About Asia Patient
The facts in one place: what AsiaPatient is, how it checks clinics and prices, and what it does not do, on the official information about AsiaPatient page.
When it's your health, you want the best of the best.
I've lived all over Asia as an expat, and I've traveled for medical tourism myself.
So I know how hard it is to find a good, qualified doctor who can help with your problem and actually cares about you. Doing it in another country is harder. Every clinic website says it's the best, and the friends you'd normally ask for a name are back home.
We want the best of the best as humans for our health problems. Sometimes that means traveling to a different place. It always means doing the research: who the doctor is, what their qualifications are, what patients say afterward, and what it costs. That's a lot of hours on top of the problem itself.
So I built AsiaPatient: to help you find the best option for your problem and your budget, and to help you connect with the best doctors possible.
What Asia Patient Actually Is
AsiaPatient covers hair transplants and cosmetic surgery in Thailand. The hair transplant pages go clinic by clinic in Bangkok and Phuket, with Chiang Mai in one guide and Thailand-wide pages on cost, booking, safety and travel. The cosmetic surgery pages cover treatments by area, a price list of what six hospitals and clinics print, and packages.
The pages carry the research I'd want before choosing a doctor: who the surgeon is, what patients report afterward, and what it costs, with where each number comes from.
The quote form is free and there's no obligation. For a hair transplant, you pick the clinics you want a quote from, or leave it empty and we suggest some. For cosmetic surgery, we answer you ourselves. Either way, your health details go to a clinic only if you tick the box.
Where to Start
If you're looking at a hair transplant and still working out what the procedure involves, read how the procedure works first, so you know what a clinic is quoting for. Then what a hair transplant costs in Thailand, which lists prices by clinic.
If you're already comparing clinics, six Bangkok clinics side by side is the page to open. If Turkey is also on your list, or someone has told you to go there instead, Thailand against Turkey covers cost and safety.
For cosmetic surgery, start with treatments by area to find the one you're looking at, then the price list of what six hospitals and clinics print, and what each package includes.
Once you've picked who you want to hear from, use the free quote form.
Why You Can Trust This
No paid placement
Clinics cannot pay to be listed or ranked higher on AsiaPatient.
Every price shows its source
Each price says where it came from: the clinic's, hospital's or agency's own page, what patients report paying, or what a clinic told us in writing.
Patient reports count
What patients write on Reddit, forums and RealSelf goes into the research.
Credentials you can check yourself
We check hair transplant surgeons against the ABHRS and ISHRS registers, and our cosmetic surgery guide shows you how to check a surgeon's license with the Medical Council of Thailand.
If you're reading clinic websites late at night and not sure which ones to believe, start with the pages on your treatment. When you're ready to talk to a clinic, send the quote form.
This site is made to do the research for you.
