Thank for sharing.
It is very sad to know that some doctors are taking advantage non-english speaking Patients.
These Patients have difficulty to understand what contract they signed, the full cost surgery cost and etc.

You mentioned you did the consultation and felt a lot of cost was not clear or transparent to you.
Why did you still go ahead with this surgery in Korea?

There are good and experienced LL Surgeons if you do your proper research and reading.
Always go to the doctors with good track records.








Why

[shi]

They pretend we are good facility, hide some things very expensive PT, barbaric attitude for patients,etc

[Barishe]

Hello Shi, I hope you are well at the moment, and that you have not had any health complications.
Money doesn't matter , As long as you are well

[markr09]

Are you already in consolidation atleast so you can focus on recovery? I hope it goes well for you.

Also curious, are there no lengthening doctors in Japan? I thought Japan had Hiroyuki, or did he just do studies for them but never really offered any medical surgeries?

This is one of the three major clinics that perform CLL in Korea.
Not just foreigners but a lot of Koreans also go to that clinic to get CLL done every year. Wow this is a surprise.
Hope that more people who wants to do the surgery there see this.
Anyways, I am very sorry to hear your situation and I didn't expect things like this are happening in that clinic.
Do you still have the rods inside the femurs? If so, I know it sucks but I recommend just staying in that clinic
until the rods are pulled out. This is because doctors, in general, do not like to operate on works done by other doctors.
Try to work something out and be calm and polite until the rods are taken out.
After that, you can think about how to get back at them.

Makes it less likely then I'd consider going to any other doctors in SK other than Donhoon Lee. Not being able to speak Korean is already hard thing to deal with, not being able to even communicate for help in a country full of strangers is just not worth the risk if I ever would do it in Korea.

[shi]

baisically ,there are so many skiLL Forumul ortopedic doctors,but there dislike CLL and never do.
so we japanease have to go aboroad to do CLL.
This is why i went to korea

Where are you located? If you are located in the US, just do the surgery in the US.
If you are located in Japan or China, then maybe Korea is an option.

FYI Donghoon Lee (DHL) is a superb doctor. He was initally my first choice, I even had a consultation with him.
However, the problem with DHL's clinic is that the clinic no longer offers package that includes long-term hospital stays
and rents near his clinic are outrageously high. Prepare to pay a lot of money if you are going to do the surgery with DHL
because rents are very high and as @shi mentioned Korean CLL clinics are not very transparent about the cost.

Also, for a foreigner who doesn't speak a word of Korean and doesn't have a permanent resident card,
its going to be tough to get through the recovery phase in Korea.

the pinsite fractures x-ray is below

they dont les me know this things and contunue to ignore my asking.
and they threat me to accuse in court for my diary.

[a9284850]

Which twitter inspire you to go to KC? Thank～

[shi]

Recently　they start to do discount promotion.
I guess they up to make up  for  decrease international patients due to my experience.
I know other patients who do same clinic also claim them about expesive PT.

[a9284850]

Have more twitter about KC？I just find 2 twitter about KC@@

[shi]

I claimed them about shortening leghtening amount and pin-site fracuter,
but they only told me if you have claim for us, you ask lawer.
They know foregien patients can not do legal action,so
this is why they want to take intertnational patients.

[shi]

When they were up to beat me,my also came with me from japan
They ordered my father to go other area to prvent me from my fathers rescue.
They did violence me planndely.

Are you fully recovered, walking with new height?
Are you happy and confident with new status?
if yes, i think you should move on, not looking back.
Having said so, it is good to share and let the future naive potential patients know.

[shi]

Now　my femur has consolidated so I can walk normally.
and so far There is no problem except pin-site fracture.
recetly I have finded out it ,I request them, when it happeneded.
But they continue to ignore my request.

[Beemer m3]

request for antibiotics if you are having any kind of infection. squeeze out the infection .

[shi]

I had had  frameroval about 6months ago.
I dont have infection now.
But during I had been have extenal frame, due to barbaric PT
my pin-site is always bleeding, so they expose me to risk
of infection.

[shi]

Recently　I called medical　korea which is facilietae,who manage korean hospital.
and ask them to my reply about pin-site fracture and leghening amount.
But they tell a lie ,we can not long in LINE and can not reply.
even to 3rd korean party.

[shi]

Between japan and korea have serious historical and political problem.
So we hate each other, but some of japanease patients have to go korea
to do CLL because it is very close and easy to go.
I guess the clerk shin who did violent me dont like japanease.
They trap japanease patients and hostage frame removal.

[shi]

Even　I calimed　them the PT is so painful, They suffocate me
and continue to PT.
After turned out pin-site fracture,
they start to neglect my text.
They take advatage of foregein patients can not sue in korea.

Hi Shi.  How are you doing now?  I have been reading your post, and I am sorry for your experience at that clinic. I am actually doing research on where to go to get limb lengthening surgery in Korea. Yonsei Kim is one of the places I am researching. I am also researching on Dr. Lee and Dr. Im.  Like you have said, Yonsei Kim is offering a promotional discount. But, after reading from your experience, I am thinking twice before I let do surgery on me.  Anyways, thanks for the post.

[lucindaris]

What kind of discount

[shi]

I dont deny If you want to going yonsei kim & chung orthopedic clinic .
Takeing adavantga  of discount promotion.
But becareful your privacy will be expose 100percent.

[shi]

[shi]

[shi]

This is their answer to my question
Hello,

We will be happy to provide a copy of x-rays, but because of our hospital policy, you would need to come to the clinic to get the copy. We can’t send it via email.

Also, when you come to the clinic, Dr. Chung will answer the questions you have regarding the final length. You can take pictures of your final length as well.

Best,
Yumi

[shi]

[Johnjohn2024]

Hello Shi. How are you? I hope you are recovering well. After researching limb length centers in Korea, I am down to Dr. Im's Newborn clinic and Dr. Chung's Yonsei Kim. Dr. Lee is too expensive for me.  Would you go to Dr. Chung again? or would you go somewhere else like Dr. Im? 

The experience you had at Dr. Chung was all bad and all negative?  how was the staff? how was the food? how was the PT?  How was the accommodation?
Also, what was your total gained cm length? Did you do just tibia or femur or both?   

Anyways, thank you very much and have a great day.

[Beemer m3]
