We arrived at the clinic a second time. Her husband was examined with a focus on the digestive tract. Quickly, efficiently. The examination revealed polyps that were removed on the same day. The translator girls are very kind, they explain everything, and see them off. I recommend! В клинику приехали второй раз. Обследовали мужа с упором на ЖКТ. Быстро, качественно. На обследовании были выявлены полипы, которые удалили в этот же день. Девочки переводчицы очень любезные, все объясняют, провожают. Рекомендую!

Reviews about Clinics in Republic of Korea by Bookimed Patients


Good evening! In the Severance clinic itself, I liked everything. Everything is very organized. Polite clinic staff. There was one caveat. Nobody told me that preparations for a colonoscopy will be delivered to the hotel. If I hadn’t come to Severance hospital the day before, I’ve found a girl who speaks Russian. She phoned the clinic and explained that the package should wait at the hotel. A. So I would not be prepared on the appointed day. The rest I liked everything. I plan to come to you in a year. Thanks for all !! Добрый вечер! В самой клинике Северанс мне все понравилось. Очень все организовано. Вежливый персонал клиники . Был один нюанс. Мне никто не сообщил что будут доставлены препараты для колоноскопия в отель. Если бы я днём раньше не пришла в госпиталь Северанс где нашла девушку говорящую на русском языке. Она созвонилась с клиникой и объяснила что должна ждать в отеле посылочка. А. Так бы я пришла в назначенный день не подготовленная. Остальное мне все понравилось. Планирую через год к вам. Спасибо за все !!
Very satisfied with the visit to the clinic, from the international department to the clinics to the staff, excellent team work Очень довольны визитом в клинику, от международного отдела в клиники до персонала, отличная командная работа
They made a check. Served well. I REALLY WANT TO PRAISE THE LUMMILA COORDINATOR from the site of Bookimed, WISE !!! THE QUESTIONS ASKED TO HER, DECIDED BY ACCESSIBILITY OF ACCESS, WELL-DECK !!!!!
Делали чекап.
Обслужили хорошо.
ОЧЕНЬ ХОЧУ ПОХВАЛИТЬ ЛЮДМИЛУ-КООРДИНАТОРА с сайта Букимед, УМНИЦА!!! ВОПРОСЫ ЗАДАВАЕМЫЕ ЕЙ, РЕШАЛА ПО ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ ДОСТУПА, УМНИЦА!!!!!
Mom could not make an accurate diagnosis, and we decided to be examined in Korea. I left a request in bookimed. And what surprised immediately rang. I told you how, all the tests that were done, and I was advised by the Ehwa clinic. We immediately agreed and signed up with a mammologist. Everything is clean in the clinic, all doctors, all medical staff are qualified, and very friendly. The translator was with my mother all the time, and he explained everything very clearly. They quickly took the tests, and immediately established a diagnosis, they said it was necessary to do the operation. The operation lasted 5 hours (general preparation, etc.) after the operations in the clinic 10 days. They did everything neatly, everything had almost healed. I am satisfied with the clinic and the medical coordinators of Bookimed. Thank you all very much! Маме не могли поставить точный диагноз, и мы решили обследоваться в Корее. Оставила заявку в букимед. И то что удивило сразу же позвонили. Я рассказала что как, все анализы которые проводились, и мне посоветовали клинику Ихва. Мы сразу же все соглосовали, и записались к маммологу. В клинике все чисто, все врачи, весь мед персонал квалифицированные, и очень доброжелательные. Все время с мамой был переводчик, и очень понятно все объяснял. Быстро взяли анализы, и сразу же установили диагноз, сказали надо делать операцию. Операция длилась 5 часов (общ подготовка и тд.) после операций в клинике пролежала 10 дней. Все сделали аккуратно, уже все почти зажило. Я удовлетворена клиникой и мед координаторами Букимед. Всем большое спасибо!
The staff is nice, but everything is on stream, as it does not take my problem seriously, as much as I would like! After my husband insistently said that it would be necessary to do so, so this, then after that we were heard.
Персонал хороший , но все поставленно на поток, как то относятся к моей проблеме не очень серьезно, как бы мне этого хотелось!
После того как мой супруг настойчиво сказал, что надо бы сделать так то, так то, то после этого нас услышали.
I had SMILE performed. Absolutely no down time, was out and about 20mins after procedure with 20/20 vision albeit a bit hazy. Haziness decreased over the next weeks. The procedure was painless and I found it quite interesting. Surgeon talks you through the procedure and was quite calming. It took approx 5mins per eye. The organization is very professional, I believe they have the latest equipment. Staff are excellent and helpful.
I received lasik back in March. My time at BGN was really great. The staff is super nice and super helpful. I can message at any time and get a response quickly. If you ever want to get your eyes fix I really recommend going to BGN in Busan.
척추수술 잘하고 친절함
지방에서 올라온 환자가 많았는데 의료진이 지방유명한 병원과 큰차이가없었고 주차장 문제가 제일불편해요 병원주차장에 24시간주차시 1십만원이 넘는주차료 가 발생 한다고하고 보호자 식사을 신청하면 혼자가 퇴원하는 날까지 같이신청해야 하는불편함과. 입원병동에 혼자가 씻을만한 목욕탕도. 없어 너무불편한곳입니다 지방에서 가시는분은 미리가셔서 자세히 확인하시고 가세요 주변에 가까운곳에 주차장도 없고 참으로 불편합니다 금요일 오후에가시면 강남구청에다 주차을 하면 월요일 9시이전까지 무료주차 가능해요 두번다시 가고싶지 않은 곳이에요 병원비용은 지방3배 비싼곳이기도 해요
Great, modern hospital.
병의원에서 치료가 잘 안되면 바로 오세요시간 끌다가 병이 깊어질 수 있어요
친절하고 참좋았어요 친절 써비스는 거의 1등
cảm ơn cho tôi những giấc mơ đẹp về cuộc sông mới. Những người Việt Nam không may mắn rất biết ơn. Mong hệ thống Jk trọn vẹn tại Việt Nam.

I want me to give an injection
Everything is organized at a very high level! Also worth noting translators! Well done!
I am writing honestly and frankly to warn many from rash acts to visit this clinic and many others in Seoul. Do not fall for colorful stories of those who tell you that Korea has good medicine. Everything here is set up to pump money from foreigners, that’s absolutely it. Repeated receptions of specialists are delayed, heaps of unnecessary examinations are assigned. Like if you have a sore leg, then until we check your stomach, we can’t make a diagnosis. A person pays initially about 2 thousand dollars, but this later turns out to be not enough, you have to pay more and more, for the measured pressure, for measuring your growth, it is not clear why you should pay pressure if the same apparatus is in front of the office for everyone. In general, I came here with pain in the right hypochondrium, and have already paid 4 thousand dollars and I have not yet passed any really necessary examinations. I've been here for 10 days. Ultrasound and CT were done and they say that the results will be ready in two weeks. A person understands that he has already spent a lot of money and has not received any information, in the hope of spending everything that he has left. But it’s advantageous for them not to examine you in-depth, but only superficially to give you repeated and repeated appointments of doctors who just talk with you, you complain of pain, they listen to you nod your head and that's it ... Continuing to pump money out of you, while you will not have them. For that, they say that they are very sorry, and they say that you should go home for more money and then go to them to continue the examination .. People, believe me, I didn’t write it out of anger, it’s reality ... act like me ....
