Mr. Yoon was very professional yet easy to talk to. He had already reviewed my MRI and referral information before I even entered his office. That may seem like a small detail, but to me, it showed a genuine level of care and preparation. My ongoing care has now been appropriately referred, and I am currently moving forward in that next stage of the journey.

Following a prompt diagnosis by Mr Yoon I was kept fully informed by his fabulous PA. Friendly, efficient and caring Suzanne was of great support throughout. The procedure provided instant relief and during my recovery the team continued to be in contact and supportive. I highly recommend Mr Yoon and the team and thank them for making such a positive impact on my wellbeing.
