A one-doctor orthopedic practice in Hannam-dong that runs the whole visit in English.
Nucellin sits on the fourth floor of a building in Hannam-dong, on the Yongsan side of Seoul rather than in the Gangnam clinic belt where most of the city's regenerative medicine is clustered. It is a single-doctor practice built around Kim Hee-jun, who spent his hospital years as a clinical professor of joint surgery at Yonsei University Severance Hospital before opening here. The daily work is ordinary orthopedics: ultrasound-guided joint injections, nerve blocks, prolotherapy, shockwave, and supervised rehabilitation for knees, shoulders, backs and feet. The regenerative side sits on top of that rather than replacing it. Kim works with bone marrow and fat-derived mesenchymal cells alongside PRP, for knee osteoarthritis, meniscus wear, tendon injuries, partial ligament sprains and chronic synovitis, and he screens on imaging before agreeing to any of it. Physical therapy, occupational therapy and hyperbaric oxygen are in the same rooms, so rehabilitation is not outsourced to another address. What the clinic is known for among foreign residents and visitors is language. The consultation, the procedure and the follow-up all happen in English, and enquiries come in over WhatsApp rather than a Korean booking system. The site publishes a recovery timeline instead of a before-and-after gallery: swelling settles over the first fortnight, pain usually starts easing between weeks three and six, strength work follows, and whatever improvement is coming has generally arrived by three to six months.

consult to quote
Nothing is published. The clinic quotes after it has looked at your imaging, because the figure moves with which cells are used, how many sites are treated, and whether rehabilitation is bundled in. It tells international patients its pricing is disclosed up front, so get the quote in writing and check it covers the imaging, the procedure and the follow-up visits rather than the injection alone.
Pricing is indicative and set by each clinic. Confirm the final cost directly before treatment.
Individual results vary and are not typical or guaranteed. Case studies and testimonials reflect one person's experience.
Kim Hee-jun
Director
MD, Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon
Kim read medicine at Yonsei University College of Medicine in Sinchon and did his orthopedic residency at Yonsei University Severance Hospital, where he later worked as a clinical professor of joint surgery. He belongs to the Korean Orthopaedic Association, the Korean Arthroscopy Society, the Korean Knee Society, the Korean Shoulder and Elbow Society, the Korean Society for Stem Cell Therapy and the Korean Association for Regenerative Medicine, and has trained through cadaver workshops and international arthroscopy courses. He sees every patient himself, which is the trade-off of a one-doctor clinic: continuity, but a limited diary.
