I was diagnosed with diabetes for the first time in early 2018, with an HbA1c level over 12%, which was severe. At that time, I was working in Daegu and tried to find a nearby hospital, but it was hard to trust them, and they were unfriendly. Then, I happened to develop glaucoma as well, so I was referred to this doctor's clinic by a friend of my wife. Within just one month, my diabetes was under control, and I managed to get my HbA1c down to 6.5%. I've been doing well for about 6 to 7 years now. Honestly, I would say this place is almost miraculous when it comes to diabetes treatment, and it's one of the few top-notch hospitals in Seoul. The only downside I found was that now that I'm pretty much better and don't need any special prescriptions, they keep asking me to undergo various tests, using time as an excuse, which has been a bit bothersome. But I know many hospitals do this nowadays. Still, the medical staff is incredibly kind and excellent. Dr. Jin Hyun-cheol.

During a health check, I was advised to undergo further testing for suspected macular degeneration, so I visited this well-known ophthalmology clinic. On Saturday, it was completely packed, and since I didn't have an appointment, the nurse explained that I would have to wait about two hours. I was hesitant at first, but it seemed like a hassle to come back another day, so I decided to wait. However, I ended up waiting less than I thought and was able to receive care. Before entering the doctor's office, I underwent several tests, and the doctor explained the results in detail, allowing me to feel at ease during the consultation.

I visited Gong Eye Clinic because my eyesight had gotten worse lately due to personal circumstances, and it was nearby. I liked that it was large and had modern equipment, but the wait was very long, and I ended up having unnecessary tests as well, so I was disappointed that the medical bill came out so high.

I visited for regular checkups every six months because I may have macular degeneration. I made an appointment, so I didn’t have to wait and was able to have the tests and see the doctor right away. The doctor was also very kind, so I plan to keep coming back.

Both of my eyes were dry and painful, but after being examined here and getting prescription medication and eye drops, I've noticed an improvement.

I came today for my husband's cataract surgery, and I'm a bit nervous. I'm the guardian, but he might be even more anxious. The hospital is clean, and the doctors are really attentive. ^^
