1. Hospital Selection
1.1 Visiting 5 Hospitals
• Criteria: 1 director + nose specialty hospital + rating
• List: Cocoline, Cowon, Conopy, Revens, Enplus
• Values: Naturalness + Safety First (Side Effects)
1.2 7 Reasons for Choosing Cowon
• Questions about surgical methods and number of surgeries were similar at all hospitals, so there was no point in visiting more.
• Reason 1: The price was right. (2 places: late 400s, 1 place: late 300s, 2 places: early 300s)
• Reason 2: I had to set a surgery date in a hurry due to personal circumstances, but they were flexible. (Other places cannot modify the surgery schedule for next week if you fix it the week before)
• Reason 3: It was novel that the director took a picture and photoshopped it on the spot. He seemed like someone who is constantly striving for improvement.
• Reason 4: The low deposit (50,000 won) made me feel confident that they are attracting patients through fair competition. (Other hospitals: same-day discount system, reservation fee 20-30)
• Reason 5: Since CCTV viewing is possible, I felt confident in this part as well. (Other hospitals: viewing x or none)
• Reason 6: The hospital had the most patients among the ones I visited. (Patients receiving treatment with a splint/ 2 PM at the time)
• Reason 7: The head of the consultation room clearly stated the price from the beginning. (Event x 385, Event x - card 330, Event x - cash 300) (At other hospitals, the price fluctuations were severe the more I bargained like at a sushi restaurant, and I also had suspicions that the head of the consultation room was setting the price arbitrarily)
1.3 Overall opinion
• If you are looking for a restaurant like Gyeongridan-gil Omakase by a chef from a hotel, rather than a large franchise restaurant, I recommend Cowon.
