Best Urologists in Seoul: English-Speaking Guide

What urologists treat

Major centers in Seoul run full urology departments with sub-specialties (oncology/robotics, voiding dysfunction, pediatric, female urology, andrology).

  • Example procedure (vasectomy): many private clinics quote ~₩300,000–₩700,000 KRW, with higher quotes at premium hospitals. Confirm inclusions (semen analyses, meds).

How to book (copy-paste checklist)

  1. Share symptoms, any prior tests, and meds. Ask if a referral is needed.
  2. Request: English consultation, itemized estimate, what’s included (tests, imaging, follow-ups).
  3. If choosing a hospital, contact the International Center (phone/email/web form) for appointment help and billing guidance.

When to choose a hospital vs. a clinic

  • Pick a major hospital for complex conditions, cancer workups, or when you need multiple specialties on the same day.
  • Choose a private clinic for straightforward issues (UTIs, prostatitis screens, STI testing/treatment, vasectomy) and faster scheduling with English support
