Feedback and successful stories:

• Dimitry Ivanov: When my wife and I came to Bangkok, we didn’t know where to go. We went to many different hospitals, including some very expensive places and some not so expensive. Finally, we determined that Samitivej was the best choice for us.”
• Vincent Xavier Lalanne: “I had a talk with Dr. Paiboon when I came here, and he explained the situation to me. Before the surgery, I was skeptical because we have one life and it’s difficult to let your body in anyone else’s hands. And now I can say I made the best choice I could. I don’t think it would have been any better if I had gone back to my country for the operation.”
