can you go over, in another post, all the surgery benefits to Thailand? I want to come with and get my teeth and gyno removed, gyno in just a prevention. my wife just tells me what she thinks are horror stories. In the US, Id be 10k just for gyno and probably that much for teeth. lol thanks
Point blank, medical and dental care in Bangkok is world class. Given the choice, 9/10 I'd choose to have a procedure done there, than the US. The only exception being a leading edge procedure that's only performed by a handful of highly specialized hospitals. The kind europeans travel to the US for.
I'll start with the obvious. Pick a top hospital, doctor, or dental clinic. In Thailand, prices for the kind of 5 star Mayo Clinic/Johns Hopkins grade facility will be lower than the sketchiest Florida plastic surgery clinics where the surgeon may, or may no longer have a license. I'm not joking when I say the hospital I use for regular care is closer to a Waldorf Astoria hotel than. the typical understaffed, surly, worn down US facility.
With staffing costs so low, the support staff levels are abundant and doctors are free to focus on the task at hand, unrushed, very often younger and clearly trained in the latest advancements. I'm VERY observant regarding medical care, and the equipment used is top notch, latest tech.
In Bangkok, you can afford the level of care reserved for the ultra wealthy in the US. That's how to approach this, "Horror stories" originate the same way they do in the US, someone choosing the absolute cheapest provider (ie Miami plastic surgery mill).
Thai medical professionals are almost all trained in the US.
Same with dental care. My girl had $5000 worth of work for $1200, in a clinic like a luxury spa. Same "invisible aligned" sold in the US, same brand, for 1/4 of the price.
You can literally fly to Thailand, spend 10 days having a nice time, have your dental work, and STILL spend less.
When I have a dental checkup and cleaning, the dentist is accompanied by 2 assistants, the procedure is thorough and unrushed, and everything including digital X-rays is around $50.
Finally, if you're from the US, and anything you need to have done is covered by your insurance, they WILL usually reimburse you after having it done there.
You can consult with docs prior to going there, and set everything uo before you step foot on. plane, Round trip economy to Bangkok from most of the US is around $900, a bargain for a 10,000 mile+ trip. Plan it right and can even stopover for a few days in Japan on the way there or back, typically for just another $100, if you wanted to visit.
Hit me up with any questions.
