TESTIMONIALS
WHAT PATIENTS SAY
———————-
From the very start, we were welcomed by the hospital staff very warmly. The service is impeccable. The surgery itself went well, and I am satisfied with the results.
I originally made contact through Christopher with the International Section of Yanhee Hospital. Christopher then made the task of finding the doctor best for me very easy. I originally heard of Dr. Somsak through Kelly Aitken, Surgery For Me from Sydney.
The translators, nursing staff, accounting staff, theater staff, and doctors have all been delightful to deal with. I have felt safe and cared for since arriving.
I will be highly recommending Yanhee to all who ask for guidance on the wellness journey. The highest rating I can give is 5 stars. Thank you.
All staff and nurses are very caring, attentive, and helpful throughout my time here in Yanhee Hospital. Even my coordinator was quick to respond to all my concerns and questions. Dr. Somsak is very experienced; has shown great knowledge and done excellent job on my liposuction. During my stay in the hospital, the nurses and other healthcare staff have treated me with respect, patience, and great care. The facility of Yanhee was great, too. I felt like I was in a hotel with a private room and great view of Bangkok City from my window. Overall, everything has exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to my friends and family.
From day one, everything has felt very professional and well organized. I felt supported the whole way through. I was quite nervous before the surgery, but the staff were so kind and reassuring, and they took the time to explain everything clearly. That really helped me relax and feel comfortable. The facilities are excellent—honestly, better than anything I have experienced back home in New Zealand. Everything has been clean, comfortable, and very well run. Dr. Somsak has done an amazing job. I’m really happy with the results so far and already feel more comfortable. It also meant a lot that my husband could stay with me. Having him there made a big difference, and the staff were welcoming to him as well. Overall, it has been a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend this hospital and surgeon to anyone considering these procedures.
From the moment of my arrival to departure, the doctor and his extended team could not have cared and explained any better what was a very nervous time for me as all my flights were either cancelled or delayed and I had very little sleep heading up to my surgery which made my blood pressure sky rocket and was well over the limit of potassium from consuming too much electrolytes. Big faux pas on my behalf. The staff took their time to rectify this, which meant my 8-hour surgery was very delayed. Healthy, well, and I love my new youthful look. This is the place to be. All your body remodeling needs A++. Thank you to all.
Sorry, I forgot to mention the food is Wow!
Amazing services. I was well looked after. Staff are very kind and efficient. Dr. Somsak was very kind and patient as I had many questions, and I didn’t speak the Thai language.
The International Department Liaison Team was very informative and provided me with all the information needed for post op care. The food was very tasty, the room is very modern, clean, and comfortable.
I would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the doctors and nurses for their exceptional dedication, compassion, and professionalism throughout my time in Yanhee Hospital.
The nurses, with their kindness and attentive care played an equally vital role. Their constant presence, gentle reassurance, and willingness to go above and beyond made an immense difference each day. Whether it was administering medications, checking vitals, or simply offering a comforting word, they carried out every task with warmth and professionalism. Their compassion and human touch reminded us that healing is not just about medicine but also about empathy and understanding.
Yanhee Hospital is 5 star.
The hospital staff are caring & compassionate. I had everything explained to me step by step. Doctors give patients the time and understanding you need to feel comfortable about the procedure you’re choosing. The hospital rooms are absolutely beautiful, complete with a kitchen and private bathroom. Unlike Australia, if you ring your bed buzzer, nurses are there within a minute. Australia needs to learn what true patient care is all about and study in Thailand.
Yanhee Hospital in Bangkok has positive reviews as a Medical Tourism destination, especially in the areas of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The hospital services are great and the nurses and translators are very wonderful, especially the translator Najmi.
My experience with the plastic surgery department (9C) wing, was very excellent. Best regards and wishes for much progress.
Outstanding care and top-notch facilities; they truly prioritize your comfort and well-being at all times. The meals are of excellent quality, served three times a day, and the nurses are exceptionally kind attentive. Overall, a wonderful experience.
My experience at the hospital was excellent. Everything felt comfortable and well-organized, almost like staying in the hotel. The rooms were clean, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would give the service 100%. It would even be better if the hospital could add more medical specialties for patients’ needs.
I appreciate Dr. Somsak for his skillfulness in Plastic Surgery, but even for his character and personality.
I appreciate also the recovery (post-op) personnel for their help.
The care I have received at this hospital has been incredible, nurses are constantly coming in to check if I am comfortable & healthy, meals have been great & the room is clean & private.
Thank you for a great experience.
From the moment we walked into the hospital, the staff, nurses, and Dr. Somsak were professional and attentive to our individual needs.
From seeing Dr. Somsak at my first consultation, the whole process was quick and very efficient. A big thank you to the nurses after my surgery. I was feeling anxious and they made me feel at ease. I will highly recommend this hospital to my friends and family.
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Somsak, and I’m really satisfied with Yanhee Hospital’s service. Suhree is the best interpreter and helps me through all the process. I have been taken care of by the nurse and all of the staff nicely. The hospital is really hygienic, modern, and very well-equipped. The food here is also very delicious. I only stayed here for a day after the surgery, and the wound is not as painful as I expected. Excellent services and everything. I will recommend this hospital to my other friends who will do the surgery. Perhaps if possible, Yanhee Hospital also provides/include salon (for hair wash) before discharge from the hospital. Thanks Yanhee.
Thank you for an amazing experience. The doctors, all nurses, and all staff are totally professional. I have been well looked after, and I like the result. Excellent!
I can fully recommend coming to Yanhee Hospital. A superior service – can’t speak highly enough of the care and facilities. Language is no barrier. Thank you! The price was very good! The room is like a 5-star hotel! Excellent.
All good. Very professional and considerate hospital. I would recommend it to my friends.
The food in the hospital is excellent, never had diarrhea. The nurse is very kind and soft spoken. The hospital staff is one of the best in the world. Highly recommended to come to this hospital. My only issue is the sleeping pill given at night. Then they take my blood pressure after 2 hours which interrupts my sleep.
I rate the hospital, doctor, and nurses all in this hospital 10/10.
The preparation, doctor’s instructions, anesthesia, service, and food were all good. Thank you so much.
It was good experience. The nursing service and care were the best.
Everything is good here, from the service to the consultation. The room is also clean and the food is good. Especially the staff from the International Department, Mr. Suree helped me a lot from the first until finished the operation. Glad to choose Yanhee for my surgery.
The doctor is also nice and kind to consult anything that I didn’t understand. The doctor from the International Department is also good. Came and explained many things that I have to avoid, what can eat and cannot eat. Zero complaint.
My experience at Yanhee was wonderful. The communication before coming to Bangkok was prompt and informative. My surgeon, Dr. Somsak, has done a clean surgery where I can see that my incisions will heal well. My breasts and tummy look amazing, and I am so happy. I don’t feel any pain in my breasts and very minimal discomfort in my tummy 5 days post-op. The nursing, cleaning, and kitchen staff are the best. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they are so kind and attentive. I will recommend Yanhee and Dr. Somsak to anyone and everyone I know who wants plastic/cosmetic procedures. Thank you.
From the first day I stepped on Yanhee Hospital the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming.
I had breast reduction with Dr. Somsak and I am very happy with the results so far; beyond my expectations. I spent 2 nights in the hospital after the procedure and the nurses’ care was excellent. They kept me very comfortable and were very responsive to my requests.
In general, it was a very pleasant experience. I would definitely go back to this hospital and I would recommend it a 100 percent. Thank you very much.
I am quite happy to be here for my breast operation because all the doctors and nurses are very kind and patient. The medical instrument is great.
Thank you Yanhee Hospital and all the employees.
I recently had the pleasure of being treated at Yanhee International Hospital, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care I received. The service provided was outstanding, with every staff member, from the nurses to doctors, showing incredible kindness and professionalism. They attended to my needs 24 hours a day, ensuring I was comfortable and well taken care of at all times. Their dedication and caring nature truly made a difference in my recovery. Yanhee International Hospital is without a doubt, the best hospital I have ever been to. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of medical care.
Brilliant pre-organization and instructions. Brilliant meet and greet and consultation with Doctor. Pre-op investigations were very professional. Explanations for pre- and post-op are professional and comprehensive. All hospital staff are courteous, friendly, and happy. Hospital procedures eg dressings kept clean and professionally performed. The hospital is very clean, and the rooms are clean and comfortable.
Thank you to all the staff, international coordinator, interpreter, and nursing staff; and last but most important, Dr. Somsak.
I would highly recommend Yanhee Hospital. The whole experience has been amazing starting with the email liaising with Miss Kay. She was always prompt in email replies, and always made me feel that any small question was valued and important. Finally, surgery day, meeting Dr. Somsak. He offered great opinions and advice which I appreciate and value. The aftercare has been amazing. The nurses are incredibly attentive, kind, and gentle. The visit from the International Team each day to check on my progress and just to have a chat has been lovely. Due to all of the above, my recovery has gone extremely well and I am proud to say that I am a former patient of Yanhee Hospital. Please encourage any patient to bring a support person as I know it has helped me immensely. A huge thank you. I will send photos in 12 weeks to show progress.
Six days post-op in my hospital room with a beautiful view of the Chao Phraya River. I had a tummy tuck, MR, and facelift with Dr. Somsak. I was very determined and self-assured sitting at home about my procedures. But once here, I was nervous and anxious. I contemplated backing out. I’m glad I didn’t because the whole process was smooth and easy from consult where I was assigned an English translator. I got to choose my surgery date and my package came with 6 days hospital stay with round-the-clock nursing care, meals, and medication. There was even a couch bed with blankets and pillows if I wanted my friend to stay the night and keep me company. The Doctor, nurses, and interpreter came by every day to check my progress, give updates, and a chance for me to ask questions. The International Liaison team Jo Ann, Kirsten, and Kryzl came by every day to check on my needs, answer questions, and chat. I wish I could remember the names of all the nurses, tech, and staff so I could thank them. They seemed like they really cared for my comfort and well-being. Nurse Tipiwan and Dinah did give me badly needed assurance at the height of my anxiety as I was being prepped for surgery. In a couple of hours, I’m told I will have a visit from the doctor, receive more post-op care instructions, medications, and follow-up visit dates. Overall for 6 days post-op, I feel very good. I can walk around pretty comfortably and I can see my swelling going down every day. I’m glad I decided to do this for myself, and I’m glad I chose Yanhee.
I am very happy with the service at this hospital because I think the doctor here is very friendly and very detailed in explaining everything. The nurses here also they are so friendly and beautiful.
The entire staff of Yanhee Hospital has been warm and welcoming, doing everything possible to make my stay here comfortable.
They exceeded my expectations and were on par with any hospital that I’ve visited in the United States.
I would like to thank the entire team for making everything about this a smooth experience.
This is my second time to visit at Yanhee Hospital. The first time, I had my breast augmentation procedure and I’m very happy with the result. I didn’t feel any bad complications at all for over 13 years. I came back for a second mammoplasty procedure and everything went well as I expected. All the staff from admission, registration, nurses, and doctors are very friendly, and attentive to all my needs at any time. Everyone here is professional doing their job. I will highly recommend this hospital to everyone I know who wants any procedure. Thanks to all.
My experience at Yanhee Hospital has been very good. The nurses have been helpful, caring, and responsive. The International Staff have been excellent ensuring I am aware and understanding all that is going on with my procedure. This includes the time I check in to the hospital and check out.
Improvements would be to have a list of what a patient can and cannot do after surgery. Thank you for all your help and care during my stay at Yanhee.
I must say the doctor and the nurses are very caring, very good. Highly professional. I will recommend this hospital to anyone who wants to come to Thailand for cosmetic surgery.
I would like to thank Doctor Somsak and the nurses for the good job.
All medical personnel have been amazing. I feel I have been extremely well cared for. Each of the next steps has been very well explained.
Even as fainting episodes were happening during the removal of stitches, the staff were amazing. Looking forward to seeing the results in several weeks following healing.
I am very happy with the results of breast augmentation, full facelift, and more. This was my first ever surgery. The staff spoke good English. The Doctor was very thorough and professional. The staff were very helpful and attended to my every call quickly at all hours, day and night.
The food was excellent for a hospital. The bed was too hard, however. Staff put extra cushions on for me. Thank you all for taking such good care of me.
I have nothing but praise for the whole experience. It was very easy even though we did not go through any agency. We dealt directly with the hospital. The nurses, cleanliness, and food—efficient, yet still attentive and caring.
I will definitely be recommending Dr. Somsak and all the beautiful people at Yanhee Hospital.
See you all again soon!
My experience at Yanhee Hospital throughout my whole surgery process was nothing but positive. I dealt directly with the hospital and was surprised with the easy communication, and the speedy responses to my inquiries. On arriving at Yanhee, it was immediately apparent this hospital was efficient, organized, modern, and extremely clean. The pre-testing actually made me feel confident; obviously, the safety of myself and those around me was of the utmost importance. The greatest positive aspect of my whole journey was the staff, from registration to departure but particularly my daily care nurses were kind, caring, beautiful, and professional. My International Liaison Officers Jo Ann and Kirsten were helpful, gracious, and caring, nothing was too hard. I will certainly recommend Yanhee, Dr. Somsak, and the staff to anyone looking at surgery in the future.
Yanhee is very good. Dr. Somsak is a really good doctor. I had 2 operations here with Dr. Somsak. The results of my face and body are done by Dr. Somsak. The nurses and staff here are taking care of me really well. My room is clean. Interpreters Surhee and Nana are very good. Also, Randy is really good, too. He informed me information in detail before I went to the hospital. I received free transportation to the airport from the hospital. Thank you for everything. God bless.
I was so scared to go to Thailand alone because I thought something could go wrong and I needed to be evacuated, but no, best decision I ever made. The hospital was better than I expected; professional, supportive, and consistent compared to Australia. I had five-day stays whereas in Australia you only get one and have to fend for yourself. The surgeon was highly experienced and also the anesthetist. They were there the whole time monitoring you. My tummy, even though still swollen at the time of writing, has provided a new confidence. If anyone asks me about safety and surgery, I would say do it. I will come back for more surgeries later.
Now I understand why many FTMs in Vietnam recommend Yanhee. I really appreciate and would like to express my gratitude to Yanhee for their excellent care and professionalism before, during, and after my surgery. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the services and support provided by doctors, nurses, and interpreters throughout my journey.
While my experience at Yanhee was particularly positive, there are two points that I believe could be improved. Firstly, I hope that in oral medical discussions, my preferred pronoun as “he” could be consistently respected. This would significantly enhance FTM patient’s overall experience. Secondly, I find it hard to control the temperature inside the hospital room, which leads to excessive cold sometimes. Despite these minor areas for improvement, I’m wholeheartedly grateful to Yanhee for helping me on my path to self-discovery and transformation.
My experience at Yanhee has been very positive. From organizing to arriving at the hospital, I was impressed by how well they set up to receive and assist international patients. The doctor was professional and checked in on me along with physios.
The nursing care, however, is beyond amazing. Absolute professionals with genuine care and warmth. I will be forever grateful, as someone who travelled by myself, for these amazing professionals that go above and beyond.
