Why Getting a Second Opinion in Thailand Matters — Especially for Expats

If you're an expat living in Thailand or a foreigner planning to receive treatment here, and you've just been diagnosed with a serious illness — like cancer, a condition requiring surgery, or something needing expensive medical tests — you may be wondering:

• Is this diagnosis accurate?
• Do I really need this treatment?
• Is there a better or more affordable alternative?

This is why seeking a “Second Opinion in Thailand” is a smart, sometimes crucial, step before moving forward with treatment.

When to Seek a Second Opinion:

• When surgery is recommended as the only option
• When expensive scans like MRIs are required
• When you feel unsure about the treatment plan
• When you want to compare medical costs and options

Example case :
Mr. Ken was told by a private hospital surgeon that he had an abscess and needed an urgent MRI and surgery. Concerned, he contacted NAVAA Health. We matched him with a colorectal surgeon from a top Thai medical school who was practicing at a private hospital near his home. After reevaluation, the specialist confirmed no MRI was needed and a minor procedure could be done instead — saving him tens of thousands of baht and avoiding unnecessary stress.
