Gastrointestinal examination in Seoul, South Korea

I am endlessly grateful to the entire staff of the "Severance" clinic in South Korea for their professionalism. I was amazed not only by the qualifications of the Korean specialists and the impeccable politeness of the staff but also by the technical equipment.

I want to especially note the work of my doctor, who performed an incredibly complex operation and freed me from cancer. I must also mention the interpreter: I am grateful for the accurate and understandable translation of all medical terms and the willingness to help in any situation.

I recommend that everyone who has the opportunity go here for treatment.

I spent almost 2 weeks at the "Ajou" Medical Center, from late January to mid-February 2017.

 I am endlessly grateful to all the staff of the medical center for their sensitivity and high qualifications. Despite being alone, I never felt lonely or scared in Korea.

My attending physician was Dr. Kim Ku Sang, who amazed me from our first meeting with his skill and attentive, friendly attitude.

The coordinator of the international department of "Ajou", Tatyana, did everything to make me comfortable. She quickly dealt with any arising problems and took care of organizational matters: arrival, accommodation, departure.

I was greatly impressed by the attitude of the staff and doctors towards patients, and I also liked the hospital itself. I especially want to thank the coordinators for their support. I don't speak Korean, so they translated all important information into Russian for me.

I contacted hospitals-travel to find a good clinic for stomach cancer treatment. They suggested the Korean clinic Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital. The coordinator helped with hospitalization and was constantly in touch. At the clinic, I successfully underwent surgery. I am currently undergoing a chemotherapy course. I am satisfied with the level of medical care and service. I will recommend the clinic to my acquaintances.

During an examination, my husband was diagnosed with cancer, and at a late stage. The doctors said that surgery was urgently needed, and we decided to contact "Asan."

Despite arriving at night, we were met and taken to the clinic. We were shown our room (there was also a sofa for me), and my husband quickly underwent all the necessary diagnostics before the surgery. The very next morning, he was taken to the operating room. Surprisingly, after a complex surgery, he was not taken to the intensive care unit but was immediately placed in a regular room.

The care is amazing: three meals a day (you can choose European cuisine), a system for automatic painkiller administration, a massager, a comfortable transforming bed, nurses came every hour to check the temperature. Very nice, young, and friendly girls, spreading friendliness.

What else I liked: here they get up on their feet early, as soon as possible after surgery. No one forces you to lie in bed for days, as in Russia. I think this also helped in recovering so quickly and returning home after just a week.
