After giving birth, my back started to hurt from watching idols, so I went for my first treatment. I was treated by Director Hwang Sang-won, and his explanations were concise and easy to understand. He spoke to me so clearly about my concerns about breastfeeding, so I received treatment without any worries. I hope to continue visiting him in the future.

I developed a cyst on my foot and had surgery. Dr. Joo Sung-hoon performed a thorough surgical procedure on the complex, spread cysts, and they're healing beautifully. I was so scared during the surgery, but the nurses and doctors were so kind and helpful, so everything went smoothly. The nurses were also incredibly kind. I'm so happy to be able to wear sneakers :)

#Yeokchon-dong Hospital #Eunpyeong Lead Hill Hospital #Yeokchon Lead Hill Hospital #Eungam Station Exit 3 Hospital #Orthopedic Surgery Specialist #Neurosurgery Specialist #Director Hwang Sang-won #Hospital with Excellent Surgery I called my mother to check up on her, and she said she was having surgery. She said she was having a minor surgery at Eunpyeong Lead Hill Hospital, where I've been going for a while. So, I visited her with my daughter this afternoon, and the surgery went well. Director Hwang Sang-won performed the surgery himself, and the results were good. I checked in with her and left the hospital. This seems like a friendly and skilled hospital.

I didn't have much confidence in my local hospital, so I ended up receiving treatment there. However, it reaffirmed the importance of choice. The friendly and proactive treatment method made me feel like half of my illness had already been cured, making my hospital stay feel easier.
