai
Government
abroad
to
renowned
universities
or
research
hospitals
for
advanced
exchange/training.
A
lot
of
them
also
have
a
private
practice
and
work
with
the
private
Ram
or
Bangkok
hospital.
Bear
in
mind
sometimes
you
might
want
to
hear
a
second/third
opinion
in
any
case,
as
specialists
might
be
more
focused
in
certain
diagnosis.
Waiting
time:
Guys,
be
reasonable,
probably
like
in
your
country,
local
people
do
work
in
the
weekdays.
So
weekend’s
visit
is
best
to
be
avoided.
Use
your
common
sense,
Any
Walk-in
and
Internal
medicine
generally
has
a
longer
waiting
time.
Other
than
that,
waiting
time
is
usually
very
reasonable
in
non
urgent
appointments:
0
mins
to
1
hour
in
normal
circumstances.
Price
of
Medication:
For
those
who
complained,
the
hospitals
will
definitely
not
oppose
if
you
buy
your
own
medication
in
local
pharmacies.
If
you
think
that
you
are
paying
a
higher
price,
go
elsewhere
to
get
your
medication
with
the
doctor’s
prescription.
Any
medication
that
is
expensive
abroad
might
also
be
the
same
price
here.
The
same
medication
will
not
be
cheaper
just
because
you
are
in
Thailand.
Lab
test/Procedures
Fee:
Indeed,
they
could
be
expensive
in
Thai
standard.
But
not
at
all
as
compared
to
international
standard.
For
those
used
to
having
a
“close
to
FREE”
medical
care
(NHS/EU),
perhaps
this
might
partially
explain
the
high
taxation.
On
another
note,
the
physicians
here
are
really
trying
hard
not
to
run
any
unnecessary
scans
or
tests
unless
they
are
really
without
harm
or
reasonably
priced.
Facilities
and
services
(simply
getting
to
the
right
place
with
the
right
specialists):
there
is
the
heaven
but
hell
exists
too.
One
must
know
that
there
are
several
organizations/buildings
associated
with
Sriphat.
One
could
differ
tremendously
from
another.
*DISCLAIMER:
The
buildings/sub-organization
simply
separate
the
department/functions,
it
has
utterly
nothing
to
do
with
the
quality
of
the
physicians.
Some
physicians
work
in
several
buildings.
1.
The
brand
new
OPD
Sriphat
(the
greenish
new
building)
is
like
heaven,
with
angel
like
English
speaking
nurses
and
receptionists.
The
facilities
are
like
airport
lounges
with
smart
features.
Machines
are
TOP
NOTCH.
I
think
I
saw
some
AI
assistant
robots
in
testing
phase..
Basic
fees
for
seeing
a
specialist
is
usually
300thb
plus
hospital
fee
of
300thb.
2.
The
Old
Sriphat
(Suandok)
Hospital
(the
one
with
the
temple
right
outside),
it
is
kinda
like
hell,
a
convoluted
chaotic
building
intertwined
with
another
relatively
taller
building.
Nurses
and
staff
seems
overworked.
The
prices
are
fairly
reflected
in
this
regard
though,
100thb
for
seeing
a
specialist.
No
extra
charges.
3.
Then,
there
is
the
middle
ground,
called
the
Excellence
building,
Sriphat
intertwined
with
another
organization.
Around
300Thb
for
a
specialist’s
visit.
There
are
other
buildings
like
the
emergency
hospitals
or
imaging
centers
or
infection
clinics
which
I
have
not
been
to.
Last
Tips:
Don’t
panic
if
you
went
to
a
wrong
building,
the
really
helpful
security
guards
could
get
you
into
the
shuttle
bus
that
goes
to
another
building.
