KimSeungwook Internal Medicine

The nurses were very kind and professional. The doctor also provided excellent care. After receiving the IV drip, my weakness from enteritis quickly subsided.

I've received IV fluids at several places around here, but this is definitely the most effective. At other places, I'd still feel tired after the IV, thinking 'Is this really an IV?', but here, I feel significantly less tired afterwards. It seems to be around 50,000 won. The nurse at the reception desk is excellent at giving injections! Last time I went, the needle insertion was quite painful, with a lot of probing. When I mentioned it was painful, the nurse in the IV room said my veins were weak and hard to find, and I ended up with a large bruise. However, the nurse at the reception desk gives the injection in one go without pain! (I frequently donate blood and have never been told my veins are weak.)

I liked it because they were friendly!! The doctor has a lot of experience.

The doctor was kind and thorough, and everything was great.

I revisited because of a touching memory, but it seems others had different experiences based on the comments below.

The vibe of this internal medicine doctor, who has been practicing for 22 years, is amazing... Am I the kind of person who gets scolded every time I visit? That's me... A tsundere grandpa type...

My prescription was handled with such carelessness. It was my first time receiving a handwritten prescription, and it lacked drug codes and dosages. The pharmacy couldn't dispense it because it was incomplete, so I couldn't get my medication. The doctor seemed eager to finish the consultation and leave for the day, and I couldn't reach the hospital from the pharmacy to confirm the prescription. This was my first experience with such a negligent hospital, and it was a bewildering situation. I still can't comprehend how a doctor could make such a mistake in writing a prescription. Shouldn't at least medication prescriptions be handled correctly without any errors? If I were a patient with a severe condition who absolutely needed to take medication that day, I would have been terrified of the potential impact on my health due to such an absurd mistake leading to missed medication. I hope they pay more attention to these fundamental aspects.

The staff were friendly and I was satisfied.

I was aghast that the doctor did not prescribe antihistamines for an allergy patient. I have had allergy symptoms for over 20 years and have been prescribed so many medications that I can recite the names and effects of most of them. However, I have never encountered a doctor who refused to prescribe antihistamines. It's understandable for mild cases, but for moderate to severe, long-term patients who cannot avoid allergens, respiratory symptoms cannot be controlled without antihistamines. Furthermore, for asthma patients, sudden asthma attacks can be life-threatening, making symptom and inflammation control essential. The doctor's refusal to prescribe antihistamines, only to offer an over-the-counter medication when the patient requested it, left me speechless. If that's the case, why go to the hospital when you can just go to the pharmacy? Moreover, a doctor should be accommodating when a patient requests to continue a medication they have been taking for a long time, but instead, the doctor seemed displeased, stating they were not a pharmacist and had their own preferred medications. When consulting with a doctor while taking existing medication, it is standard practice to clearly state this and discuss it beforehand to prevent drug interactions and side effects. This is a fundamental aspect of medical care. Allergies require extra caution regarding drug allergies and side effects, so disclosing existing medications is crucial. The doctor's display of displeasure during this process was extremely disappointing. Truly, the dismissive attitude and prescription approach that failed to respect even these basic principles were the worst. I have decided never to return. Doctors exist for the patients, not for patients to appease the doctors. Please remember these fundamental principles.
