นพ. นพ.กัญจนิน ภัทโรพงศ์

นพ.กัญจนิน ภัทโรพงศ์ is a Thai-trained plastic surgeon. We show his name only in the Thai form, because that is the only form his hospital prints and we will not invent an English spelling. He appears on the doctor directory of Sikarin Hospital, a hospital in Bangkok, on La Salle Road, Bang Na, under the specialty ศัลยศาสตร์ตกแต่งและเสริมสร้าง. The listing describes him as a surgeon of the hospital and gives Thai and English as his languages.

Everything on this page comes from that one official listing. It names no individual operations, no sub-specialty, no professional society, no publications and no count of years in practice, so none of those appear here. Whether he performs a given operation is something to establish by asking, not something a job title answers.

How we gather and weigh provider facts is explained on the research methodology page.

The hospital listing sets out his education in three steps:

• Medical school: the degree แพทยศาสตร์บัณฑิต (MD) from Prince of Songkla University in southern Thailand.
• General surgery: วุฒิบัตรศัลยศาสตร์, a board certificate in surgery, again attributed to Prince of Songkla University.
• Plastic surgery: วุฒิบัตรเฉพาะทางศัลยศาสตร์ตกแต่งและเสริมสร้าง, a subspecialty board certificate in plastic and reconstructive surgery. No awarding institution is named for this last one, so we leave it blank.

The listing shows general surgical training before the plastic surgery certificate. No dates accompany any step.

One check is outstanding. The licence can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th, and our patient team can help you confirm it before you travel. A patient who wants that confirmation before travelling can ask our team to request the licence number from the hospital.

His one documented position is surgeon at Sikarin Hospital, and it is described as current. The listing also carries a clinic schedule: Mondays 08:00 to 20:00, and Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays 08:00 to 17:00. A hospital schedule is a general pattern, not a promise of a slot, so our patient team confirms what is actually open when it answers your request.

No earlier hospitals, university posts or fellowships are published, and we do not suggest any.

The one thing the listing establishes is the specialty. It does not itemise operations, which is why this profile is not tied to any individual page in our procedure library. Linking a surgeon to rhinoplasty, breast surgery or liposuction on the strength of the words "plastic surgeon" alone would be a guess, and in medical content a guess can mislead a patient.

Some background that applies to the specialty as a whole: plastic and reconstructive surgery spans repair after injury or illness as well as elective aesthetic work, and individual surgeons often concentrate on part of that range. So the most useful opening question is which operations he carries out routinely and which he would send to a colleague. The pages under procedures explain individual operations in general terms; they say nothing specific about him.

With no procedure list published, the appointment itself is where scope becomes clear. In general, it helps to leave with answers on:

• whether he does your operation regularly, and how he would approach it for your anatomy;
• the board certificates above and, if you want to cross-check them, the licence number;
• anaesthesia, and whether the hospital would keep you overnight;
• the risks that apply to your own health history, how long recovery usually takes, and when it is sensible to fly;
• who reviews you after you return home and what happens if a problem arises.

Written answers make later comparison with other surgeons far easier.

The hospital is in Bangkok's Bang Na district and his profile gives English among his languages. The hospital pages we could read are in Thai, so ask which documents and consultation materials are available in English. Services for foreign patients such as a dedicated desk, interpreters or transfers are not described in the sources we read, and neither is accreditation, so we leave them out; we can raise them with the hospital on your behalf. For hotels and getting around, read the Bangkok guide.

A few details speed things up:

• the concern or goal, in a sentence or two;
• age, height, weight, existing conditions, regular medicines and allergies;
• any earlier operations, implants or scars;
• recent photographs in daylight from the relevant angles, only if you are comfortable sharing them;
• the window of dates when you could travel.
