Just went to the website of the famous BK clinic.
And a blinking title caught my eye. It was a letter from Dr Kim Byung Gun, that famous korean plastic surgeon, to local patients here..
Eh...I have been waiting for Dr Kim to set up his plastic surgery clinic in Singapore this year.
Initially I had plans to do surgery with a local PS surgeon, Dr Hong, around the end of last year. That is when I came to know that Dr Kim is planning to set up a local branch of his clinic this year. And since a famous korean plastic surgeon is coming soon, I may as well have him operate on me.
So I waited and waited and waited. And it seems I have to wait some more as the official governing medical council is taking their own sweet time to approve his applications.
Well, the medical council is made up of members of top local doctors and plastic surgeons.
Dun tell me that they are too afraid of losing their patients to Dr Kim. After all, he is currently the top world famous plastic surgeon. And I can predict that once Dr Kim arrives on our shores in the future, there are going to be a wave of change in the region plastic surgery industry.
As for the option of going to Korea for PS, well, this is not quite the alternative for me. I dun speak the language, dun know the place and I have to fork out 2 air tickets there, not to mention hotel accommodations and food etc.
If I do it here locally, I can save on the air tickets, accommodations etc. That is about 30% to 40% more than if I just do it locally.
Anyway, SO's leave is frozen till Sept 2009 cos he is involved in this VIP project. So I am still waiting....and waiting....and waiting.....
Dr Kim, when are you coming?
Medical council, can you approve his application? Quickly?
Maybe I should just write in to some minister or MP to hasten the approval process.
---------------------------
How are you?
I am Dr. Kim, Byung Gun, the director of BK Dongyang plastic surgery clinic, Korea.
As you already know, I have a plan to open a clinic there in Singapore and I expected I could do it any time soon. Unfortunately, however, I’ve been still waiting for the approval from the Singapore Medical Council.
I already fulfilled all the requirements for the approval to get the medical registration and specialist status in Singapore. I don’t know what’s taking it so long, but it has been delayed by Singapore medical council since last year.
But anyway I respect the decision of Singapore medical council and surgeons’ association. And I will not do any consultation and surgery and meeting with the patients in Singapore without their approval. Until I get the approval of medical council, I will do consultation and surgery only in Korea for all the patients in Singapore.
So, if you can’t wait to have a surgery, please come to my clinic in Korea. Nowadays, there is a promotion that I offer foreigners 20% discount to celebrate a new service in my new building, having you benefit from the change of exchange rate. Also, you can take advantage of free accommodation in my clinic until the post operative treatment is finished (including stitch removal and all the treatment after surgery).
On 1st of March, I had the construction of new BK Building completed, and began to perform surgeries in the 15-story new BK building which is the largest plastic surgery hospital in the world.
Sorry for this delay to do surgeries in Singapore. But I hope you will have a good chance to go sightseeing and shopping and to have a surgery at the same time in Korea. I will do my best to make you feel at home, here.
I and my whole family members are Singapore PR, and I hope I could work for the patients in Singapore and contribute to the development of plastic surgery there.
Once I get the approval in Singapore, I will email you to let you know the details. Before that, if you have any question, just feel free to ask. I will be always here to help you out.
After the approval of Singapore medical council, if you want me to send you my letter to let you know it, please input your email address or contact number to click the button below.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kim, Byung Gun Director and chief, BK Dongyang Plastic Surgery Clinic, Seoul, Korea
