enf782 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Aw that's a nice question. I never actually thought of that. My guess is that most people dont since they'd be thanking someone for having done their surgery when they're the one who paid 5-grand for it to begin with. Having that said, I know that some docs are uncomfortable with gifts even if it's something small and handmade. :S But if you do decide do give them something small and appropriate like a card... there's no harm. =) It's a lovely gesture. It can certainly make a doctor's day... particularly if s/he rarely gets things like that. It's reassuring for them as a doctor. Like saying... "You're doing a good job and I appreciate the work you do. What you're doing is meaningful/ valuable." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enf782 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I think that people needn't worry so much about carrying out kind, well-intended gestures. We can't control or predict 100% of the time how others will respond. The most we can do is to do what we feel in our heart is right.

gats Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Tipping isn't part of Korean culture, so gifts aren't expected or required. What they'd likely appreciate the most is if you post a good review to drive their business. If they did go out of their way in their care for you so much so you want to thank them, I'd have a bunch of pastries or what not delivered for their staff to enjoy together.

dailyjubes87 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 i agreee tipping isnt a part of their culture, so they dont expect it. However, gifting is. offering a small gift when entering someones home or meeting someone of higher rank. Its common to offer a small gift. That being said, a hand written card or small gift is a lovely gesture. But anyone who receives a hand written card would be touched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygjiope Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I agree. No matter who you are, a hand written card or note is always sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enf782 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Only if it's genuine. If you only wrote it cause you felt obligated to or something, then yeah..... idk. Thats another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsamemario Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I got my surgeons a box of cookies from my home country. They seemed appreciative but tbh I found it kinda awkward to give it to them, so I just personally wouldn't do it again haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
