Song Young-wook Internal Medicine Clinic

I visited Orthopedics the day before because of sudden swelling and severe pain in multiple joints, including my knees and wrists, but my symptoms got worse. After searching online, I learned that I needed to see a rheumatologist. I went to see Professor Young-wook Song, who is well known in the field of rheumatology. I could really feel his expertise as he carefully examined my condition by directly checking several joints. Even though it is a primary care clinic, they were able to perform the necessary tests, such as blood work and infrared testing, right away, which was very convenient. The doctor also explained in detail how my treatment would proceed based on the test results, which was very helpful. I think it is a great advantage to have a nearby rheumatology clinic where you can receive specialized care before going to a university hospital, and it is a clinic I would recommend to anyone struggling with joint pain.

After experiencing knee pain, my Achilles tendon also swelled, and the pain spread to several joints, so I visited again. The doctor explained the results of the blood tests and X-rays we did last time in detail, which made me feel reassured since I could get both the tests and the results consultation all in one visit at my primary care facility. They carefully checked the X-ray images and explained any abnormalities, and they went through each blood test result one by one, helping me understand my current condition and the direction of future treatment clearly. I felt a sense of trust from their thoroughness and professionalism during the examination. Also, seeing the display of a commendation from President Moon Jae-in in the hospital gave me the impression that the medical staff is recognized in the community and healthcare field, which made me trust them even more. I believe this is a place where people struggling with joint pain can receive care with peace of mind.

I started experiencing symptoms with knee pain that expanded to several joints, including swelling in my Achilles tendon and wrist joint, which led me to visit again. Since the patient is a child, I was informed that it was necessary to transfer to a tertiary hospital where specialized pediatric rheumatology care is available. The explanation of why the transfer was needed and the future treatment process was made clear and easy to understand, which was very helpful. The referral was also written kindly and quickly, which greatly assisted in continuing my care. The hospital's interior was very clean and well-kept with a white-tone design, and the bright and pleasant atmosphere made me feel comfortable throughout my time there. Above all, the fact that I could receive rheumatology specialized care at a primary healthcare institution was a big advantage, and the systematic initial evaluation and connection to a tertiary hospital left me with the impression of a trustworthy hospital.

My mom said that each of her finger joints felt tingly and painful, so I took her there on the recommendation of an acquaintance who knows the medical field well. The doctor is exceptionally skilled and very well-known in rheumatology. They graduated from Seoul National University College of Medicine and earned a doctorate from its graduate school. They worked as an intern and resident at Seoul National University Hospital, then stayed on as a professor before opening this clinic after retiring. Most of the patients who come here have been seeing the doctor since their time at Seoul National University Hospital, and there is a long wait for appointments. The doctor gives sincere consultations, never rushes through examinations, and takes plenty of time with each patient. Fortunately, my mom was told that she had osteoarthritis rather than rheumatoid arthritis, so she hasn't needed to go back since then.

Review of the hospital I’ve been going to for a year... A condition that couldn’t be treated at other hospitals has almost completely improved thanks to the doctor’s accurate diagnosis and treatment. It seems like the doctor carefully reviews my blood tests every time before prescribing medication. (The consultations are quite thorough and take a long time.) Thank you so much. T_T The nurses are very kind, and the person who draws blood is so experienced that I can barely feel the needle going in. The nurse who administered my IV fluids was so kind. It was lunchtime, so she must have been busy, but she even massaged my arm. I was grateful because I could really feel that she was caring for me with a mother’s heart! I think I’ll get better soon thanks to them. The only downside is that there seem to be a lot of patients, probably because the doctor provides such good care. It seems essential to make an appointment for a less busy time.

Every evening, I had trouble digesting, and it continued into the night, making it difficult to sleep well, so I came in for a consultation. The doctor explained symptom management in detail, which put me at ease. The nurse was kind as well, which I appreciated.

I had to get an upper GI endoscopy for my workplace health check, so I visited based on a friend's recommendation. The doctor kindly explained the examination process and provided thorough care. Just keep in mind that there might be a bit of a wait since there are a lot of patients!

There are many clinics that are closed on weekends, so sometimes I can't go, but I like that I can get treatment here on Saturdays. The doctor also gives good prescriptions.
