Dr. Hun Jong Dhong

Professional background

Professional background

He earned medical and doctoral degrees at Seoul National University and completed otolaryngology residency and fellowship training at Seoul National University Hospital.

His background includes a fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, a visiting-scholar role at Cleveland Clinic and academic or leadership appointments at Samsung Seoul Hospital and Sungkyunkwan University.

Clinical discussion

Patients with persistent nasal symptoms should describe the pattern of obstruction, discharge, allergy symptoms and previous treatment. The assessment should distinguish conditions that require different medical or surgical approaches.

Bring prior imaging and operative notes if available. Ask how the diagnosis is established, what nonsurgical treatment remains appropriate and what benefit an operation is expected to provide. Confirm postoperative care and follow-up arrangements before planning international travel.

Clinical interests

Discussing your priorities with Dr. Hun Jong Dhong

Describe breathing, hearing, voice, sleep or sinus symptoms separately, including how they affect daily life. Functional problems may need a different assessment from cosmetic concerns. Ask which findings support the diagnosis and what can be tried before a procedure.

Bring previous scans, hearing tests or operation reports when available. Discuss recovery in relation to speaking, eating, pressure changes and travel, and ask for an individualized follow-up plan.

Make the consultation useful

Before meeting Dr. Hun Jong Dhong, write down your main concern, how long it has affected you, what you have already tried and what a worthwhile improvement would mean in everyday life. Bring relevant clinical records and a list of medicines, supplements and allergies. If you have had earlier treatment, include the dates and any complications.

• Which findings explain the symptoms?
• What nonsurgical options are appropriate?
• How will the procedure affect breathing, hearing or voice?
• When can I resume normal activity and travel?

Ask the doctor to explain the reasoning behind the proposed plan, including alternatives and the option of not proceeding. Confirm who will perform the treatment, who will review your recovery and how to obtain help outside the planned visits. For care abroad, discuss the follow-up arrangements before paying for treatment or booking a return flight.
