Orthopedics in Bulgwang-dong, Seoul, Korea

During the consultation, they explained everything in detail and made sure I understood, and they also provided physical therapy carefully and kindly.

I slipped the day before Chuseok, so I’ve been visiting regularly for consultations and treatment since the last week of September. Since I can make an appointment through Naver Place, I was able to book in advance without having to wait long, and I was able to receive care while getting everything explained kindly. During the consultation, they checked everything right away with an ultrasound, and I was also able to receive injections, physical therapy, and manual therapy immediately. The consultation rooms are on the 5th floor and physical therapy is on the 7th, so even when there are a lot of people and a long waiting list, everything is separated right away and it doesn’t feel too hectic. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, evening appointments are available until 8 p.m., and they’re open on Saturdays and Sundays as well, so I was able to visit whenever I needed to. I was able to continue seeing the same doctor. I recommend this place to office workers and anyone who has had trouble using a hospital because their schedule didn’t match up.

This is an older orthopedic clinic in my neighborhood. They are good at knee replacement surgeries and have inpatient facilities. I recently visited because my shoulder was hurting. A few years ago, I had surgery on one shoulder due to calcification at another hospital, but Dr. Guja-sung says that surgery is not a cure-all. He believes it's best to try to solve the problem with exercise and stretching as much as possible, and only to consider surgery as a last resort. Even for immediate pain relief, he didn't recommend steroids but instead explained a ligament-strengthening injection called Regenesis that has been recently introduced. Knowing from my family's treatment experience that many pain management and orthopedic clinics just give steroid injections for quick relief, I feel even more trust in him for not recommending steroids. After seeing the effects of the ligament-strengthening injection I received this time, I’ll leave another review if I can for my next visit.
