Internal Medicine in Ongnyeon-dong, Incheon, Korea

A relative recently visited our home, but they accidentally left their blood pressure medication behind. Since it was medication they had to take every day, we started looking into several hospitals. After calling a few places, we were told that they could issue a new prescription as long as we had the name of the medication and the prescription from the most recent visit. That’s how we found Songdo Best Internal Medicine Clinic. I thought the process would be pretty complicated, but since we had the previous prescription, they didn’t do any additional examination. After a quick blood pressure check and a few basic questions, they prescribed it right away. During the consultation, they asked simple questions, such as whether there had been any side effects and how much and how long the medication had been taken. I was really flustered because it was a prescription-only medication, but I felt relieved that we were able to get the prescription quickly after a phone consultation.

I regularly see Dr. Bae Yoon-ho for checkups for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, and I take my medication. He is very kind and provides accurate care, which puts me at ease, so I’ve been coming for checkups for over 10 years, all the way from Dongchun-dong. The nurses are all very kind as well.

They provide care while checking in at regular intervals. During this visit, I received examinations and prescriptions, including carotid artery tests (left and right), a fundus examination, blood tests, and a diabetes test. From a patient's perspective, it was reassuring to receive the kind explanations from the doctor and regular, attentive follow-up, almost like having a primary care physician. Since it helped me stay on top of my health—something that is easy to overlook—I felt through the treatment process that this is a good internal medicine clinic, and I would recommend it.
