Pediatrics in Areum-dong, Sejong, Korea

Thank you for being open on Sunday. However, for the flu and COVID tests, they swabbed both sides of my child’s nose (at other places, it’s over with just one swab), and we were charged 60,000 won. My child usually doesn’t cry, but shed tears during the testing. We went because it was the weekend and we needed to go somewhere urgently, but...

My child had a dry cough and was running a fever up and down all night, so we visited the pediatrician. The waiting room was already quite packed. When it was our turn, the doctor spoke to my child kindly and examined him, which really touched me. Even when using the stethoscope, he warmed it slightly with his hands so it wouldn't be cold, showing such care. He also checked thoroughly inside the throat and nose, and thankfully said it was just an early common throat cold. While prescribing medication, he calmly explained what to watch out for and how to handle a fever, which made me feel relieved. After picking up the prescription from the pharmacy, I followed the doctor's advice to give him warm water often and let him rest well, and he got better quickly. The hospital itself is kept very clean, and parking is convenient, so I plan to come back here next time my child catches a cold.

They were kind and listened well to my child's concerns without over-treatment. My child received stable care, managed to get the IV perfectly, and was discharged in good condition. Dr. Yoon Yusuk? I was impressed by the thoroughness of the doctor and the cleanliness of the hospital. The attention to detail from the nurses was touching.
