My MRI experience at Clinic Severance was exceptional. The facility was modern and efficient, and the staff were highly professional and spoke English fluently. The MRI process was smooth, with minimal wait time. The radiologist was reassuring and provided a thorough explanation, making me comfortable during the scan. The detailed MRI report was invaluable for my treatment plan.

Two years ago, I had a hernia removed back in Russia, but back pain still bothered me. After moving to Korea, I decided to take up this issue. I turned to neuropathologists, and then to the spinal surgeon of the Severance clinic (on the recommendation of friends). It turned out that my disk had completely disintegrated and the only way out was to replace it. I do not argue that the operation cost a pretty penny, but after 3 months I already forgot about those terrible pains, it's worth it. I thank the staff of the medical center and in which case I will know where to turn.

I could not even imagine that when I wanted to get my mole it would turn out to be cancer. It's good that I was on a long business trip in Korea. In general, after a series of tests, I was told that the neoplasm should be urgently removed. I agreed. I had cancer removed with the Mohs method. Everything went well, there are no scars as such. I am grateful to fate for the fact that at that time I was in South Korea and underwent an operation at the Gil Hospital. The best doctors work here! Recommend!

My experience with brain cancer treatment at Samsung Medical Center was surprisingly good. The surgery was performed with a high degree of skill and I felt in good hands throughout the entire process. The doctors and nurses were extremely attentive and caring. They provided me with all the information and support I needed during my treatment. I appreciate their work and professional approach to my case. I went through chemotherapy with nausea, as expected, but overall the experience was good. The clinic is at a high level.

I experienced trigeminal neuralgia last year and it was probably the most painful time of my life. After many consultations and searching for possible treatment options, I turned to the Clinics On Call coordinators for help, and they offered me a Samsung clinic in South Korea. Their support was extremely valuable in helping me find an experienced physician to perform microvascular decompression surgery. It was successful and I felt relief almost immediately. Although recovery was not the easiest part, the quality of care at Samsung Clinic made the entire process much easier. It should be noted that the Clinics On Call coordinators continued to monitor my condition, which really added confidence in the successful outcome of the treatment.

My father was diagnosed with tonsil cancer. The treatment took place in a clinic in Seoul. There he underwent surgery, after which he was prescribed a course of radiation therapy. It took some time to recover. After his treatment, we walked around the city, enjoyed the beauty of Korea, and went home. There were no problems with the language, as we were able to order an interpreter service. Of course, our clinics are very far from Korean clinics. Everything here is conducive to recovery, from smiling staff to comfortable rooms.

My grandmother had thyroid cancer. Our attending physician offered to go for treatment at the Anam clinic (Korea). There we came across Dr. Jung Kwan Yun. A good professional with a capital letter. He helped my grandmother, and throughout the treatment, he supported her morally. This is important, especially when you are in a foreign country. There were no problems with the understanding of the doctors. We ordered a translator for ourselves, although most of them speak English.

I have been living with a cavernoma of the brain for 7 years. At first, I was treated with drugs that relieve the symptoms. But lately, they have stopped helping. Doctors recommended surgery, but in Russia, they did not agree to perform it, since the optic nerve was nearby. My friends in South Korea showed my pictures to doctors in their city and they suggested specialists who would definitely be able to remove my cavernoma. So I got to the Anam clinic, where I was operated on. Now I'm at home recovering. Everything went well, for which I will never tire of thanking the neurosurgeons of the hospital!.

My struggle with trigeminal neuralgia led me to seek treatment outside of my own country and I was delighted to discover a service such as Clinics On Call. They referred me to the Asan Clinic in South Korea, where I was offered percutaneous rhizotomy as an alternative to more invasive surgeries. From the moment of my first contact until the end of treatment, the coordinators were in touch, providing the necessary information and support. To be honest, I was a little nervous about the procedure, but the doctors and staff at Asan Clinic were incredibly patient and kept me informed every step of the way. After the procedure, my symptoms went away. It was especially important to me that the doctors used a conservative approach, trying to minimize risks and ensure a quick recovery.

However, my doctor informed me that it was not dangerous as the tumors could be eradicated completely at that stage with minimally invasive surgery.
