Care Philosophy
We think carefully about the treatment that best fits each patient.
I began my undergraduate studies at Seoul National University, pursued a doctoral program in rehabilitation engineering at KAIST, and completed advanced upper-extremity fellowship training in shoulder and hand surgery at Samsung Medical Center.
I then built several years of clinical experience at general and specialty hospitals, performing more than 5,000 surgeries and non-surgical procedures. Through that work, I learned that even for the same condition, the most appropriate treatment should differ according to each patient's health, circumstances, and daily life.
At Samsung S Orthopedic Clinic, I will draw on the experience I have built and the care philosophy I have established to help patients move toward healthier everyday lives and a better tomorrow.
Samsung S Orthopedic Clinic pursues the following three values.
First Value
Exercise Therapy Tailored to Each Patient
Even when patients have the same condition, the cause of pain and their physical condition can differ from person to person.
Exercise therapy should therefore be tailored to each person's condition and stage of recovery.
At Samsung S Orthopedic Clinic, we prescribe the exercises each patient needs, guide them in performing those exercises correctly, and stay with them throughout the recovery process.
Second Value
Personalized Treatment Based on an Accurate Diagnosis
Samsung S Orthopedic Clinic selects the treatment most appropriate for each patient based on an accurate diagnosis.
We will neither insist on non-surgical care alone nor recommend surgery first. When recovery is possible through non-surgical care, we will provide sufficient treatment; when surgery is needed, we will explain this clearly so that the right timing is not missed.
Third Value
Care with Sincerity
We will explain your current condition and treatment plan step by step in clear language so that you can fully understand them.
We will pay attention to your discomfort first and aim to be the physician who thinks through each decision with you until the end of your treatment.
Samsung S Orthopedic Clinic will be a dependable partner in building a healthier life with you.
