Family Medicine in Gwangjang-dong, Seoul, Korea

I suddenly experienced severe vomiting and diarrhea while taking a walk nearby, and I was really struggling, so I decided to visit. Even though it was late, I was fortunate that 24-hour care was available, and I could see a doctor right away. After the examination, I was told that it was gastroenteritis, and I received IV treatment due to dehydration. The medical staff carefully checked my current condition and explained everything kindly, which put me at ease. After the treatment, I felt significantly better. What impressed me the most was the pharmacy guidance. They not only explained how to take the medication but also provided detailed advice about eating white porridge, electrolyte drinks, and foods to avoid, which really helped in my recovery. When you're unwell, even small pieces of information can be a big support, so I was grateful for their thorough care. I was panicked by the sudden gastroenteritis symptoms, but I was able to get prompt treatment, and because of the kind explanations and care, I was able to recover well. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs emergency care or is feeling sick late at night. Thank you! 😊

I visited Chamsarang Clinic after a health checkup showed that my cholesterol levels were high. I usually didn’t have any particularly uncomfortable symptoms, so even after hearing that my cholesterol was high, I didn’t think much of it. But once I saw the actual numbers, I felt that I needed to manage it, so I decided to get medical care. During the consultation, I talked about my recent test results and usual eating habits. After checking how high my cholesterol levels were, I was prescribed medication. Since it was my first time taking the medication, I was worried that I might have side effects, but I felt a little reassured after hearing an explanation of how to take it and what precautions to keep in mind. I had thought that taking the medication would be enough, but I was told that it’s also important to manage my diet and exercise, so I’m trying to pay a little more attention to what I eat. In particular, I was advised to cut down on greasy foods and late-night meals and to manage my habits consistently, so I’m also trying to make some lifestyle changes. Overall, I was able to ask about anything I was curious about during the consultation, and it was helpful that I could confirm how to take the prescribed medication before starting it. I heard that cholesterol is often checked through a blood test even when there are no noticeable symptoms, so if your health checkup shows high cholesterol, I think it would be a good idea not to ignore it and to get a consultation.

I got my flu and COVID shots. As always, the doctor was so kind and explained everything so thoroughly, and the nurses were wonderful too. They are the kind of people who heal your heart as well.
