    About clinic

    Founded in 1982, Wooridul Hospital has dedicated more than 40 years to the treatment of spinal disorders and has earned a worldwide reputation in this field. Wooridul Hospital operates a network of five hospitals in Korea and two hospitals in the UAE, located in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

    In addition to treating domestic patients, Wooridul Hospital operates a specialized International Patient Center to support international patients. For the past 20 years, the Wooridul International Patient Center has provided high-quality, personalized services to more than 30,300 patients from around the world. Our services include remote pre-consultations, interpretation services, appointment coordination, and comprehensive patient support.

    Based on our treatment philosophy of “Love and Respect for Humanity,” we prioritize each patient’s culture and individual needs during their stay in Korea.

    These achievements have been made possible by Wooridul Hospital’s continuous pursuit of minimally invasive spine surgery, driven by innovation and dedication. By preserving normal tissue as much as possible and minimizing surgical scars, we have developed and advanced medical techniques that improve treatment success rates while reducing complications and shortening recovery time.

    Through these efforts, Wooridul Hospital has successfully become a global leader in spinal healthcare, earning the trust and recognition of both domestic and international patients as well as the global medical community.
