Suseong-gu Seoul Asan Internal Medicine Clinic, Colonoscopy Inconveniences Disappear[6]

This is a review of the health checkup I received at Seoul Asan Internal Medicine Clinic in Daegu. I have a history of having polyps removed because they were always found during colonoscopies. That is why I schedule colonoscopies every two years. Since a new clinic offering checkups opened near my home, I decided to try Seoul Asan Internal Medicine Clinic, which has excellent facilities. What I liked most was that I only had to take the pre-colonoscopy medication in the morning. The medication is called OnePrep, and it was so convenient because I just had to mix the powder four hours before the test and take it twice. Before, it was a real ordeal to struggle with going to the bathroom starting at night, but since I only had to go in the morning, I was able to get enough sleep, which was great. The facilities were also state-of-the-art, which was a plus. With a professor with 15 years of experience in Gastroenterology at a university hospital, the explanations were detailed, giving me confidence in the clinic.

Jukjeon Internal Medicine Clinic in Dalseo-gu provides kind and thorough medical care.[7]

I visited Jukjeon Sok Internal Medicine Clinic because I have been experiencing frequent stomach discomfort and bloating recently. Overall, it was a satisfactory clinic. The reception staff and nurses were kind and attentive, which made me feel less pressured despite it being my first visit. The clinic was also neatly maintained, creating a comfortable atmosphere. I felt confident in the doctor as they listened carefully to my symptoms and provided detailed explanations. I particularly appreciated that they listened calmly without interrupting me. I also felt reassured because they explained the tests and medication in an easy-to-understand manner. However, the only downside is that there are quite a lot of visiting patients, so the waiting time can feel a bit long depending on the time of day. Also, parking space isn't very ample, so it might be a little inconvenient during peak hours. Nevertheless, the medical care itself was thorough and friendly, so I felt the wait was worth it. I think it is a clinic worth recommending to anyone looking for an internal medicine clinic near Dasa.

Experience a comfortable first endoscopy at Sokpyeonhan Internal Medicine Clinic in Suseong-gu[2]

Sokpyeonhan Internal Medicine Clinic Daegu Branch is the hospital I chose for my first gastroscopy and colonoscopy procedures. With over 20 years of experience, it is a well-known clinic in Daegu for endoscopic health checkups. I was confident in my digestion and usually ate anything well, but suddenly I experienced indigestion, bloating, and vomiting after eating, which made my heart sink, wondering if I had a serious illness. An acquaintance strongly recommended that I get an endoscopy, so I underwent the procedures for the first time in my life. It was conveniently located near my home, and since it is a famous clinic for endoscopy, I was very nervous and worried about what would happen if the anesthesia didn't work. Fortunately, the examination went well, and because it is famous for checkups, the process was well-organized, allowing me to receive the checkup with peace of mind.

I felt relieved thanks to the thorough treatment for my cold at Jun Internal Medicine Clinic in Cheonan.[6]

I am leaving this review because I visited recently due to cold symptoms and received truly satisfying care. Initially, I planned to just get a simple prescription since it was a mild cold, but I was impressed by how the doctor meticulously asked about each symptom and paid attention to even the smallest details. Instead of simply saying, "It’s just a mild cold," they carefully checked if I was experiencing any discomfort and shared tips on managing my daily lifestyle, which put my mind at ease. The prescribed medicine seemed to suit me well; after taking it, my sore throat, cough, and body aches improved rapidly, and I recovered much faster than expected. The staff were also kind, and the clinic atmosphere was comfortable, so I felt no pressure during the consultation. I tend to get sensitive when I'm sick, but thanks to the warm treatment, I left feeling good. This is a place I would like to visit again if I need to see an internal medicine doctor in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I visit internal medicine?
Visit internal medicine for internal organ symptoms such as fever, cough, phlegm, abdominal pain, indigestion, chest tightness, or chronic fatigue. Chronic disease management (hypertension, diabetes) and comprehensive health screenings are also handled by internal medicine.
How often should I get a comprehensive health checkup?
Generally, every 2 years from your 30s and annually from your 40s. If you have a family history or chronic conditions, your doctor may recommend shorter intervals.
Do I need to take medication for hypertension or diabetes for life?
Most require long-term medication, but lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, weight management) can sometimes reduce dosage or allow temporary discontinuation. Never stop medication on your own — always consult your doctor first.
What is the difference between a cold and the flu?
A cold has relatively mild symptoms — mainly runny nose, sneezing, and sore throat. The flu involves high fever above 38°C, body aches, and severe fatigue. The flu requires antiviral treatment, most effective when prescribed within 48 hours of symptom onset.
How much does an internal medicine visit cost?
General visits are covered by national health insurance, costing about KRW 5,000–15,000 for a first visit. Comprehensive health screenings are non-covered and range from KRW 100,000 to several hundred thousand depending on scope.
