Send your medical records and imaging before making travel arrangements. Dr. Kim reviews your case personally and advises whether an in-person evaluation in Seoul is likely to be worthwhile.
Send available MRI or X-ray images, medical reports, previous treatment history and a brief description of your symptoms.
Dr. Kim reviews whether your condition appears suitable for evaluation or treatment at Nucellin. A detailed diagnosis cannot be confirmed without consultation and examination.
We explain the likely evaluation process, possible treatment options, expected length of stay and an estimated cost.
Appointment scheduling, airport directions and where to stay near the clinic.
At Nucellin Orthopedic Clinic, your consultation, physical examination, imaging review and treatment discussion are conducted directly in English with Dr. Kim.
You do not need an interpreter to explain your symptoms, ask questions or understand the proposed treatment plan.
We usually respond within one business day, Monday to Friday.
Our clinic operates on Korea Standard Time (KST, UTC+9). Response times may be longer on weekends, Korean public holidays or when additional medical review is required.
For reference, Seoul is 1 hour ahead of Singapore, 8–9 hours ahead of London and 13–14 hours ahead of New York. Time differences vary during daylight-saving periods.
Korean public holidays vary each year and are listed on the contact page.
Please send any available MRI or X-ray images as JPG, PDF or DICOM files, or through a secure download link. Please also include relevant medical reports and a short summary of your symptoms, how long they have been present, and any previous treatment or surgery.
The clinic is in Hannam-dong, a residential district in Yongsan-gu close to the city centre, the embassy quarter and Itaewon.
Hannam-dong and neighbouring Itaewon have hotels and serviced residences within a short walk or taxi ride of the clinic, from simple guesthouses to five-star hotels. Because most regenerative treatments are day procedures, patients usually stay wherever suits their trip and come in for appointments. If you would like suggestions for your dates, ask when you enquire.
“I took a nasty fall while on my trip in Seoul and needed to see a doctor. On WhatsApp they were able to get an appointment for me the same day. As an American tourist it can be really stressful but Dr HeeJun Kim and his team were amazing! They provided me a quote, I feel like things were done fairly, friendly, quick, and efficient.”
“Dr. Kim very carefully explained my shoulder issue and the proper steps to take to fix it. The staff was helpful and provided good English service. They use top tier machines for my shock wave therapy and the interior design is very lovely.”
“My third time returning to Nucellin Orthopedics. Dr. Kim takes time to work with me for the best treatment plan. When performing the procedure on me, this doctor was very careful, gentle, and precise. I was very satisfied with the result of my treatment.”
