Instead of waiting months like we do, or years in the states.... he asked if she was ready to have surgery Tomorrow.... she ended up having it the next monday...Great success and price

    Most of medical practitioners (md, surgeons, dentists, pharmacists etc.) are in the top 1% of the worker pyramid in Thailand. Lots of specialists graduated from North America or Europe so apart from some specific equipments, expertise and skills are at top notch (for private hospitals). The government has to subsidize the cost of medical care so it is accessible by its people so that's why it's very popular for the westerns. Our approach is a hybrid between US and EU, we have public healthcare system (lower QoS due to the number of patients) and private hospitals (better QoS and expensive for locals but considerably cheap for westerns).

In early 2019 I went back to Bumrungrad to have bone spurs removed from my right knee before too much cartilage wore out and all is still good. Also, I had LASIK surgery on both eyes in 2008 at Bumrungrad when I was 49 and I am now 64 and both eyes I still see perfectly.

    I went to Korea with an agency for medical treatments. When I compare the service and the care I received, I prefer Thailand. In Korea, it seems the doctor avoided talking to me. The nurse never come to check on me. I had to bang in the wall to call for attention because the device use to call a nurse that they gave to me after the surgery fell off and I couldn’t call a nurse to help me with the pain.

    I had a full dental restoration that included 2 abstractions, 3 root canals, 5 upper and 6 lower restorations, 5 crowns, and 5 - YES FIVE - implants, and saved at least $50 thousand dollars if done in the U.S.
    More importantly, the dentist was Western trained, spoke perfect English, had 3 assistants with me at all times, and the technology was state-of-the-art.
    It was a wonderful experience and I will NEVER pay NY prices and suffer their pitiful and indifferent care again.
    BTW, my implants were $685. each - earlier this year (2023). Not the $1950. listed in this video. So you can get even better deals too.

    Actually there are 66 JCI Accreditation hospitals in Thailand and all of them have great doctors and services (it depends on what you're looking for). Of course all of them are private hospitals, as I remember in 1992 Thailand have only 3 or 4 JCI accreditation hospitals and look how many they have now. I had positive experiences with these Thai hospitals myself and would recommend everyone to try. If you are looking for good doctor good service and value for your money.

    If you live in the US, please CHECK if your insurance will cover some of your health costs in Thailand.
    Case in point. In 2019 a dental crown would cost me $1200 in the state where I live. With my dental insurance, I would pay $857 there. I had my crown done at Bangkok's Thantakit Dental Clinic. With their 10% cash discount I paid $568.93. My dental insurance reimbursed me $332.16 for this 'out of network' service for the crown. My final cost was $236.77.
    This is not an isolated case.
    In 2015 I had a comprehensive physical exam done at Bangkok General Hospital costing $592.45 where I was diagnosed with pneumonia. A few months later after filing a claim, my Blue Cross affiliated plan reimbursed me $520.92. My final cost was $71.53.

      I wonder about that , in my perception, medical issue is something to check as soon as possible. In Thailand , we can walk in to any hospital and every one will see a doctor to check symptom first , any specific examination may be appointed after that if its not serious sickness and can be waited. At least, patients know that they are not in serious sickness and get some medicine to heal or take advice from doctor before coming again for next appointment if further examination or follow up is needed. Its better to call for making appointment in advance, Walk in will also see doctor but it may take long time for queue. Recently I just know that in some countries , seeing doctor is not easy and also expensive. Then I have realized that how hard- working Thai dictors do, especially in the governed hospitals in up country that full of poor people who have no money to get in a private hospital same as many in Bangkok . Appreciate those doctors.

    For UK residents, Thailand would only be chosen for cosmetic or dental work as all other health matters are free at point of delivery - there may be waits but for vital/urgent treatment these shouldn't be too great. Add to this the fact that should things go wrong all other services to deal with the problems are at hand and, of course, free.

    The Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis refused to negotiate their fees (all of them). As an "uninsured" I had to pay out-of-pocket on everything (cash, paid before anything was done). I had MOHS surgery and this cost over $90,000. I paid the bill, and this bankrupted me and my family. Now, I'm looking for spinal surgery and there is no place in the United States that is even remotely affordable. I still can't afford health insurance here either. The US has the worst healthcare in the world and it's the biggest scam operation I've ever seen.

She said that she could not get insurance in the US "because they talk with each other". She said that no one would sell her insurance - at all. So she left the states to go live/work in Germany. She wrote documentation for the software. At first, they would not give her a company car but she got one after she had been there for a while ( I think 2 years ).

    Frankly, when it comes to face lifting and cosmetic surgery their prices just don't warrant the risk and travel expense as the prices just aren't that great. Add up expensive airfare that ranges from $1700 to $2000 or more, and a high-quality hotel, in addition, good sanitary restaurants there are not cheap there. It would be wiser to get your work done in the US if you want a face, neck, or eyelift type of work done. Just don't look for a Doctor in Beverly Hills or New City and do your research for plastic surgeons in smaller cities. When you have serious surgery you are not jumping back on a 35 or more hour flight any time soon either.

    I guess you should go to Kevin-in -thailand. He didn't want a health care policy from one of the private companies offering it,because they don't cover pre-existing conditions and have caps on coverage. These companies are outlawed from selling these policies in the advance countries of the world.
    Kev started out with around $27,000US with chemotherapy and was told the next step would surgery to remove it. Around a other $35,000US. He did get money from a gofundme account and decided to get the surgery back in england.

    Ever Health is some kind of tour agent that makes it convenient for neo medical tourists to get treatment in Thailand at affordable costs. However, for decades there have been several leading private hospitals offering such services through words of mouth reputation and these hospitals are still doing roaring business right now as they have extensive contacts with several countries. Another option is to get treatment from leading teaching hospitals in Bangkok such as Siriraj, Chula and Rama. They do cater for international patients and all staffs speak English at their international division. All those experts in private hospitals all go through these 3 medical schools for their first medical degree before they study aboard to get specialist certificate, mostly in the US, UK and Japan. Of course, their teachers in Thailand's 3 leading teaching hospitals also got specialist certificates from US, UK, Japan before returning to continue their teaching/treating patients in these 3 leading hospitals.

When the coordinator gave me the price it took me a couple of seconds to swallow, $1600 for each implant and $1500 for each crown, $6,200!!! To makes matters worse my sister who works in medical billing for a huge medical group told me that's a great price because its half of what is being charged throughout New York. If I go to the dental facility Chris mentioned in another video, and get the Korean implants, I could get both implants for under $2,200, as well as a couple of other procedures, and still be able to cover hotel accommodations, food and round trip flights...

    I went to Mexico to get dental work done. I hadn’t been to a dentist in ten years and got two cleanings, 8 cavities filled, a root canal and teeth whitening done for 1,700.00$. The best part was the attitude of the dentist. After light hearted joking about what an idiot I was for not going to a dentist for ten years she took such great care of me and I didn’t feel judged at all. Also since a lot of pain killers are available in the pharmacy without prescription you can go and buy painkillers or whatever you want by the pill for after the procedure. Go see Dr. Francis if you are ever in Rosarito Mexico.
