There's one across from the Rocky Mountain bar. I don't recommend going there for anything serious. The International Clinic at Severance Hospital is much better.

The cheap one (think 1960's flooring and decor) is located across from The Goldfish Bar, next to Hooker Hill. It's on the 2nd floor, above a convenience store (7 Eleven, I think).

It's good for an inexpensive blood or STD test, as they ship the fluids out to a respected lab in Korea. It's a traditional Korean-style clinic, though... not exactly the greatest privacy.

Every major hospital seems to have an international clinic: Seoul National, Yonsei, Samsung and even dr. love works for one at Kyunghee. You can do better than the one in Itaewon.

There's one in Hannam-dong called the Seoul Foreign Clinic. Really just a doctor's office with a receptionist who both speak English well. Just up the road from the UN Village. Tel: 02 796-1871

The International Clinic at Soonchyunhyang University Hospital in Hannam is pretty good. It is very easy to get to from Itaewon. The doctor there speaks good English and Spanish.

The website has a map and details on how to get there.

My wife had a terrible experience at Soonchoenhyung Hospital. While they do have an international clinic and could possibly be very good, when my wife went into early labor, we had terrible service from the maternity ward.
