Customer Reviews

"Best doctors and international clinic in korea hands down."
"Awful emergency room experience as a foreigner; one star is generous. Horrendous wait, only to have my concerns utterly dismissed by the rudest doctor I have ever spoken to, and that says a lot coming from the United States. I made the mistake of going back, and they refused to admit me as I wasn’t actively dying, despite having a referral for suspected pulmonary embolism following a 15-hour flight and elevated D-dimer levels. Don’t make the same mistake as me. Go to the nearby Seoul Red Cross Hospital instead - far quicker, cheaper, and has doctors who genuinely care about your health."
"Very nice hospital. My brother was born here and everyone was so nice. They treated my mom very well and she said it was a good hospital which she was nervous about since we’re American and have never been to a hospital in another country."
"I don't want to be part of your research and you are supposed to clarify the doctor's specialty before entering for chest pain only and she didnt help she wanted evrey thing for her to start her Her research and she was recoding and She was recording and violating a patient's right. and I also asked for payment in dollars before entering but you want to use me for your research without my permission!? By what right do you have to get out of my life? I do not want and I did not allow and I will not allow until the day I die to be used as a medical research tool or experiments. Do not put your pharmaceutical experiments in my medications or even my food or vitamins. Stay away from me and my life. Where is the patient privacy right in this hospital"
"One Sunday, I went to the nearby Seoul National University Hospital because I had had a bladder infection for 2 days, which unfortunately got worse, so I was peeing pure blood every 10 minutes. I was sent to the emergency room, where the first thing I was given was a letter. In it, I was informed that the admission alone would cost me 700,000 won (approx. 500$) and further stab dart treatments another 1,000,000 won (approx. 700$)!!!! This is an absolute rip-off and exploitation of foreigners!!! Since my life didn't depend on it, I left the hospital again, endured the pain and waited for Monday until everything was open again. I then went to a specialist. There I paid a total of about 20$ for the examination AND the medication! That bears no relation to what the hospital charged! If your life doesn't depend on it, don't go to this hospital and don't support this discrimination."
