If you are a medical tourist looking for a luxury hospital, world class medical care and US trained physicians- this is the place to go. You will not regret it. They have tons of experience and you will get better care here than in the USA for 1/8 of the price.
I flew from the US to get a cuadruple bypass of my heart here after having a heart attack. I could not afford the surgery at home and had no insurance. The surgery was $12000 here and in the US over $100,000- my doctor had practiced in the US for more than 10 years and was american board certified. This place is amazing- all my nurses were RNs not nursing aids. They are just fantastic and get more than 200,000 thousand patients from all over the world every year! I was home and symptom free 2 weeks after the surgery. I am so happy I found this hospital, at home I guess I would have died.
I flew here from UAE after being diagnosed with a silent heart attack at home. The international offices were very professional and helpful. I ended up having a cardiac bypass- with excellent results. Many of my physicians were trained in the US ( board certified) or in Europe. My family was able to visit me quite a it even in the ICU. The quality of care was excellent- I still think they need to improve their cardiac rehab a little though- but that is only a minor suggestion considering the big picture.
It was interesting for me to see so many middle eatern people and foreigners compared to Thai people. It is clear that this hospital is popular in the arab world. I was happy with my treatment overall.
Overall I was very impressed with the level of medical service that I received. This was my second trip and I was surprised at how the patient mix had changed from western to middle eastern. I hope this doesnt mean prices will go up!
My wife gave birth by C section and paid $850 including the delivery! Overall we were very satisfied with the levelñ of care.
If you need to get to this hospital fast, catching a cab can be better than waiting for an ambulance in the Bangkok traffic! Bumrungrad is located in between Soi's 1 and 3 on Sukhumvit Road, in the heart of Bangkok. The hospital complex includes outpatient and inpatient centers, a long term stay facility, an emergency/trauma center and a fitness and nutrion center. I had a relatively minor medical issue but was treated well.
I went to Bumrungrad as a medical tourist for an elective surgery. The HR staff, medical personnel and techs made me feel very comfortable although I was half way across the world from my family and loved ones. The procedure did not have any complications and I returned home safely. The whole thing cost me about one tenth of the amount of money it would have cost here in the US ( Boston).
