WhatsApp, email and social channels

WhatsApp is the fastest way to check waiting times or ask a practical question. Medical questions are best discussed in person, because the doctor needs to examine you before giving advice about diagnosis or treatment.

WhatsApp works from any country, so you can message the clinic from a foreign mobile number before you arrive. Documents such as referral letters or records from another hospital can be sent by email to sykysk77@gmail.com. Social channels share clinic news and general information.

Walk-ins welcome

You do not need an appointment for a general consultation. Walk in during opening hours, register at reception, and you will be seen in order. Waiting times vary with the day and season; allergy and cold seasons, Saturday mornings and the hours right after opening can be busier.

If you are considering surgery and want to use the same-day testing, consultation and surgery system, messaging us on WhatsApp first is helpful so the team can explain how the day will run. If you plan to come for IV therapy, you can also message us on WhatsApp to ask about availability of the private rooms.

If you don't speak Korean

  • Say your main symptom simply : "ear pain," "sore throat," "blocked nose," "dizzy," "hearing loss."
  • "Do I need to wait long?" To check the current wait.

Typing your symptoms and medication list in your phone before you arrive makes registration smoother. WhatsApp messages are easy to translate on both sides, so writing in English is always fine.
