Explanation

It has been a pleasure to meet Mr Yoon, from the 1st consultation his personality and demeanour allowed me to explain the problem and history fully. 6 weeks after my lumbar decompression revision, I am pain free, sleeping well and able to resume excercise in accordance with my physio. I feel very lucky to have met Mr Yoon.

Explanation

Mr Yoon performed a caudal epidural on me to relieve chronic pain down my left leg. The procedure was arranged and performed in a short period of time and on the day Mr Yoon was mindful of the distance we had travelled to attend the appointment. Every member of staff working alongside him acted in a kind and professional manner. Mr Yoon offers individualised care and allows plenty of time to explain what will/has happened.The outcome was really positive. I always feel well informed and looked after under his care. He also has the most outstanding secretary working alongside him, who always goes above and beyond.
