The international clinic in HBC is crap, don't go see her. I had a fairly big problem that she kept misdiagnosing which in turn made it worse...
Go see the guy in Itaewon, he's pretty good. http://www.internationalclinic.co.kr/promise/PR_1.asp |

They are EXTREMELY overpriced and very rude.
Also, they don't accept Korean Health Insurance.
Go elsewhere. |

International Clinic in Itaewon takes insurance; is very cheap and Dr. Kim's English is perfect, so he can explain what meds you are getting, etc. The phone number is:
Office Tel: 82-2-790-0857
There are a few hours on Saturdays for walk-ins, but they are always busy during this time. It's best to make an appointment. |

Yeah, the first apt is more $, but after that it's really cheap. I paid $10 for my last visit and my meds.
I guess it depends on if you want a doctor who was trained at a medical school in a western country or some guy who can not explain things to you in English who will only give you three days of ABs at a time and a bunch of other pills that you'll never what they are.
I've had Korean doctors give me the wrong medicine that made my condition worse..... |

Yes, it's also 30,000 to see the doctor at Asan hospital's international clinic, that's the right price. If you have something beyond a basic flu or virus go to Asan, that's the best care in Seoul. |
