Patient Reviews of Treatment Abroad

Everything went well and even great, only it was very expensive. At the "Asan" medical center, doctors provide medical care at a high professional level. The medical staff is attentive to the wishes of patients and their relatives. All procedures are done very well, but they are not cheap.

Our cardiologist, who knew a lot about Korean medicine and especially about this medical center, advised us to contact "Asan." After the surgery, he himself confirmed that it was done perfectly, even better than he expected.

My well-being is now much better: my heart no longer bothers me, and examinations show that there is nothing to worry about.

My husband needed surgery. Of course, stenting could have been done in Russia, but I don't think it would have gone as well as at "Asan." Here, the equipment, doctors, everything is at a very high level. Foreign patients are treated very well—both translators and medical staff supported us with all their might before the surgery. The stenting itself went very well without complications. My husband quickly recovered and was discharged in less than a week. Even the doctors in Russia were impressed by the treatment result!

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.

Doctors were preparing me for surgery to remove a breast tumor, but the prognosis was poor. No one could promise that the surgery would be successful.

This situation did not suit me, and I started looking for alternatives—one of them was found abroad, at the "Asan" clinic. I never regretted my choice: the doctors here are amazing! I was operated on by the world-renowned doctor Kim Yong Tak. After talking with him, I was convinced that his reputation is well-deserved.

Korea itself also impressed me very much! After being here, I realized that I would like to live in this country.
