Eye Surgery Considerations

Wonjin community review

First of all, I think it was a bit better than what I had expected and worried about. The doctor was kind, explained things well, and roughly told me through CT and X-ray how much width I needed to reduce. But one thing that still bothers me is that during the consultation, he suddenly said, “You don’t have any questions, right?” and rushed out of the room, which stayed in my memory. But more than anything, what was a bit absurd was that when I arrived, I had been told over the phone that there would be no consultation fee, but suddenly they said I had to take both an X-ray and CT and asked for 250,000 won. At first they asked for 50,000 won for the X-ray, so I thought, well, that could happen since I’m getting an examination anyway. But then they suddenly changed what they said and said that because I’m someone having revision surgery, I also needed a CT, and the CT was 200,000 won. I felt kind of blindsided then. But I had already paid 50,000 won and taken the X-ray, and I had already taken time out to come for the consultation, so all of a sudden it looked like I’d be spending 250,000 won. Since I was obviously hesitating, they said they’d take off 100,000 won, so I paid 150,000 won and had the exam and consultation. I did feel a bit like I had been taken advantage of. Honestly, they didn’t tell me this from the beginning, and at other hospitals, CT and X-ray together were at most around 30,000 to 50,000 won, so the fact that it was 150,000 won was kind of absurd. Still, the doctor did seem to have a lot of expertise. The consultation was also fairly detailed, and anyway, it is one of the many hospitals I’m keeping in mind.
