 |
|
I am aware that when you visit international clinics in Korean hospitals, the cost is more for the consultation with the english speaking doctor.
My question is......if he/ she sends you to another specialist (allergist/ ear nose throat etc) , do you pay more for their services also?
Curious if I should just skip the international doc and head straight to the specialist. |

Most of the hospitals where international clinics are available are more expensive. So, if your doctor refers you to a specialist, you will have to pay more for their services, too.
I once went to a clinic because something entered my eye and I had an allergic reaction. The doctor said I would be okay but to be safe, I could see an optometrist. He suggested I visit a different hospital since the services would be much cheaper there. |

| Network with friends and find English speaking doctors who have their own offices. Hospitals can be expensive and aren't any better than a good English-speaking sole practitioner. I've got my ENT and gyn and neither costs me more that 4,000 won per visit. |
