I was hospitalized and underwent surgery at Gil Medical Center at Gachon University. I am very satisfied with the service—even the ward was comfortable, and the food was delicious and fresh! The medical staff was attentive.

Clinic: Gachon University Gil Hospital
Diagnosis: Tumor removal
I happened to be in Incheon, where I underwent an examination and surgery. During the preliminary examination, most of the medical staff were friendly and polite. Registration and payment were quick and organized, which made the process easier and reduced stress. In the main building, I encountered a strike by some employees, and although the situation is difficult for everyone, I understood their feelings and difficulties. Unlike other university hospitals, this one is very warm and friendly.
I would like to express my respect to all medical workers who are working in the current conditions.
I am updating my review the day after the operation. The nurses at this hospital are very friendly, but most of them are newcomers and young professionals. In the oncology department on the 7th floor, where I was staying, I did not meet any experienced nurses with many years of experience.
Four nurses were unable to insert the IV right away — in the end, I had to have six injections, which left marks on my arms. Replacing the needle after the operation was also difficult, as they searched for a vein for quite a long time.
Patients like me really need experienced nurses with extensive practical experience.
It was difficult and painful for me while they were looking for a suitable vein, tying my arm with a rubber band, and then another nurse came 30 minutes later. Everything was not very coordinated, which was disappointing.

Clinic: Gachon University Gil Hospital
Diagnosis: Radiculopathy
I had a backache. After the consultation, the doctors recommended surgery. Then I went through rehabilitation, and now I feel better and better. The nurses were kind to me. And after two days I was dismissed from the clinic.
