| I recommend the ortheopedic clinic at Inha University Hospital in Inchon. Ask for an English speaking dr. There are several in the department who are quite fluent. The rest speak enough to be understood. |

Is Bundang too far to travel ? There is an excellent one located in the building behind the Seohyun bus stop -above the outback restaurant near Seohyun Station - first stop off the expressway - and lots of fast buses come this way.
It is about 20 minutes from Hanam village (across the street from Hanam supermarket) or 30 minutes from the Jongno YMCA. Buses 9401, 9001, 5500-1, 1005-1 among others get you there.
My previous co-worker tore is ACL playing rugby and had it fixed there (surgury) and he was very happy with the outcome and back to rugby again.

Consult should be 3000-5000 won if you have insurance.
Surgery price ... depends on what is wrong, how long is the operation and how long you spend in the hospital and rehab after.
My co-worker paid about 2 million all up for his ACL repair and rehab/physio therapy.
Price included a week in hospital and a couple months of DAILY physio. |

cool, hopefully it won't be that much, it's just prolonged discomfort after running around on it for a while and doing squats,etc , i've had a little pain for a few years now and it's gotten noticeably worse, so i just wanna get it seen to before I have to get a reconstruction.
