Orthopedics in Gocheok-dong, Seoul, Korea

I went in because of lower back pain. It was probably a bit painful because of my lifestyle, and they told me I should keep stretching regularly and often. I also went in diligently for physical therapy. I was prescribed injections too, so I went once or twice a week and it got better. There are a lot of patients at the hospital, so there is a bit of a wait. It’s a long-established hospital, and the staff are friendly.

I received treatment from Dr. Hanbyeol. I had an inflammation on my foot, so I received cooling and radiation therapy and physical therapy. Above all, I was really glad I could get a CT scan. It's so great to be able to get it done not too far away when surgical confirmation is needed, and that I could check the results so quickly. I think it's really good. The physical therapy room seems nice too. It was a bit hard to find at first because it was a little separated, but I got used to it right away. The doctor was kind and listened to my symptoms, explaining the treatment, and the nurses and physical therapy staff were friendly as well. Since it's located between Sindorim and Guro Station, I think it would be good for anyone nearby who gets injured or needs orthopedic treatment to visit.

I had swelling and pain above my right ankle, so I went to the nearby Samsung Orthopedic Clinic. The consultation room is on the first floor, but the X-ray and physical therapy rooms are on the second floor, which made the whole process a bit inconvenient.
