I can second that Dr Pornchai is very good.
And if BPH is too expensive for you he may even be willing to treat you in Bangsaen, as he works there too.

I have been a customer with BBL for more then 10 years and had money disappear from my account only once.

It was only 2000 Baht, and neither I nor BBL could really figure out what had happened. I may have withdrawn the money myself and forgotten about it.

I found the way BBL handled this incident remarkable:

when the staff looked at my passbook it stated that the original balance was 50000 Baht, I had withdrawn 10000 Baht, and the new balance was 38000 Baht. So 2000 Baht had evaporated.
The staff said "Oh yeah, there is a mistake!" Her computer told her that I had withdrawn 2000 Baht, this withdrawal did not show up when I updated my passbook. So she took a pen, wrote by hand into my passbook "withdrawn 2000 Baht, new balance 38000 Baht", handed me my passbook and happily stated that everything was now ok.

I complained with the call center and they told me: my passbook serves only as information for the customer, it is NOT proof of the balance of my account. The only proof is BBL's computer. Whatever is written in my passbook is not  legally binding and has no meaning, it just serves to refresh my memory. I DO NOT POSSESS ANY PROOF OF THE BALANCE OF MY ACCOUNT as the only proof is BBL's computer system. Not my passbook.

I do trust BBL's computer. But I will not give them more then 10% of my money.
I prefer banks that give me written evidence of my balance.

not good
it is a private hospital, most other private hospitals are better, and many government hospitals are better
it is ok for basic care, though
