Yeonsei First Internal Medicine and Neurology Clinic

I live nearby and a friend of mine went there and said it was great, so I was intrigued and decided to visit. Haha. It was close to Seoul Station, so I got there quickly on foot. Just as I heard, the hospital was clean and everything could be done in one stop in half a day: blood tests, gastroscopy, chest X-ray, thyroid ultrasound, dementia tests, carotid ultrasound (the neurologist was there, so this was possible, haha), and I even got my vaccinations done while I was there. But I was surprised!!! They didn't give me cheap vaccination shots; they only provided the best vaccines available!! *Pneumonia - Prevnar 2.0 (the latest vaccine released in Korea by the end of 2024, which protects against a total of 20 strains, combining 7 additional strains to the original 13 strains that the existing 13-valent vaccine covered) *Shingles - Shingrix (unlike the existing vaccine, which has a rapid decrease in effectiveness down to 20-40% as you age, this one maintains over 90% effectiveness even in people in their 70s and 80s. Additionally, it provides strong protection for over 10 years, offering peace of mind throughout old age and is particularly effective in preventing complications like 'postherpetic neuralgia,' which can be fatal for the elderly) *Japanese encephalitis - Imogep (the existing vaccine requires five inconvenient injections, and immunity gradually decreases over time, but Imogep only requires a single shot for adults, achieving rapid immunity within two weeks and providing long-lasting strong protection) The doctor assured me that getting all three vaccinations on the same day wouldn’t interfere with immunity formation, so I went ahead and got them all at once. Additionally, I received detailed explanations about some abnormal findings in the thyroid ultrasound and chest X-ray, and I was advised to undergo follow-up tests. I later had fine needle aspiration and a chest CT, and thankfully, the results showed nothing serious. Two skilled doctors. I feel so happy that there’s a reliable hospital that provides the best pharmaceutical materials and equipment to patients. I received my blood test results by mail. A pleasant hospital. A place I want to visit again. I’m grateful to the friend who recommended it. That’s why I keep recommending it to my neighbors and acquaintances too~~

It was a hospital where I was satisfied and comfortable in many ways~^^
