I don't have my health insurance yet and had to see a dermatologist for a minor problem. I emailed on Sunday night requesting an appointment. They called me and emailed me by 10am today asking if I could come in for a 12:50 appt. I showed up at 12:40 at Samsung medical hospital (which is huge and super modern) to the Int'l health services desk, filled out a brief form and they had a translator walk me to the dermatology dept. The Dr. saw me at exactly 12:50. He spoke perfect English and I was out the door with two prescriptions 15 minutes later. I haven't been paid yet so I don't have Nat'l health insurance but the appt. fee was 37 dollars. The two medications together (which are the same ones I would be prescribed in the states) were 30 dollars. They are over 400 dollars without insurance in the US. Anyways, I couldn't recommend this place more. It was as modern as the best hospitals I've been to in the states, like Stanford University.
