When I first moved to Korea, one of my priorities was finding a good gynecologist for regular check-ups. But before booking an appointment, I had one big question: How much does a gynecological check-up actually cost in Korea?
After researching and asking around in expat groups, I found that prices can vary depending on the clinic, tests, and whether you have insurance. Since I wanted personalized care in a comfortable setting, I booked an appointment at Second Spring Women’s Clinic (www.secondspringwomen.com), led by Dr. Seon-Hwa Jeong (Doctors | Seon-Hwa Jeong).
