Soon Chun Hyang Hospital

My stay at “Soon Chun Hyang” brought me a lot of impressions!

Everything was new to me: it was my first time in Korea and undergoing a package examination at a foreign clinic, specifically, a colonoscopy. Of course, I was nervous at first, but I soon realized there was no reason to worry.

I always had an escort: they took me directly from the airport to the diagnostic center, where I met friendly coordinators and interpreters. The clinic itself is more like a spa – clean, bright, with even music playing.

Doctors explain in detail what they are doing and why, answering every single question. They delve into the patient's problems and don't finish the examination until they understand exactly the cause of the ailment.

Everything happened very quickly. I finished the procedures without any delays, found out that large polyps were discovered during the colonoscopy – and an hour later, with my consent, they were preparing me for surgery.

Overall, I liked everything!

When my husband and I decided to have a full body check-up, we, without hesitation, went to Korea. Suitable doctors were found at the “Soon Chun Hyang” clinic near Seoul: a cardiologist for my husband and a dermatologist for me.

I took an extended package for GI tract examination, so I was prescribed a CT scan and colonoscopy. For preparation, I drank a bowel cleansing medication – it tastes like lemonade.

At the hospital, we changed clothes, visited a therapist, and went for the procedures. Almost everything was done on one floor, and we were free by the first half of the day. The doctors took into account that I'm afraid of injections and combined the blood draw with another procedure to avoid two pricks. I liked how delicately they treated this.

As a result, no serious abnormalities were found, and we were given recommendations for lifestyle changes. A pleasant bonus: we received tickets to a water park, a gift for those undergoing colonoscopy.

I chose “Soon Chun Hyang” after reading reviews online and learning they use the most modern equipment. Moreover, the clinic was running a promotion: 2 nights' accommodation + consultation for $50.

First of all, my visit to Korea was memorable for how conveniently everything was organized. My apartment was 5 minutes from the hospital and had everything necessary for living. In the hospital buildings, you can exchange money or have a snack at a cafe. The international department staff accompany patients at all stages of the examination, even sitting nearby and waiting for the appointment if needed.

The clinic also organized airport transfer both ways.

I had to see doctors at the end of 2016, right before the New Year. At “Soon Chun Hyang”, I and my companions were met by the international center staff. The entire time we spent in Korea, they were ready to help at any moment.

After the examination, I needed treatment, and it was carried out at an outstanding level. I am immensely grateful to the doctors for their professionalism and kindness.

Thank you so much for your help, understanding, and professional work. We are already home. Everything is fine, the surgery was successful, now everything will depend on us. Thank you again!
