Asan Medical Center

An excellent medical center for diagnostics. I visited here and was examined quickly within 2 hours, underwent the necessary tests, and received the results within 2 days.
After undergoing a medical examination and receiving the results, the consultation process was very comfortable, everything was organized attentively and kindly.
Our experience with the International Clinic here was amazing! We had an issue with booking through a third-party app that caused my husband’s appointment date to show up wrong, but the doctor still managed to squeeze in a quick consultation since we had to travel a long way and we had proof that the app told us the incorrect date. The doctor was very helpful, and ordered three tests in three different areas that were finished very quickly. Even with walk time between the different floors and buildings, we finished three different tests and made it back to the clinic area within about 40 minutes! Everyone was very kind, and at least in the international clinic they all spoke very good English (and had desks clearly marked for those that speak many other languages). Everyone was very kind and helpful. Highly recommend. 🙂
Professional medical staffs. As we don’t speak Korean, they tried their best to communicate and explain to us in detailed. Best service from the nurse in the Area 6. Thumbs up.
The doctors here are really good, they know their job well. But the other staff work as if just “for the sake of it” — they only do the bare minimum without much effort.
Because of that, they don’t really explain where to go, what to do, or what to pay attention to. If there’s an issue, they might not even pass it along.
There are lots of things in the hospital that could be improved, but it feels like the system was set up once and then just left that way without further development.
One of the best hospitals in the world. Qualified doctors work here, and everything about it inspires praise and pride in the progress humanity has achieved in medicine.
For anyone with health problems, I recommend packing your bags and heading to this hospital immediately.
A lot of service/professionalism that comes with a lot of Money with mediocre treatment
I have been suffering in Gastritis for long and have been into different medical centres. Before visiting Asan I had a hope that they can probably cure me, but it stands out to be the same type of medical expertise that I have already faced earlier. So in terms of treatment I would be rather disappointed.

I had foot surgery..ㅠㅠ I truly believe this hospital lives up to its reputation. The hospital system is very well organized, and communication with patients is excellent. I think the role of the clinical nurse was very important. I had visited this hospital before, but this was my first surgery here.. My parents had cared for patients in major hospitals for a long time, and if they ever get sick, I believe this is where they should come.. For me, the surgery here was the most comfortable and calm compared to other places.
25/08/2022 – I came back after the foot surgery to have the screws removed.. In another hospital, it was very difficult, but here I recovered much better… I hope everything goes well. I am always grateful to the clinical nurses and doctors.
The hospital’s logistics system is excellent. Patient communication is also on a very high level. The attending doctor explains very well and answers all questions thoroughly. Upon admission, patients are given a gown that fits exactly according to height and weight.
These are my personal notes on the experience I had from 2021 until my discharge in 2022.. Everything went well, and I am very happy.

Going to the hospital is never fun, but if you have to, this is one of the biggest and best hospitals in Seoul. The doctors are great, the facilities are modern, so you can really trust it.
I heard it was founded in 1989 by the former Hyundai chairman, Chung Ju-yung. Now it has two big buildings — East and West.
And right across the street there’s a nice park. In spring, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, it’s especially beautiful and really calming.

If you look at patient treatment and safety, this is probably the best choice in South Korea. But the service during the process isn’t great (other big hospitals have the same issue). How much you can put up with that depends on the person.
By the way, the meals for accompanying family members were really bad, haha.
If Asan Hospital is confident it can be the best anywhere, maybe they should think about moving to a more spacious area with better transport access for the long term.
