Treatment and diagnostics hip joint replacement (hip arthroplasty) in Kaphen, South Korea

I was firmly determined to treat my bilateral coxarthrosis (hip joint osteoarthritis) abroad: the statistics for joint replacement in Russia were not encouraging.

I chose Cheongshim International Medical Center. I was attracted by the clinic's high overall level, the surgeons' qualifications, and, not least, the reasonable price.

The experience was fantastic. The center is on the shore of a lake, with an excellent view from the hospital room window. The staff is very attentive: they met and conducted an initial examination despite my late arrival; they prepared movies in Russian. The next morning, I underwent a full examination, and in the afternoon, I had surgery to install a metal-ceramic endoprosthesis. Its warranty is 20 years.

After that, I was under constant supervision by nurses. Korea has an extremely sensible approach to pain relief: small doses of anesthetic are administered continuously for 2 days, and an additional injection can be requested if needed. This greatly contributed to an easy recovery.

I recovered quickly and now feel wonderful. My main advice to everyone going abroad for treatment: bring all your images and doctor's reports, even old ones. It helps the doctors!

I am endlessly grateful to all the staff at Cheongshim International Medical Center for their help, professionalism, and genuine care.

I have very warm impressions of everyone who met me in Korea, worked with me, translated, and, of course, treated me. Wonderful, very bright and positive translator Inna Kim, charming nurses, and incredible orthopedic surgeon Jang Woo Suk, who instilled in me confidence in a 100% successful surgery. I also want to note the work of rehabilitation therapist Yu Young Eun—despite her young age, she proved to be a first-class specialist. I felt the care and sincere involvement of all the clinic's specialists!

After installing the most modern model endoprosthesis, I successfully completed the recovery period and returned home to Russia in a wonderful mood.

I am immensely grateful to the Cheongsim Medical Center for the hip joint replacement surgery. It was successfully performed by Dr. Jang Woo-seok — thank you for his professionalism! I would also like to note the excellent work of the coordinators, Inna and Natalia, who were attentive and caring throughout my entire stay at the clinic.
