Add new review I don't recommend this doctor Written by David Wilson | View all my reviews Top 10 Reviewer Monday, 29 June 2009 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
I'm sorry to report that, in my case, Dr Nopawan appears to have made a wrong diagnosis, with potentially serious consequences having had an adverse effect on my general health and the quality of my everyday life. I was referred to her in December 2008 because of muscle pain and weakness. After a brief series of questions, no physical examination, an MRI of my pituitary gland and some lab tests, she diagnosed hypopituitarism and treated me with prednisolone, thyroxine and testosterone. Although the muscle problem improved initially, after 3 months I progressively deteriorated with diarrhoea, dizziness, palpitations, headache, raised blood pressure, loss of muscle mass, and further weakness. I discussed my case with three doctors (personal friends) abroad and sought a second opinion from a professor of endocrinology at one of the Bangkok medical schools. All these doctors questioned the diagnosis, based on the facts that there was nothing in my medical history to suggest hypopituitarism, my MRI was normal, and the lab tests were all either normal or borderline.

dangerously disappointing
she does not listen. when i questioned her she told me i could see another doctor if i was not happy with her. she prescribed 3 medicines none of which i needed. a med to lower blood pressure though i am usually at 110/75 but on that day i had a wild ride on a motorcycle taxi to reach the hospital and was at 140/80. That was based only on that reading.
