Would appreciate any members sharing info or counsel on Pattaya area hospitals. I have a skin lesion (scalp) that needs checking--not cosmetic, could be something more.
Do any of the hospitals have dermatology departments that are attuned to fair-skinned farangs? Cost is also a consideration. Anyone with experience?

Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital; Dr Anna Jaruwarn has an excellent reputation. Friends swear by her. Go to the hospital website and you can see her schedule and arrange an appointment.Originally Posted by litefoot2
Go to Pattaya Memorial. There is a dermatologist there every morning Tuesday through Friday from 0900-1200. I saw her yesterday and was very impressed and the price was very reasonable. Her name is Dr. Jankamol Pattarangsee.
Dermatology is one thing, but farangs who have medical concerns are often put in the position , which hospital do I choose to go to, that will have someone who can speak English and can take care of me. The question has wider parameters than just dermatology, thought skin conditions of us fair skinned varieties and blue eyes to boot, has more than just a passing fancy for many of us. Many of us travel with good insurance a we can pay the bill, whatever it is, but still are faced with the decision of which hospital to choose. I echo the call for suggestions on which hospital would you choose to go to if needed to go to a hospital right now.
I and most of my friends see Dr. Anna at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. I have seen her on several occasions for skin cancer screening, rash, and removal of a cyst.
She has spent some time in USA and speaks excellent English and, IMO very competent.
