Qualificações

Tae Kyun Kim is a specialist at the clinic, where knee care is built around a track record described as 16,000 knee surgeries, including 7,000 cases from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. The clinic’s knee program is designed to support patients from diagnosis through surgery and rehabilitation, with careful decision-making about whether surgery is needed now or whether another treatment path fits better. After the operation, recovery is supported by a 51-bed inpatient rehabilitation ward and a long-term “Well-Ageing” system covering nutrition, immunity, and mental health. Kim’s orthopaedic background started in 1992 as a resident at Seoul National University Hospital, and his career includes academic appointments such as Assistant Professor at Hallym University College of Medicine and Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Seoul National University College of Medicine. His international training spans a Clinical Fellowship at the Joint Replacement Center in Louisville, a Sports Medicine fellowship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and a Research Fellowship in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Alongside clinical responsibilities, he has served as a faculty member at Seoul National University Hospital and as a professor at the Joint Center of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
