Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. They said it was stress. Dr. Dhanapat actually listened, asked a bunch of questions that seemed unrelated at first, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue affecting my digestion. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—made it simple. I'm on treatment now and finally feel like myself.
Needed a colonoscopy, which nobody looks forward to. The prep was the worst part, honestly. But on the day, at Bangpakok 9, everything was straightforward. Dr. Dhanapat was quick and efficient, the anesthesia team was great, and I was in and out. Woke up feeling fine, got the clear results a few days later. It was just a routine check, but it's a relief to have it done properly.
The hospital itself is nice and calm, which helped because I was pretty anxious. Parking was a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once inside, the nurses at the clinic were really kind. One noticed I was alone and kept checking on me. Dr. Dhanapat's assistant was also super helpful in scheduling my follow-up and explaining the billing. It felt like a team effort, not just a doctor's appointment.
What stood out for me was how Dr. Dhanapat talks to you. He doesn't rush. I came in with a list of worries I'd Googled, and instead of dismissing them, he went through each one calmly. He has a quiet, steady way about him that just makes you feel heard. Even when he had to give me news I didn't want to hear about my cholesterol, he did it in a way that felt motivating, not scary.
