What kinds of conditions does general medicine cover at your clinic?

[Isabella (Isabellacosta)]

General medicine, often referred to as internal medicine, covers a broad spectrum of non-surgical health issues, making it the first point of contact for most patients. Asking what conditions are treated helps clarify whether the clinic can manage your current symptoms—whether it’s a common cold, digestive discomfort, chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, fatigue, infections, or even stress-related issues. Some clinics may also provide preventive care such as vaccinations, health screenings, and lifestyle counseling. However, certain complex or specialized conditions might require a referral to a cardiologist, dermatologist, endocrinologist, or other specialists. Knowing the scope of services offered under general medicine helps ensure you’re in the right place for your needs and saves time if you might require additional care coordination. This is especially helpful for international patients unfamiliar with how Korean healthcare is structured.
