Before the appointment
Start with a short account of the problem
To arrange orthopedic care in Seoul, contact Nucellin with the area that hurts, when it started and how it affects your activities. Include any recent injury, earlier diagnosis and treatment already tried. If you have limited time in Korea, add your arrival and departure dates.
You can send existing medical reports or imaging for preliminary review. This helps the clinic discuss the likely assessment process and appointment arrangements. It does not establish a diagnosis or mean a particular treatment has been agreed.

Costs and timing
Separate assessment from the treatment decision
Your first visit may lead to advice, further tests or a proposed treatment plan. Consultation and imaging costs are different from the price of a procedure or a course of rehabilitation. Ask what is included in an estimate and what would require a separate decision.
If you are visiting Korea, discuss the time needed for assessment, treatment and review before fixing travel plans around a procedure. The required schedule depends on the diagnosis and the proposed care. A confirmed appointment does not confirm that treatment can be completed during a short stay.
Nucellin is on the fourth floor at 71 Dokseodang-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Share the building address with your driver and use the contact page to check clinic hours before setting out.
Contact the clinic first to check availability and the most appropriate appointment arrangement. Do not assume that a particular same-day time is available.
Should I book an MRI before the visit?
Bring existing imaging if you have it. An MRI is not required for every visit; the doctor will explain whether additional imaging is needed.
