Our independent verification of doctor's American board certification is complete. Of 1,900 profiles we list, we found 173 physicians who are currently certified by one of the 24 board members of the American Board of Medical Specialties. Doctors whose training has been verified will have a purple American Board of Medical Specialties icon in their profile listings. If you click at the icon, you will find a list of all certified doctors

This is what the icon look like

As we stated earlier,we found that the doctor profile pages on various Thai hospital websites are inaccurate. We believe the errors was due to clerical error, and unintentional. For example, a number of hospitals mistakenly indicate their doctors as 'Diplomate of the American Board of Rheumatology' or 'Diplomate of the American Board of Infectious Disease', both of which do actually not exist.

Both Rheumatology and Infectious Disease are in fact subspecialties, which are certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

We will regularly perform this verification so that our data is up-to-date.

[UPDATED - Oct 5, 2008]

We just added additional 418 entries of Thailand-based doctors who are certified by a board member of ABMS. Right now we don't have much information on these doctors but will keep updating our database.

Anun Seetapun MD Plastic Surgeon
written by JJC, November 27, 2008

A comment on Dr Anun Seetapun, since your blog is not now taking user reviews for this listed physician: his work on me twenty years ago has still left a visible facial scar; his office administration was abysmal and abusive to patients.
