Treatment and diagnostics for abroad

I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the hip joint. Otherwise known as coxarthrosis. In my city, there were no hospitals providing high-quality medical services, so for the operation I preferred to turn to specialists. I was recommended intermediaries, the company Hospitals travel, to find a suitable clinic. After the operation at the clinic, I underwent rehabilitation, now I can walk without a cane and walk independently. Thank you to the managers who organized my trip. However, I was not entirely satisfied with the work of the coordinators on site. I did not like Lydia's attitude to work at all.

Domestic doctors issued a verdict: the hip joint needs to be replaced. With this problem, I contacted the service. They offered me several clinics specializing in hip replacement to choose from. I chose «LIV DENTAL CLINIC». Upon arrival, I was met by a coordinating doctor who accompanied me during the examination and treatment. He helped in communication with the local doctors. I am waiting for the operation and hope for recovery.

Very good service. They helped me choose a clinic and organize everything. I didn't try to save money. I wanted everything to be at the highest level. And that's how it turned out. The move, airport transfer. Stay at the clinic, communication in English was very helpful. The surgery went well. I am confident that the joint will take root and I will be able to walk without pain again, like before the illness. Thank you all once again. I recommend it.

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.
