I've been here for 2 separate reasons. The first time for immunizations/malaria pills for an extended trip to sub-saharan Africa. It was the closest place to get the shots and I was pleased. The doctor met with me and we discussed what was prudent. The nurse who gave the injections was good, and the malaria pills had no unwanted side-affects. The second time was following surgery in the USA for a shattered elbow. I knew once back in Korea I would need follow-up care, and also future surgery (as I had a huge plate and 8 screws). My surgeon 신현대 came recommended by another doctor friend. We had initial follow-ups and finally my surgery when it was possible, 6 months after the accident and initial surgery in the USA. (I did have to have a referral to be admitted the first time, but this was easily gotten in a small clinic where I live.) I was pleased with all of the work done here, and even my 3 day stay/surgery. There is limited English in the hospital and in bloodwork/radiology, but give yourself time and whatever your Korean, someone will make sure you are in the right place! My surgeons' English was excellent, and the rest acceptable. The nursing staff and support team (including translator) made sure I understood everything and was comfortable. Minor complications were taken care of, and I would highly recommend this hospital. It's 40 minutes from my home, but worth the travel.

If you are a foreigner, I would not recommend to go there. I have been there after cutting my eyebrow while playing basketball and explained it to them, even though, they made me go through CT which costed me 700.000 ₩. As it was my first time and I didn’t know that my insurence doesn’t cover this procedure, and nobody in this whole hospital didn’t tell me abou that. Worst 👎

Terrible system for er. Better go to sun hospital. I want give 0 point to them.
