I would like to hear from anyone who has had a colonoscopy in Seoul. My questions for you would be; where was it performed, how much did it cost and most importantly, what was your opinion of their( the clinic/hospital and the medical staff involved ) professionalism? I am on a yearly recall for one of these procedures and am wondering if I can have it done in Seoul and if doing so is advisable. Hoping to hear from people with first-hand experience, either positive or otherwise. Thank-you in advance.

Most internal medecine clinics can do it for you. (Ne-gwa hospital)

You might want to make sure they don't video link it to the waiting room (seriously). They do that at my clinic.

Savages.

Asan Hospital, well done, about 150K, took about three minutes. The woman doing it was very professional, asked me to relax and take deep breaths..no problems, recovered in 20 minutes.

The procedure at our hospital is 150 000 won for the procedure to be done while you are conscious and 225 000 won if you are not.
(assuming you have National Health Insurance)

I can promise you that the staff are professional at our center and we are a modern facility with state of the art equipment.

If you'd like an appointment I'd be happy to help.

Ha. That's hilarious. I guess it doesn't matter, though, because, Richard Gere aside, we all pretty much look the same up there.

Be careful you're not just getting a 똥침.
