About the clinic

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair at YOUNIFY Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, is a minimally invasive procedure performed by experts in general surgery. The clinic focuses on advanced techniques to help patients return to their daily lives quickly. This surgery is a standard solution for treating groins hernias with less pain and smaller incisions than traditional open methods.

Expert Surgical Care

Dr. Premkamol Patraithikul leads the surgical team for hernia treatments at the clinic. Dr. Premkamol Patraithikul is a General and Laparoscopic Surgeon who earned a fellowship in laparoscopic surgery from Mahidol University at Siriraj Hospital. This specialized training allows Dr. Premkamol Patraithikul to perform complex repairs using small cameras and specialized tools. Dr. Premkamol Patraithikul also holds certification from the Thai Board of Surgery, which he achieved in 2021.

The Laparoscopic Approach

The clinic uses a minimally invasive method to fix the abdominal wall weakness. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a few tiny cuts instead of one large incision. A thin tube with a camera helps the doctor see the hernia from the inside. This technique helps reduce physical trauma to the body. It also leads to a much faster recovery time for the patient. Most people experience less discomfort after surgery compared to open repair methods.

Patient Experience in Bangkok

YOUNIFY Clinic provides a structured care plan for every patient. This plan starts with a thorough assessment before the surgery. The team also schedules long-term follow-up visits to check on the healing process. The clinic staff speaks English, Thai, and Mandarin to assist international visitors. Patients travel to this facility in Bangkok for the combination of surgical expertise and organized medical support.

YOUNIFY Clinic: more details about the clinic

Thailand, Bangkok

YOUNIFY Clinic is a physician-led Healthy Aging and Wellness Center in Bangkok. The clinic operates as a multi-specialty facility on Silom Road. The medical team provides coordinated care across weight management, chronic pain, and preventive health. This integrated model focuses on sustaining body function and mobility through non-surgical methods.

Academic Background and Founder Credentials

The clinic's mission is built on evidence-based medical standards and multidisciplinary planning. Founder Dr. Noppachai Siranart holds post-doctoral research fellowships from Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic. This academic foundation shapes the clinic's focus on advanced endoscopy and metabolic disease care.

Medical staff hold specialized certifications from Thai medical boards. Gastroenterology specialists have completed clinical fellowships in interventional endoscopy. The team includes surgeons and physicians trained at Mahidol and Thammasat University. This training supports the clinic's use of image-guided and endoscopic treatment pathways.

Weight Management and Metabolic Care

The clinic offers Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) as a primary weight-loss option. This procedure is performed through the mouth with no external abdominal incisions. It serves as a non-surgical alternative to standard bariatric operations. The care pathway includes health assessments and nutrition tracking over time.

Specialists also provide surgical bariatric options for patients who meet specific BMI and health criteria:

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Gastric bypass surgery
Bariatric revision surgery (including APC and TORe)
Gastric balloon placement

The weight management program incorporates medication, metabolic tracking, and behavioral follow-up. Surgical options typically require a hospital stay of 2–4 days. Every plan is adjusted based on long-term monitoring of hormone balance and weight markers.

Chronic Pain and Mobility Treatments

Pain medicine specialists use image-guided procedures to treat musculoskeletal joint issues. A key treatment is Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for chronic knee pain. This procedure uses a 0.6 mm pinhole entry – no traditional incisions are needed. It is an outpatient treatment that does not require a hospital stay.

The clinic performs TransArterial MicroEmbolization (TAME) for various chronic joint conditions. Data indicates a 97% technical success rate for TAME procedures. Fewer than 0.5% of these patients require hospitalization after treatment. Specialists also offer minimally invasive options for chronic neck and back pain.

Gastroenterology and Preventive Screening

The digestive health department focuses on early detection of gastrointestinal diseases. Dr. Kittithat Tantitanawat leads this direction with a focus on interventional endoscopy. The department manages conditions such as gastritis and gastrointestinal polyps.

Preventive services include several screening and health checkup programs:

Upper endoscopy and colonoscopy
Athlete-specific health screenings
Age-appropriate cancer screenings
Annual vaccinations and checkups

Specialists also provide targeted care for women's health and menopause. These sessions address bone health, sleep disturbances, and hormonal changes. Each screening is planned based on the individual's age and lifestyle risks.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats patients from worldwide locations and provides dedicated English-facing services. Patient coordinators assist in English, Thai, and Mandarin Chinese. All international patients receive a coordinated care plan that includes initial consultations and structured follow-up.

I researched many clinics in Thailand before choosing Younify Clinic for GAE treatment, and I’m very glad I did. Dr. Noppachai and his team were professional, attentive, and highly experienced. The clinic environment was modern and comfortable, and the procedure itself was much less painful than expected. Most importantly, my osteoarthritis knee pain improved substantially after treatment. Walking, standing, and daily activities are now much easier for me. Excellent option for people looking for non-surgical knee pain treatment in Bangkok.

I had been suffering from chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis for many years and was starting to think knee replacement surgery was my only option. After researching non-surgical knee pain treatments, I discovered Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) at Younify Clinic in Bangkok with Dr. Noppachai Siranart. From the very first consultation, Dr. Noppachai took the time to explain my condition, review my imaging carefully, and discus realistic expectations for treatment. The GAE procedure itself was much easier than I expected, and the recovery was surprisingly smooth. Over the next several weeks, I noticed significant improvement in my knee pain, swelling, and stiffness. I can now walk longer distances, climb stairs more comfortably, and return to activities I had avoided for years. If you are looking for a minimally invasive treatment for knee osteoarthritis in Thailand, I highly recommend Dr. Noppachai and the team at Younify Clinic. Their professionalism, advanced medical approach, and patient care truly stand out.

If you are looking for a non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis, I highly recommend GAE treatment at Younify Clinic (Dr.Noppachai). Before treatment, I struggled with constant pain while walking and climbing stairs. The procedure itself was smooth and much easier than expected. Over the following months, my knee pain gradually improved and my quality of life became much better.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I rarely write Google reviews, but I felt I had to share my experience with Younify Clinic because it was genuinely that good. I came in because I was dealing with ongoing knee pain, mainly due to my higher body weight, and it was really starting to impact my daily activities. What stood out immediately was how the doctors approached my case holistically. Instead of just treating the knee pain, they helped me understand the root cause and recommended a combination of Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for pain relief and ESG (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty) for stomach tightening to support weight loss. The doctors are clearly very experienced in GAE and ESG, and they took the time to explain everything thoroughly, which gave me a lot of confidence. It’s honestly not easy to find a clinic or hospital in Thailand that specializes in both ESG and GAE. For someone like me, dealing with both weight and knee pain, this was exactly what I needed—it really felt like solving two problems at once. On top of that, the staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire process. I felt well taken care of from consultation to follow-up. I highly recommend Younify Clinic to anyone dealing with knee pain—whether it’s related to weight, aging, or other causes. Truly an outstanding 5-star experience!
