SMOE suggested renewal medical exam location
« on: June 17, 2011, 08:21:38 PM »
SMOE'ers check the SMOE website they posted a hospital in Boramae that's pretty cheap. They're not making an endorsements but if you're like me and having a heck of time finding a place that to get it done that doesn't want to charge an arm and a leg and knows what to do, I'd say go there. That's where I'm going. I'll post here my review after I go.

How much is it?

I went to Seoul Medical Center in Bongwhasan and it was 52,000.

That's cheaper! Boramae is 72,000. Did they speak English at Seoul Medical?

There is a similar thread to this one and one guy (or girl not sure) said they went to the SMC by COEX. Gave a good review.

Second the Seoul Medical Center in Bonghwasan - soooooo efficient and everyone was very kind.  It's about an hour subway ride from where I live - but so worth the trip.

[Edit: Their English was fine - there's usually a interpreter at the information desk and the nurses know enough so you know where you have to go and what to do, etc.  Just don't forget the two passport size photos! They won't do the check without them!  There's a Homeplus nearby where you can get them done - go to the photo counter and ask them there - it's about 9,000 won and a 30 minute wait.  Also - they stop doing health checks at 4pm (but none on Saturday - I think?), so be sure to get there in time/early!]
