One of the Best Orthopedic Hospitals in Bangkok

Vejthani Hospital has a long history of being the favorite destination for foreigners with orthopedic problems. Medical tourism is a new and growing phenomenon, but Vejthani has seen a steady stream of orthopedic patients from overseas for many years.

They travel to Thailand mostly because one of the best orthopedic hospitals is in Bangkok at Vejthani Hospital. The services are so advanced compared to orthopedic treatment services available in their own country that they’ve earned Vejthani a special nickname. Vejthani has long been known as one of the best orthopedic hospitals in Bangkok, but it’s now becoming known to many foreign orthopedic patients as the “King of Bones”.

Focus on Treating Orthopedic Specialties

Their growing reputation for excellence in orthopedics has been further underlined by its Clinical Care Program Certification accreditations for:

●      Lumbar Decompression and Fixation Program

●      Knee Replacement Program

●      Hip Replacement Program  

Vejthani has also set up four centers to treat specific and general areas of orthopedics.

Three of these centers generated as the orthopedic doctors saw a need for specialization in the areas of joint replacement, spinal issues, and physiotherapy and rehabilitation. The special attention these three areas of medicine received meant they soon earned their local and overseas reputation for the quality services they deliver.
