Dennis Arabena’s Story & Testimonial (30/12/2025)

Good morning to you and your fellow patients. I had the good fortune to phone and meet Doc Martyn through a good friend.
Over the last 12 months I had cramping in my left calf muscle which increased over a period of approximately 6 months. Whilst on a holiday in Hua Hin I was walking with great discomfort. I could walk no more than 20 metres and had to sit for a while. So, I rang the Doc Martyn and explained my situation.
He responded quickly and described the condition as intermittent claudication, which meant nought to me. On my return to Pattaya I went to see him. After some testing he recommended I make use of the health cover I had. After seeing a vascular surgeon who arrived at the same diagnosis.

The problem was the blockage was not in my calf, but in my Aorta. The surgeon inserted a stent and whilst doing this he discovered I had Atrial Fibrillation, of which I had no symptoms. It could easily cause a heart attack or a stroke. The good Doc recommended having an ablation procedure.
After a couple of visits to a Cardiologist, and medication, the ablation was done successfully and no more problems at this stage.
In closing, if not for Doc Martyn and the vast knowledge of his profession, I don’t know what could have and would have happened. I strongly advise anyone, be it an expat or not, to read his reviews and to get advice as soon as you think a problem may arise with your health.

Once again thank you Doc Martyn.
