Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Phuket if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Yes, there are a good number of medical specialists in Phuket. People in Phuket can access a wide range of medical specialists, including general practitioners, dentists, optometrists, and specialists in fields such as cardiology, neurology, and oncology. For highly specialized medical care, people in Phuket typically go to Bangkok, which is home to some of the best hospitals and medical centers in the country.
