Does anyone know of a good chiropractor (or failing that, good physiotherapist) in Ulsan who can at least speak reasonable English? FYI, it's for husband with...

There is a hospital opposite the KBS centre near the Seattle Coffee shop-허리 디스크, or something along those lines (Its the one advertised on all the taxis) I went there a couple of years ago and his English is perfect.

Thanks Rich. I'm fairly new to Ulsan and don't know either KBS centre of Seattle Coffee shop - what area of Ulsan are these in? Do you know the street name?

I was curious and I did a search according to Rich Morgan's information. There is a hospital that specializes in it in the large "Amunity" apartments across from the KBS hall and art center. Seattle Coffee shop is in the next large buildings call "Starclass" and there is a large hopsital near there called "Ulsan Hospital" I am not sure which one rich went to but to get there you stay on the samsan-side of the river and it is close to the Namgu office and you'll spot the location because there are some of the tallest building in the samsandong/daldong right before you cross the bridge to seungnamdong http://dmaps.kr/ebd9

Hi sabrina caverly... Not sure if you're only looking for a chiropractor or a doctor in general. Dr Park at Park Hospital near old downtown speaks very good English. the hospital details and location should be on ulsan online if you search there but if you have any problems message me and I can get the hospital coordinates for u... Theres also an orthopedic doctor at my local hospital in hogyedong at 21st century hospital. his english is not as good as dr park but is good enuf... both hospitals also have physiotherapists there I am not sure about chiropractitioners... Another thing you may want to bear in mind is as hospitals are private here the costs may differ from hospital to hospital. Good luck.

UPDATE: I went to Woori Hospital this morning and met with Dr. Kwon. After previously visiting two other hospitals, I can confidently say that Woori Hospital was excellent and Dr. Kwon was superb! His English was perfect and was very thorough in his explanations. I highly recommend Dr. Kwon at Ulsan Woori Hospital for any back issues!
Sabrina A. replied:
Meagan, I had a consultation and physical therapy. I am not in need of chiropractic adjustments. Woori Hospital is a spine hospital, so I'm sure that chiropractic and physiotherapy are located there. Again, his English is perfect (he is from Chicago) so he is able to help you 100% and is very friendly.

Hi. My husband and I were married before we came to Ulsan and have been here for 4 years. We started with EPIK and now teach at Pusan National University. We had our first daughter here 2 years ago and are expecting our second next month. In short, it is totally doable to create a life for a family here and work your way up to a university job that offers really low working hours and long vacations, both of which are great for raising a family with young children. The Ulsan Parent's Club meets once a month or so for get togethers and is a great source of information for expat families.
I would like to confirm for sure: are employers required by law to supply medical insurance for foreigners? My company tells me that the Korean co-teachers need to be...
