Why is he not replying!!

His next available appointment isn't until January 2024 so he probably is focusing more on his domestic patients than international patients. He drastically increased the cost of his surgery procedure but he still has a large following in Korea since he's one of the best/known LL surgeons in the world.

Wow price gouging foreigners and drastically increasing the price? Is there any other doctor thats not a quack other than Dr Lee and Parihar that does a good job of LON tibias? At this rate i’ll never be able to afford Dr Lee’s prices

I think you can give Halil Buldu a try?

Yeah, I wouldn't go with a doctor who doesn't have at least a decade or more of transparent experience.

Anyone has his updated pricing?

JJ299 · « **Reply #38 on:** April 03, 2022, 11:55:28 AM »

His Korean price got updated January 2022:

LON = 44,500,000 won or ~36k USD

Precice Tibia = 88,000,000 won or ~72k USD

Precice Femur = 83,700,000 won or ~68k USD

Overall his 2022 price got increased by ~8k USD compared to 2019. I am not sure if he increased the price for foreign patients since I heard in these forums he usually charge 10k+ USD for non-Korean nationals.

from what ive heard its not necessarily him charging more but rather a duty placed by the government
i heard you get it back when you leave the country but i could be wrong

JJ299 · « **Reply #40 on:** May 02, 2022, 04:29:30 PM »

It could be but the foreign 2019 price ( doesn't include the 10%) is basically the same as the current Korean price which he updated back in late Dec 2021 ( there was a 8k~ price change ). I am not sure if Dr. Lee just increased the Korean price to match the foreign price or if he just increased both of them at the same time , but I could say that the prices for the Japanese patients are the same as Korean patientsl. This could still be different for English speaking patients located primarily in the west though.

You're correct. It's a short process but you have to get a tax free receipt at the hospital. Then on the day of your departure, you'll go to a kiosk at the airport to get a voucher which you can exchange for cash before you leave Korea. You can read more about it here.

You may simply call the contact number on his website via Skype. I believe this is the most optimal way to contact his office.

Harry1309 · « **Reply #52 on:** December 24, 2022, 05:00:09 AM »

Yeah he is booked till then and maybe even later is what I was told, thats why I am considering Dr Metin Kucukkaya in Istanbul who is just as good.

2019 Cost List of Limb Lengthening

This is the latest price list I received. They also have an English speaker so email or check out their website for further information about limb lengthening: https://drdonghoon.com/limb-lengthening-center/?lang=en

Donghoon Advanced Lengthening Reconstruction Institute
Phone: +82-31-626-0011
E-mail: info@drdonghoon.com
Address: Superstar Tower 3-5F, 10, Wiryeseoil-ro, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea

Donghoon et al. ERC should (obviously) be included at the price given that NuVasive (Bijan et al.) includes this alongside the nail(s) when a PO is made. Returning the ERC back to NuVasive when the patient returns to their home country via prepaid mail (FedEx / DHL) is a streamlined process (650-465-0590). MJS.

You've seen him operate? Can you link us to any recent case reports at reputable journals that might have influenced your statements?

sphenopetroclival · « **Reply #58 on:** May 24, 2023, 07:28:29 PM »

Donghoon would strongly consider submitting these cases (https://dalribeforeandafterdrdonghoon.web-dream.co.kr/) for rigorous peer review. Gathering more comprehensive data on these patients and publishing at a reputable journal, specifically at the form of case studies, would greatly enhance the clinical utility for other physicians and prospective patients. Presenting the data on a personal website or repository with limited case information would restrict its potential impact and limit its value in the medical community and patients alike. Papers published in (reputable) journals are reviewed by other physicians (peer review), which usually makes it considerably more difficult to publish a paper there. Having case reports that haven't been peer reviewed at a personal repository (website) only shows that one is confident enough to share their work.

Anyone as good. as DR Donghoon Lee and similar price in south korea?

Dear LL Forum,

I am interested in doing my LL surgery with Dr Donghoon Lee in South Korea but have been unable to contact him or his team for an initial consultation. I have sent a message through the official whatsapp, wechat, email but to no avail. Can anyone who has successfully been in contact with his team give me some advice? I am willing to travel to korea this summer for a physical consultation as well.

KR,
Justin

Short King · « **Reply #61 on:** June 10, 2023, 02:40:40 AM »

This is Dr Donghoon's latest pricing for 2023. It seems they do not offer long term hospital stay anymore due to an influx in patients which is a shame
