from Thor May : PNU Hospital fancies itself as the premier teaching hospital in town and charges accordingly. Very friendly, but I suspect over-servicing. They have a special foreigner reception area on the 6th floor, with a reception nurse, Kim Dong-Hee, who is trying hard to learn English. It is a big hospital with specialists for most problems, including dentistry.

Samsun Hospital MAP
Sassang , next to Jurye Lucky Apt. Nangjeong Subway Station
Phone 332-0900
From Rocky: Samsun hospital impressed me. It looks modern, it is CLEAN, the receptionists speak English, as well as the doctors and X-ray personnel and pay clerks, and it is small enough that it is easy to find your way around. It is also easy to find. Take the subway to Naengjeong subway station (number 224). Walk out exit number 5, and you will see the Samsun Hospital building not far down the street.

Suyoung-Hanseo Hospital
491-16 Kwang-an 1 Dong, Suyoung-gu
Pusan Tel (051) 756-0081

from Thor May Bonsaeng Hospital has at least two branches: one at Allak Rotary near Dongnae, and one about a block back from Pusanjin subway, towards Somyeon. These are workaday hospitals, slightly scruffy, always crowded, and English speakers are hard to find, especially amongst reception staff. However, they claim to be "the cheapest". I can recommend the dentist at the Dongnae branch. Unlike the rest of the hospital, he was  desperate for patients. A middle aged man, ex-army dentist, with pretty good English, he seems to know his trade well... and he charged a LOT less than PNU. 
Here is a sample medical charge: anyone who plans on tripping down some steps and tearing the meniscus (cartilage) in their knee, like I did, is looking at w350,000 for an MRI scan at Bonsaeng (Pusanjin branch). To cheer me up, they confided that the charge at PNU hospital is w470,000 (MRIs are not covered by Korea's pathetic medical insurance system). If surgery is necessary, the damage is around a further 1,000,000 won.

Recommendation: This dentist went to Michigan State University and Seoul National . His English is excellent. He has a brand new office with state-of-the-American-art equipment. He is easy to find: take the subway to Namcheon Station (number 211), leave the subway using exit number 1. Walk towards where the road splits in two, there is a pedestrian walkway spanning the roads. Dr. Lee's clinic is 40 feet beyond the base of the stairs on the right-side road, in front of you.

Dr. Kim Byung Ju -  a dentist in Pusan near the Hyundai Department store. His English skills won't blow you away, but he can communicate very well in may be called "Dental English".  Which means he can tell you that "your bottom left molar is abcess. . . you need extraction" or whatever the problem might be.  His website address is : http://www.pusandc.co.kr Phone: 636-6144 
Unfortunately, there isn't a map on his website. He's located on the opposite side from the department store away from Somyon. When you get close to a Lotteria, look to your left and you're very close. He's on the third floor. 

Dr. Jung is a dentist who has a pretty good command of the English. He wears gloves. His office is located in the Hyundai Mart Complex under the Hyundai Apartments that overlook Camp Hialeah. Phone: 852-5533

 Dr. Hong, Sung Jun - a very good Christian Doctor in Suyoung Gu. He specializes in internal medicine, but could also be considered a general practitioner.  His clinic is named "Hong Clinic", and it is located in Mangmechugong Apartments in Mangmedong. Besides his ability to speak quite good English, I found this young doctor to be really very intelligent and very kind. An added advantage is that his wife is a  specialist in skin care and beauty treatment. Their clinic is fairly new and would be a definite advantage to members of Suyoungro Church from where this is a short walk. His clinic is well equipped and his treatment very satisfactory.   His phone number is 759 8060 (this one is received by his receptionists). His direct line is 751 2802 Recommended by Caesar J.

Dr. Kim Jung Hye  (Ob/gyn) (Ilsan Christian Hospital)..630-0465
"She seems to be very up-to-date and conscientious about helping a foreigner negotiate the business of dealing with that hospital (signing in to see her in one place, paying for the prescription in another, and getting a prescription to take to a pharmacy in a third).  Her secretary/receptionist/nurse also speaks good English."

Hangachok Women's Clinic
Dadae-po
Take a bus there from Busan Station (Subway stop # 13) or Symyeon (Subway stop # 21) or Goejeong (Subway Stop # 5).  I think the bus # 98 goes there.  The doctor's name is Dr. Yoon.  The phone # of the women's clinic is (051)600-3800.  The address is Busan, (Kwang Yuk Shi ) Saha-gu, DaDae 1 dong, 1441-13. The Korean word for Gynogologist is San Bu In Gwa. 

He is an older man (late 50's or early 60's) and he worked or trained in the U.S. Midwest for 4 or 5 years.  He English is excellent, he is kind and gentle.  It was just like going to a Gynocologist back home in Canada.  The prices are reasonable.  A pap, check up and all STD tests but HIV only cost about 80,000 won.

Orthopedic Medicine

If you have a broken bone, arthritis, gout, frozen shoulder, or just joint pains...go see an orthopedic specialist. I recommend: Dr. Choi Ho at the Samsun Hospital. Dr. Choi speaks good English and is has a good reputation with his peers. His office number is 322-0900. He has office hours Monday and Wednesday 9:40 to 11:30. He also sees people on Saturday. Samsun Hospital is easy to find. Take the subway to Naengjeong subway station (number 224). Walk out exit number 5, and you will see the Samsun Hospital building not far down the street.

Kwang An Li - Namcheon Pharmacy
If you live in Nam Cheon Dong, and near Kwang An Li beach, there is an English speaking pharmacist who will fill your scripts, explain them carefully, and answer any questions. Take your body and/or prescription to the "Mi Rae Pharmacy". This drugstore is located at the entrance to the Nam Choen Subway entrance number 3.. It is a large store, the entrance has a short flight of steps off the sidewalk in front of the subway entrance. Ask for Mr. Park Seong Hyeon... actually, you don't need to ask, he is the guy who brings you your medicines.. His Cell Phone (use only for emergency/need help in English) is: 016-545-7252. His email address is: [email protected]

Namcheon Medical Supply Store
Across the street from where the buses stop (after leaving Kyungsung Dae-Pukyoung Dae), in front of the "Pizza Yes" restaurant and the pet store that specializes in terrier/snauzer dogs [the busses are on their way towards the KBS building,towards Hae Un Dae], is a medical supply store who's owner speaks excellent English. He has great discounts, especially on hardware like medical TENS/accupuncture/pain relief units, he gives good advice, and he can sell you anything from crutches to braces. His name is Mr. Choe Moon Hwan, but call him "Charley". Phone number: 622-3088, or 622-9992. He is a friendly guy, stop by and say hello.

Dr. Jung Hee - Allergist & Respiratory Specialist - Sassang - Take the subway to Sasang, walk out exit # 5 (Sobu Bus Terminal). Walk straight out of the exit past the KFC and the Lotteria stores. Walk past the next traffic light ( You will see an LG25 store on the corner), then keep walking past the next traffic light (you will find a branch of the Korea First Bank...KFB...at the light). About 40 meters further on you will see Dr. Jung's signs on the building-front over the sidewalk; they are the only ones with the "medical cross" (+) on the top . Turn left into the stairwell, between the pharmacy and the beauty shop. His office is on the second floor, across from the barber shop. See photo of office entrance

He speaks good English, and you can go to him with any sort of problem. If he can not help you, he will immediately make you an appointment with someone else who can (and who also speaks English), and then he will show you how to go there. He is a miracle worker, provides thorough allergy testing and remarkably successful remedies.
Dr. Jung's specialty is anything to do with the lungs, especially allergies and smokers. Got a cough? Go see him!-

heir clinic is on the 2nd floor. Go out exit 10 at Pomildong subway, and turn left toward the market area. The door to the clinic is between two jewellery shops. These two doctors not only speak very good English, but they were prepared to spend much more time with me than would have been the case in my own country. The receptionists do only speak just a little English, but they are very welcoming. If you want good stress management, visit this clinic. Ph 644-4700. If you want personal referral from me, my h.p. is 019 463-0582.
