Anyone heard of Wooridul hopsital in South Korea?

i have just moved here and wanted to obtain some consultations with doctors here. In all the research i have been doing, the Wooridul Spine Center keeps getting mentioned. If anyone has experience with them and doctor recommendations please let me know.

thank you,

Hi Mark, I haven't heard of the Wooridul Spine Center. However, it does seem that they are well-established. Maybe they can connect you with a few patients that have traveled from the US to have surgery with them in the past.

Good luck.

its an excellent hospital. my parents are in indonesia and they have consulted doctors over there regarding my condition. I will be seeing them when i leave for overseas next week. I plan on visiting the indonesian spinal unit, all the best spine clinics in india and even consult the wooridul clinic in UAE. apparantly the UAE clinic is probably considered the best in the world for spinal care...they have many procedures that are not used in other hospitals and have been successfuly used in patients. I will let you know how my experience went...my cousin had a surgery in wooridul. she said that it was an experience beyond imagination. they have a movie theatre inside the hospital. literally, its a 5 star hotel experience guaranteed...

I suppose if they are less expensive than other countries, and you get proper treatment, it would still be a bargain.

The important factor is that you believe in the treatment and the surgeon for optimal results.

the problem with foreigners having to pay more is...its kind of funny, that they don't know the customs. In countries like in thailand or s.korea, it is the norm to charge foreigners more than they charge their locals because they know foreigners don't know the true cost. More often than not, it just boils down to knowing a few phrases in their local language and having the ability to ask 'can you give it to me a bit cheaper' ...it has always worked for me before...

The double cervical ADR is done by a surgeon who spinned out from Wooridul hospital.

They say it was " perfect treatment "

I believe these two artificial discs are not in center of the patient's neck.

I think it is the only case they could do double cervical ADR. I would put really centered x-ray online if I were him.

There is too much information missing to critique the surgeon's work. The placement may be optimal depending on the patient's previous pathologies.

I don't read the language it was printed in but noticed both ProDisc and Prestige discs displayed. Was this some sort of promotional page?
