Medical travel to Korea, led by a doctor — not a broker
Most medical-travel platforms are anonymous middlemen. Curois different: it's led by a practicing Korean physician who puts his own name on it and personally vets every partner hospital — choosing only the ones he would send his own family to. You pay the clinic's own price, with no foreigner markup and no broker fee, and our booking is free.
Founder
Dr. Jongseok Park
Board-certified psychiatrist · 17 years in clinical practice
Dr. Park has spent his career inside Korea's top academic hospitals. He built Curo so that patients abroad get the same honest guidance he gives his own patients — a doctor deciding which hospital fits your case, not a commission-driven referral.
