[En] Medical Korea - Wooridul Spine Hospital: South African Patient Interview

http://www.wooridul.com/ Jack Edkins from Durban South Africa tells us about his experience at Wooridul Spine Hospital. Jack Edkins came from South Africa due to a severe herniation that caused pain on his back. He consulted a surgeon who told him he needed cervical surgery with fusion. As Mr. Edkins was not fond of having fusion, he started looking for alternatives. He contacted two other doctors in South Africa with no luck, so he also for neurosurgeons abroad in France, Florida, LA, Vermont, London and after much research he found Wooridul Spine Hospital. He decided to come to Korea because of the quality of the services, which are designed to minimize inconveniences experienced by the patient (one stop shop) and are very professional. The doctor was not only highly-qualified, but was also amongst the few people who had vast experience with the procedure PECD (percutaneous endoscopic cervical disectomy).
