I am extremely pleased to have found Gangnam JS Hospital. I underwent their stem cell-based cartilage regeneration and leg realignment procedures for my right knee a little more than a year ago. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made..I came back this year to remove the plate and screws from the leg realignment and continue my journey back to athletic mobility. All of my surgeries were very successful and I have experienced minimal pain during most of my post surgical recovery and therapy, Both Dr. Song, cartilage regeneration surgery, and Dr. Kim, realignment surgery, really care about their patients and are great. We reviewed my post surgical images and my cartilage regeneration looks amazing after just one year. I highly recommend this treatment. All of Gangnam JS doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and remaining staff are very attentive, professional, and very kind. Most of the staff can, at least, speak Korean and English so communication was not too difficult. The hospital also retains an exceptional medical translation team led by Kaiser that can assist with English, Russian, and probably several other languages. Prior to my surgeries, I was struggling with mobility and was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis in my right knee. I received a cortisone shot, a gel injection, and had many sessions of physical therapy to relieve pain and to strengthen the muscles around my knee. I was told that the only option I had for improvement was to continue this treatment until I received a knee replacement. I was not interested in a knee replacement at 52 years old so I opted to undergo this alternative treatment. I am overloaded pleased with my decision and outcome and advocate for this treatment.

I chose Gangnam JS Hospital after a knee injury, when I needed a complex surgery to fully restore the function of my knee. This involved not only an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) replacement, but also stem cell treatment to regenerate cartilage in two small areas of my knee that had been damaged during the five months I continued training with a torn ACL (on my Swedish doctor’s advice…😏) And I had a truly excellent experience at this hospital, everything was beyond my expectations. My room was spacious, well-equipped and very comfortable. The food was simply delicious and varied. Their rehabilitation program is very effective. Manual and physical therapy were just two of the five treatments I received every day. As a result, I was almost completely pain-free just two weeks after my surgery… I’m so grateful for all that exceptional care I received from the entire hospital team! They were and still are incredibly attentive and responsive, they stood by my side day and night, providing me with constant support. That made my recovery smoother, easier and much more comfortable than I could ever have expected or imagined. Thank you for everything, my dear friends 🙌🏻♥️!

Exceptional Care and Remarkable Efficiency at Gangnam JS Hospital! After struggling with chronic neck and shoulder pain in the U.S. for an extended period, I decided to seek treatment during my visit to Korea and chose Gangnam JS Hospital. I am extremely pleased with my decision. From the moment I arrived, the doctor took considerable time to thoroughly explain my condition, the underlying causes of my pain, and a clearly outlined treatment plan. The depth of the consultation gave me a tremendous sense of confidence and reassurance—something I had not experienced in previous medical visits. What impressed me most was the remarkable accessibility and efficiency of their medical system. I was able to complete my MRI scan, physician consultation, and treatment all within a single hour. This level of streamlined, integrated care is truly exceptional and stands in stark contrast to the long wait times and fragmented appointments I had grown accustomed to. The staff were warm, attentive, and professional throughout my entire visit, and the hospital's overall operations reflected a high standard of organization and expertise. For anyone considering treatment for neck, shoulder, or spine-related conditions—whether local or traveling from abroad—I wholeheartedly recommend Gangnam JS Hospital. The combination of expert medical care, clear communication, and efficient service made my experience truly outstanding

I visited this hospital due to chronic knee pain that had recently worsened. As a foreigner, everything went very smoothly thanks to a professional interpreter, with no communication issues at all. Compared to Germany, I was impressed by how fast and seamless the whole process was — quick admission, thorough examination, and a clear diagnosis. Staff were very friendly and even gave a short tour of the hospital. I didn’t have time to complete full treatment, but I will likely return to continue it, as both the medical expertise and the attitude toward patients impressed me a lot.

My fiance has had two surgeries here, initially for knee stem cell transplant and stabilization and then subsequently a year later to remove stabilizers and perform a bone marrow transplant. The recovery from both surgeries has been very smooth with minimal pain and the staff here has treated us like family. Furthermore the MRI a year later shows magnificent new cartilage growth on the tibial plateau and the back of the patella an amazing accomplishment coming from a country with the only viable alternative being a total knee replacement. Thank you to all the staff, nurses, doctors, crew and translators. You’ve greatly improved both of our quality of life and allowed us to return to nearly full exercise and provided us with memorable experiences and cutting edge technology!
