VEI Clinic hours and directions

VEI Clinic hours

Here are VEI Clinic hours and directions in one place. Our regular opening hours are:

Last appointments are a little before closing time, and longer services such as IV drips or checkups need to start earlier. If you are booking a service that takes more time, mention it so we can suggest a suitable start. Tuesday evenings and Saturdays are our most requested slots, so booking ahead is a good idea.

• Monday: 10:00 to 19:00
• Tuesday: 10:00 to 20:00
• Wednesday: closed
• Thursday: 10:00 to 19:00
• Friday: 10:00 to 19:00
• Saturday: 10:00 to 16:00, no lunch break
• Sunday: closed
• Lunch break: 13:00 to 14:00, Monday to Friday

Public holidays

Korean public holidays, including Lunar New Year (Seollal), Chuseok and single-day national holidays, can change our schedule. Before any public holiday or long weekend, please check with us on WhatsApp (+82-10-5700-7597) before you travel to the clinic.

If you need care on a day we are closed, other local clinics or hospital emergency departments are available. For emergencies, call 119 at any time.

Directions by subway, bus and taxi

Address: VEI Clinic (베이의원), 3F, Beneheim City (the Jamba Juice building), 162 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

By subway: Take Line 3 (the orange line) to Apgujeong Station (압구정역). Leave by Exit 5. The building is about a one-minute walk from the exit. Look for Jamba Juice, then go up to the third floor.

By bus: Many routes stop around Apgujeong Station. Search the address in Naver Map, which shows live bus routes and stops in English and is more accurate in Korea than most global map apps.

By taxi: Show the driver this address: 서울 강남구 압구정로 162, 3층. You can also say "Apgujeong Station, Exit 5" as a landmark. Taxi apps that accept English input will find the address too.

By car: Parking around Apgujeong-ro is limited, especially on Saturdays. Ask about parking when you book.

Inside the station: Apgujeong Station has several exits and connecting passages. Follow the overhead signs for Exit 5; most signs in Seoul's subway include English. If you take a wrong exit, use a map app to walk to 162 Apgujeong-ro, or WhatsApp us and we will guide you.

What to bring

Arriving five to ten minutes early gives time for registration, particularly on your first visit. If you are coming for an IV drip, wear clothing with sleeves that roll up easily. If you need a document for an employer, school or insurer, tell us when you check in so it can be prepared during your visit rather than requested later.

• ID: your ARC (residence card) if you have Korean national health insurance, or your passport if you do not
• A list of medicines you take, or photos of the packaging
• Any recent test results or letters from other doctors, in English or Korean
• Your insurer's claim form if you plan to claim from travel or private insurance
• If blood tests are planned, come fasting as instructed (water is usually fine)

Booking and contacting us

The easiest way to book is a WhatsApp message in English, telling us your name, the reason for your visit and the times that suit you. Our team replies on WhatsApp (+82-10-5700-7597) during opening hours. Walk-ins are welcome, though you may wait if booked patients are ahead of you.

Messages sent outside opening hours are answered when the clinic is next open. Please do not use messaging for anything urgent. If you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, a serious injury or a severe allergic reaction, call 119 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.

About the clinic and who you'll see

VEI Clinic is a doctor-led clinic offering primary care, internal medicine, checkups and diagnostics, vaccinations, IV therapy and medical weight loss. Consultations are 1:1 in English with Dr. HyunSung Park, a board-certified internal medicine specialist and gastroenterology subspecialist who has treated patients in Korea since 2010. He is U.S.-educated, a graduate of the State University of New York, and a former clinical professor at Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital.

We are not an emergency room and do not offer surgery, endoscopy, dentistry or plastic surgery; when needed, we can refer you to a hospital.
