If you’re looking for a reliable orthopedic specialist, Dr. Pongtorn Sirithianchai at the Bone & Brain Center of Bangkok International Hospital stands out.

Dr. Pongtorn (fluent both in Thai and English) has expertise covering everything from fracture and dislocation care to minimally invasive surgeries (including MIPO), robotic-assisted, and 3D navigation-assisted procedures.  

He also handles complex cases like rib fracture surgeries, which means you’re in capable hands, whether you’re a weekend warrior or needing advanced treatment.

Patients consistently note Dr. Pongtorn’s attentive care and the transparency throughout the treatment process. Meanwhile, the hospital itself is internationally accredited and offers set packages for common procedures, so you always know what to expect before you begin. 

Along with Dr. Pongtorn’s expertise, the Bone & Brain Center is backed by a skilled team of physical therapists, rehab specialists, and nutritionists, giving you a comprehensive, coordinated care experience.

It’s also incredibly convenient to book an appointment with Dr. Pontorn—he’s among the doctors that you can instantly reserve through their website. 

However, due to his reputation and popularity, you might face longer wait times, even with the convenience of online booking.  

Attentive guidance and thoughtful assistance

“I came to use the services at Bangkok Hospital and was impressed with the service. Mr. Rapipat took me to various departments, followed up on the queue, and gave good advice.”

Warm, proactive nursing service

“Excellent service, very impressive. I came for a follow-up at the orthopedic department. I arrived before my appointment time. The nurse provided excellent service. She informed me that there were two queues ahead of me, but if the doctor arrived and queues 1 and 2 hadn’t arrived yet, I would let her see the doctor first. I later learned that the nurse’s name was Ms. Patchara. The other nurse also provided excellent service, periodically updating me that the doctor hadn’t arrived yet. Now the doctor is here, but he went up to visit the patient, and queues 1 and 2 have arrived. She took such good care of me that I felt embarrassed. So I asked her name. Her name is Ms. Chanrudee. The customer service department would like to commend and thank Ms. Patchara and Ms. Chanrudee for their excellent service.”

Dr. Tanawat Amphansap stands out as a leading orthopedic specialist at Vejthani Hospital’s renowned Orthopedics Center in the “King of Bones” building. He’s not just another name on the roster.

With board certification in orthopedic surgery and advanced fellowship training in metabolic bone disorders from Sheffield University in the UK, Dr. Tanawat brings deep expertise to the table. Osteoporosis, metabolic bone conditions, and geriatric orthopedics are on his menu, too.

His clinical interests and research are focused on improving outcomes for older adults facing bone loss and complex fractures—often introducing pioneering protocols, like the Fracture Liaison Service model he helped establish in Thailand.

Patients consistently praise Dr. Tanawat’s ability to explain complicated diagnoses with calm clarity, and he supports them through everything from bone density screenings and prevention to surgery and post-op recovery. 

Do know, though, that his expertise is in demand, and booking with Dr. Tanawat requires some planning—appointments can sometimes shift, so double-check your schedule.

World-class medical expertise and compassionate care

“”Vejthani Hospital” is one of the best hospitals I’ve ever visited. The doctors are highly professional and caring, and the medical facilities are world-class. I received excellent treatment and continuous support from the staff. I’m truly satisfied with my experience here.”

Expert rehabilitation and attentive post-surgery care

“After my surgery, I started therapy at Vejthani Hospital’s modern rehabilitation center. The therapists are well-trained and supportive. My hand has improved a lot, and I’m feeling stronger every day. The hospital provides excellent after-surgery care.”

We’re always on the lookout for standout orthopedic care, and Prof. Dr. Keerati Charoencholvanich at KDMS definitely caught our attention. 

If knee or his issues are cramping your style (from sports injuries to those annoying age-related aches), he’s the guy you want in your career. 

What we really liked is that Dr. Keerati isn’t just talking up new tech—he actually uses the MAKO robotic system in his hip and knee replacements, which means more precise surgery and, hopefully, a smoother recovery for you.

His credentials are solid, too. Years of specialized training here and abroad (plus some impressive fellowships), so he’s not just following trends—he’s setting them. We also commend him for being great at explaining what’s going on—a lot of his previous clients highlighted this. 

But it’s not all sunshine—when we visited, the staff scheduled us early, and then we waited around for the doctor to arrive. Apparently, that’s not an uncommon hiccup, so if you’re tight on time, double-check your slot before heading over. 

Compassionate expertise and seamless patient experience

“We were pleased to see how quick and helpful the KDMS staff were to help us get an appointment with a doctor for an Achilles tendon surgery.  It didn’t take long for us to trust and have confidence in Dr. Sittha. He is knowledgable, has good energy and presence, compassionate and was able to answer all our questions. The staff, nurses, and customer support were also  kind and glad to help.  The hospital environment feels very spacious, new, clean and peaceful. We have so much gratitude towards KDMS. Thank you.”

Attentive specialist care with modern facilities

“A specialized hospital for Orthopedic.  I am the out patient here for my numbness hands.  The doctor is clearly an expert and he recommends me a certain treatment which make all sense (non money maker). The facilities are super new, clean and well organized.  The staff is very attentive and taking care of me well.  The process takes me 30min from the drop off to the payment of medicine.  Price could be high, though it’s the same rate as other private hospitals in Bangkok.  Various insurance policies are accepted here.”

Dr. Vorathep Wangtrakunchai (widely referred to as “Dr. Thep”) runs the show here, and he’s not just any bone doctor—he completed advanced training at UCLA on top of his Chiang Mai medical background, which is impressive!

We spoke with a handful of regulars, and everyone seems to agree that he’s upfront, thorough, and never the type to just rush through appointments.

Specialization here is pretty broad—Dr. Thep tackles everything from worn-out knees to frozen shoulders, herniated discs, trigger finger, and your standard “office syndrome”.

His use of new techniques—like PRP and minimally invasive procedures—and his “treat you right, no over-treatment” philosophy win serious trust.

We also like that this clinic is set up to accommodate health and accident insurance, which is a game-changer, especially for expats.

The only caveat is that appointment slots are limited since Dr. Thep is the sole orthopedic specialist, and with the clinic’s limited hours, you’ll want to book ahead.

Accurate diagnosis and trustworthy care

“My husband was suffering pain at knee joint and wrist, Dr.Thep diagnosed them accurately. We decided to accept treatment immediately at that time. This is the second time we trust Dr.Thep and pain released. Don’t hesitate to make appointment with this clinic. 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻”

Quick, efficient service at a fair price

“I recently visited this orthopedic office for an elbow bursitis issue. After a very short wait time, I saw the doctor and then he proceeded aspiration (extraction) of the bursitis fluid. Quick and efficient. The Dr. speaks English as well. Very reasonable price and highly recommend. I will return if any other orthopedic issues arise.”

If you’re after orthopedic care with a hands-on, tech-forward approach, Chanakarn Orthopedic Clinic truly stands out. Dr. Chanakarn Phornphutkul leads the clinic with a blend of international training and practical expertise.

The setup here is modern, with digital X-rays and a dedicated physiotherapy section, so you’re not shuffled around between places just for diagnostics or rehab.

One thing we like is Dr. Chanakarn’s commitment to starting with conservative, non-surgical options—think medication, joint injections (including PRP and synovial fluid), and other less-invasive procedures.

For those who need it, the arthroscopic surgeries are efficient and recovery-oriented, which is a big plus if you want to be up and about sooner. He also has notable experience with trauma cases, like fractures and dislocations. 

That said, if English is your language, Dr. Chanakarn’s staff’s basic communication is fine, but complex questions might be a little tough—feedback on this is consistent. Also, don’t expect to secure a slot over the phone, since all appointments are strictly in person. 

Top-tier expertise and approachable care

“Dr Chanakarn is a “rock star orthopedic surgeon.” He’s knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and knows exactly what he is doing.  I had a great experience with him. His recommendations and skills are top notch. Thanks Doc. 👍🏽 …”

Skilled team and efficient service

“The doctors are experienced, provide sharp diagnoses, and are compassionate and provide clear explanations.

The queues are relatively fast, and the staff is excellent at managing time and taking care of patients.

The fees are more affordable than other clinics.

The interior is spacious and comfortable.

There is a parking lot outside, making it convenient for wheelchair users.

This is my favorite orthopedic clinic.”
