The modern facilities offer a comprehensive range of medical, health and aesthetic treatments and services in a relaxed environment, including dental treatments by DC-one and high-tech skin treatments by Face-2-Face. A spa and a health food restaurant are planned.

The concept is to provide treatment in the garden. No hospital feelings or sick signals are sent out. Instead, visitors are greeted by Zen-like architecture, water features and earth tones.

CEO Poompong Patpongpanit believes that this approach to providing medical and aesthetic services in a single centre, where cutting-edge healthcare technology is combined with the human touch, is a much-needed addition to the health-services industry.

For many foreigners requiring private medical treatment, staying in a nice hotel and receiving professional medical care is often less than the cost of private treatment in their own countries, he said.

"Here, we are striving to break from what has become a very commercial approach to private healthcare," he said.

"It is important that the medical practitioners and health professionals at

Med Park take patients'

best interests at heart and will be honest about the treatment they may or may not need.

"We want to build long-lasting relationships with our patients. When patients come to us, our goal is to assess their genuine needs and then consultation. That enables us to understand not just their medical issues, but also personal issues that may lead to the desire for a particular treatment.

"This is a very important aspect of the Med Park concept which separates us from the current trend of just giving the patient what they request or even trying to sell them something they don't really need."
