Kwangdong Hospital has stood at the same address in Samseong-dong, Gangnam, since 1994. It is close to COEX, so it is easy to fit a visit around a stay in the area.
Address
612 Bongeunsa-ro (Samseong-dong), Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The hospital is run by the Gasan Medical Foundation.
By subway
Take Line 9 to Bongeunsa Station and leave by Exit 5. The hospital is about one minute's walk from the exit.
By car
Underground parking is on B3 and B4, and valet parking is available. If you are on the Global Premium Checkup, pickup from the airport is part of the program, so you do not need to arrange transport yourself.

Inside the building
Testing, treatment, wards and recovery are all in one building, from B2 to 10F. Checkup patients and general patients use separate elevators, so the two routes do not cross. On the 1st floor a coordinator welcomes first-time visitors.
Booking from abroad
Book by messaging a coordinator: WhatsApp for English, Russian and Chinese, or LINE from Japan and Taiwan. Coordinators speak English, Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Mongolian. If you are not sure which department or checkup fits, say so. The first conversation is about deciding that together.
