Samitivej Chonburi Hospital commenced operations in 2015 as part of the wider Samitivej network,  a leading group of private hospitals throughout Thailand. The Chonburi facility features more than 200 outpatient examination rooms, distributed across two main buildings that house various departments. Additionally, the hospital accommodates more than 180 inpatient beds, ensuring comprehensive care and services.

Samitivej Chonburi Hospital is equipped with the latest medical technology across three primary areas: Diagnostic and Treatment, Surgical, and Patient Care Technologies. The hospital excels particularly in dental care and implantation, and obstetrics and gynecology.

Among the most sought-after services are one-day dental crowns and minimally invasive gynecological surgeries, reflecting the hospital's commitment to advanced and efficient patient care. 

Bariatric and orthopedic procedures, including hip and knee replacements, as well as intricate reconstructions (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL, PLC, ALL), require longer hospital stays, with the hospital’s expansive medical team on standby to guide patients through their rehabilitation process in the days and weeks following surgery while remaining in Thailand.
