How it works

Bookimed is free for patients – clinics pay us a commission, and you pay the clinic its own price with no markup. Five steps to your genicular artery embolization in Thailand:

  1. Share your case

    Tell us about your condition and share your latest scans.

  2. Get treatment plans

    Your coordinator finds clinics that match your needs and helps you choose. Your preferred clinics then send personalized treatment plans and quotes for you to compare.

  3. Plan your trip

    We set treatment dates that work for you and help arrange your flights and accommodation.

  4. Visit the clinic

    The clinic team performs your genicular artery embolization on the agreed date. We support you throughout your trip.

  5. Back home

    You fly home 1–3 days after the procedure, with pain relief building over 1–3 months. Your coordinator stays in touch and helps arrange a follow-up if you need one.

Some clinics ask for a deposit. A $200 or €200 deposit paid through Bookimed comes off your clinic bill and is refundable up to 10 calendar days before your visit. A deposit paid to the clinic follows its own terms.

Genicular Artery Embolization recovery timeline: what to expect week by week

You can usually fly home 1–3 days after the procedure. Fly only after the puncture site is checked and you have no groin swelling or leg pain. Desk work usually resumes after 1–2 days, while physical jobs may need up to 3 days. Gentle exercise usually resumes in 1–2 weeks, and pain relief builds over weeks, with the final result assessed at about 1–3 months.

  1. Day of procedure

    You may have mild to moderate puncture-site discomfort under local anesthesia. You spend a few hours in observation, have the site checked, and walk before discharge. Rest your leg, avoid driving, and skip heavy lifting.

  2. Days 1–3

    You may have knee ache or bruising. Keep activity light with walking and normal daily activity. Avoid strenuous activity, hot baths, and prolonged standing.

  3. Weeks 1–2

    Pain usually improves gradually, and you can resume gentle exercise. Avoid high-impact sports until cleared. After 1–2 weeks, gradually resume impact sports and heavy loading as pain allows, once cleared.

  4. Months 1–3

    Pain relief builds over weeks and reaches its peak during this period. Continue physiotherapy as advised. Your pain and function are usually reviewed at about 1–3 months, often remotely.

When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic for a fever over 100.4°F or increasing redness or drainage. Seek clinic advice for severe pain that medicine does not relieve. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.

I am healing faster than I expected, and I am back to my computer, and piano based work 10 days later
Menness clinic is very professional, and I highly recommend them for carpal tunnel release. I had a bilateral open release done by Dr. Big, the orthopedic surgeon on staff at Menness clinic. I was nervous going in because my CTS was severe and I have cerebral palsy. I was pleased to learn that Dr. Big had performed surgery on people with CP previously, and knew exactly what to expect, and how to operate on me to get the best outcome possible. I am healing faster than I expected, and I am back to my computer, and piano based work 10 days later.

I can't help but praise this procedure
I am absolutely thrilled with the treatment and service. I didn’t expect to feel any results for at least several months. After two days, I almost got rid of the pain, and I was told that I wouldn't feel the benefits for at least 2 months. Stay in touch. Anyone considering stem cells, contact me if you want an honest review. I can't praise this procedure enough. If I live 5 years without pain, I will definitely return for a follow-up procedure. Five-star staff and treatment ❤️

Waking up after the knee replacement surgery, my first impression was one of being in capable hands
Waking up after the knee replacement surgery, my first impression was one of being in capable hands. The staff was attentive. Throughout the process, the surgeon and clinical team demonstrated solid professionalism, and I felt properly supported during my stay. I appreciate that even now, during this early recovery phase, the clinic remains easy to reach whenever I have questions. One thing for others to note is that there were some additional expenses beyond the initial quoted price. Overall, it was a good experience.

What is the level of medicine in Thailand?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.

As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

When is the best time to travel to Thailand?

The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip.
