His is a private but reasonable private clinic in a public hospital. I can suggest Ajarn Dorn Wattanakulpanich at Ramathibodi Hospital. However, almost all docs can speak English well enough with a foreign patient's support. There's precious little genuine medical support. They are also habituating not in the sense of addictive but one can't just start & stop them stopping requires slow & careful weaning. As an OP has pointed out, however, antidepressants can mask deeper organic symptoms. In general, psychiatrists here only push pills. A lot of docs think that g-o-d spelled backwards. You have to do your own research & come armed with questions & facts. The doctor-patient relationship, like all relationships, relies on chemistry: no point pushing a rock uphill. But Phuket is a populous province-there must be public hospitals with good reputations there hosting well-trained docs. I certainly could not afford Bumrungrad! That said, one often only gets to see a young resident who may not have chosen your complaint as his/her specialty. I've had good luck with public hospitals in Bangkok.
And certainly no doc investigated my liver! Like our OP, I have not had a phlebotomy for a year due to Covid. Whether or not phlebotomies are ordered takes into account your five iron levels (serum iron ferritin, transferrin- & iron-binding capacity transferrin & transferrin saturation per cent but it's a fine balance when taking your haemoglobin, haematocrit & MCV into account so as not to leave you anaemic which has problems of its own. Most haematologists in Thailand are at a loss when it comes to haemochromatosis-Asians don't get it! So their knowledge is wholly theoretical. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago and have suffered depression, anxiety/panicks, sleeplessness & odd neuropathies. Sheryl, very interesting about haemochromatosis.
