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

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.
