I came from Hong Kong for a consultation. The clinical environment is good. Dr. Suthipong is professional, he explained to me clearly all the advantages and disadvantages of the surgery. Also, I had good communication with Yada, she responded quickly and kindly.
A wonderful clinic with professional staff and high-quality service.
When I got to the clinic, I realized that I wanted to have the operation here.
I received a consultation and answers to all my questions.
The operation was performed the very next day after the first visit and I didn't have to wait.
The operating room and the operation itself were at a high level and in very comfortable conditions.
The operation was performed by Dr. Suthipong Treeratana. Very positive and professional - a doctor you can trust!
The entire team of the clinic helped and consulted before, during and after the operation. For which I am very grateful to them!
Thank you all for helping me solve my problem.
I advise and recommend this clinic to everyone!
I recently had a procedure at this clinic and from the initial consultation with Dr. Suthipong to the actual surgery at Paolo Hospital, they exceeded my expectations. It was 5 star service all round. Dr. Suthipong was extremely patient with me and explained the entire procedure and aftercare in detail. The clinic was in touch the entire time and even now, after two weeks of post-op check-ups with me. Thank you Rattinan Medical Center is the best in Bangkok and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
I just had my gastric sleeve done 3 weeks ago, top class clinic Rattinan. From the moment we spoke to the doctor after the treatment, she is now second to none. I highly recommend this clinic for bariatric procedures and a big thank you to the clinic staff and of course Dr. Panot and Dr. Sutipong, the best in their field. Well done on
my journey to losing weight and feeling great!
I haven't been able to get the procedure done yet due to my busy schedule, but I would like to share that Nan is very responsive to my inquiries, I also had an online consultation with Dr. Sutipong who explained everything clearly and frankly.

Dr. Suthipong and his team at Rattinan Clinic are the epitome of what a doctor-patient relationship should be. They guide you every step of the way. They solve problems through conversation, not command. And I can't stress this enough, but they use cutting-edge technology when it comes to treatment and look for what would be best for individual patients. I highly recommend Rattinan Clinic to anyone looking to undergo any plastic surgery treatment!!
