Since 1993, Wooridul Spine Hospital initiating conference and long/Short-Term training program for spine specialist from all over the world.

Participating Countries Countries
Participant Doctors Doctors
A top-notch doctor can cure 1,000 to 3,000 patients for the rest of his or her life, and even if they work hard, less than 5,000.patients.
So, I gave up my patent right and try to transfer my spine surgery technique to more than 100 doctors a year.
If I keep this surgery technique only for myself, maybe Wooridul Spine Hospital can go a better direction, but instead, patients are to be suffered. Knowledge is to share, not to possess.

I came to Wooridul Spine Hospital as a fellow. During my stay, I developed burning pain in my arms, legs, and feet. Because I trusted the hospital, I chose to have surgery here. The procedure was successful, and my symptoms have completely resolved. I truly recommend Wooridul Spine Hospital as both a surgeon and a patient.

In Wooridul in Korea the main difference in treatment between the rest of the world is here the doctors care much more about how they can treat the patient with doing them less harm. I would strongly recommend Wooridul Hospital to other people.

In fact, I am already a well-known endoscopic spine surgeon in the United States. However, compared to the endoscopic techniques used at Wooridul Spine Hospital in Korea, the procedures performed in the U.S. are still in their infancy.
