Pediatrics in Jamsilsaenae, Seoul, Korea

When a child gets sick over the weekend, parents really start to worry. I'm so relieved there's a pediatric clinic nearby that stays open late on Sundays. It's a pretty big local hospital, complete with an entire building dedicated to it and even inpatient rooms. There are a lot of doctors here too. In the case of the flu, if you use regular flu testing tools, you might not get a diagnosis if you're on the borderline.. it often requires spending more money on tests the next day to get confirmation, but here, the results come back with actual numbers, so you can check immediately. This means proactive treatment is possible before it gets worse. I heard there’s a flu outbreak, but thankfully, after getting IV fluids, my child is feeling better. Thank you!

Every time we go to the pediatrician, my child screams from the entrance, saying 'let's go' while crying. During the examination, I would have to sit him on my lap and hold his arms and legs tight to keep him from moving. It was exhausting. But this was the first pediatric office where my child didn't cry during the exam. The attending physician told me my child had a severe ear infection and even showed us the screen with the ear image. My child was amazed and stared at the monitor with curious eyes while the doctor performed the exam quickly and skillfully, without giving my child a chance to whine. I really appreciated how thoroughly the doctor explained my child's condition. The nurses were also incredibly kind; my child even said hello on the way out. It was so moving that I really wanted to share this review. Thank you, doctor and nurses, for making our visit to the pediatrician so comfortable.

This is a review of a visit to a pediatric clinic because my child had a persistent cough and a fever. After checking in, we waited briefly and were able to see the doctor right away, which was nice because the wait time wasn't long. In the exam room, the doctor calmly asked about the symptoms and quickly checked my child's lungs and throat. They mentioned that it looked like a simple cold, but explained what to watch for in case it worsened, which I found easy to understand. The doctor prescribed only the minimum necessary medication and gave a brief rundown on how long to take it and what to watch out for at home. My child didn't cry much during the visit, which made things easier. Overall, the consultation was straightforward, focusing on what was necessary without unnecessary talk, so I thought I would be okay with returning in the future.
