International Patient Center

Treatment in Seoul for patients from the United States

US patients usually start with a free virtual consultation, then fly to Seoul (about 11 to 14 hours from the West Coast) for treatment at our Gangnam clinic. Our founder also leads MS Clinic in Los Angeles, which makes follow-up closer to home easier. Check current K-ETA or visa rules for your trip.
