Myeongdong St. Mary's Eye Clinic

This specialized ophthalmic hospital is located in the heart of Myeongdong, Seoul, offering extremely convenient access – you can go for a follow-up examination right after shopping. They offer femtosecond laser surgery, and the director personally oversees all examinations and procedures, ensuring patient care that is patient-oriented and meticulous. The prices are transparent, with no hidden fees, making it a highly cost-effective option.

살면서 처음 마주한 무례한 의사 I usually don't leave reviews if I'm not satisfied with a place, but this time I felt compelled to do so. Despite numerous reviews already pointing out the unfriendliness, there seemed to be no intention of improvement. Director Kim Dong-h's treatment was extremely rude. His tone was almost like he was nitpicking, and when I asked him a question, he simply responded, "There's no other way. Should I just close my eyes?" without any explanation or alternatives. (Then, why wouldn't you just stay home and lie down? Why would I pay for treatment and come to the hospital? I thought to myself.) Even after explaining the practical difficulties of his job, he responded with a repetitive, nonsensical response. I was confused as to whether he was providing treatment or engaging in an argument. His attitude, as if his personal feelings and condition were being directly transferred to the patient, was extremely unpleasant. I have absolutely no intention of returning.

First and foremost thank you Director Seungjae Lee and everyone at the clinic. I was experiencing some symptoms during the recovery process after getting a non-medical procedure done elsewhere. As a foreigner it is quite scary to navigate diagnosis and treatment for potential complications. I was feeling quite anxious. I had gone to another ophthalmologist (which was completely fine), but the care I received here was ABOVE and BEYOND. After check-in I was guided through 4 eye scan / examination stations before seeing the doctor. And I really appreciated this because I was hoping for a thorough second opinion. The Director spoke fluent English and put me at ease with his friendly demeanor. I left with all of my questions answered and feeling confident about the recovery process. The examination fee was very reasonable considering how thorough it was! Pharmacy is downstairs and cost of eye cream was also very reasonable. I will consider coming here again if I ever need eye related care while traveling in Asia.

Highly recommend this place. Walked in as a foreigner and got my eyes checked within 20 mins. Costed around 20k-50k KRW. Very helpful and friendly staff.

The director and staff I met were all incredibly kind. The director not only provided excellent care, but also spoke with a warm, almost radiant warmth. The nurses also had wonderful smiles. It was such a departure from other hospitals that I felt refreshed after visiting.

One of most well-reputated ophthalmology hospitals, the ophthalmologist, Dr. Donghae Kim is my mom's friend's husband's friend. hahahaha Anyway I visited there with mom having an issue of Sixth Nerve Palsy. :) The doctor travels a lot of countries for volunteer work globally.
