How Do International Patients Book a Consultation?

International patients can book a consultation at Miri Clinic in Gangdong, Seoul by using the clinic's online booking page, by phone, or through its messaging and map channels. The clinic lists several routes, so you can choose the one that is most comfortable for you. This article explains each route, how to match your visit to the opening hours, and how to find the clinic once you are in Seoul. The clinic's own online booking page is the natural starting point.

Which booking channels does the clinic offer?

The clinic lists four contact routes: an online booking page, a telephone line, a KakaoTalk channel and a Naver listing with its own Naver booking page. You only need one of them to request a consultation. Pick the channel you already use or find easiest to navigate.

• Online booking: the clinic's website has a reservation page, which is the simplest place to begin if you are still abroad and planning ahead.
• Telephone: the clinic's number is 02-470-1175. From overseas, add Korea's country code and drop the leading zero of the area code.
• KakaoTalk channel: the clinic runs a KakaoTalk channel with a chat function. It is useful if you already have the app, which is widely used in Korea.
• Naver Place and Naver booking: the clinic has a Naver Place listing and a Naver booking page. Naver is a Korean search and map service, and its pages are mostly in Korean, so this route may suit people who read some Korean or who are already living in the country.

The clinic's materials mention that visitors who live in Korea can find English and Chinese guidance for foreign patients. If you need information in a particular language before you book, ask about it when you first make contact rather than assuming it will be available.

What should I tell the clinic when I request a consultation?

When you request a consultation, tell the clinic which concern or treatment area you want to discuss and which dates you could visit. A short, clear message makes it easier for staff to find a suitable time. You do not need to decide on a treatment in advance, because the consultation is where the direction is chosen.

The clinic describes its approach as one that looks at skin condition, skin thickness and overall impression before suggesting a direction, and it does not put results ahead of the process. It also says the direction is set carefully after consultation and checking. That means a first message can be simple, for example naming whether you are interested in brightening, lifting, injectables, skin boosters, hair removal, acne care or body treatments, all of which appear among the clinic's listed areas.

It helps to include the following in your message:

• The concern you would like to talk about, in your own words.
• The dates or days of the week when you will be in Seoul.
• Any question about language support, which you should ask directly.
• A request to explain costs, since prices are not set out in this article.

Suitability, results and recovery differ from person to person, and they are explained at the consultation after your skin and goals have been reviewed.

When is the clinic open, and how do I plan my visit around it?

The clinic is open on weekdays and Saturday mornings, with different hours on different days, and it is closed on Sundays and public holidays. Checking the day-by-day schedule before you choose a date helps you avoid arriving outside opening time. These are the listed hours:

• Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 10:00 to 19:00.
• Tuesday: 10:00 to 20:00.
• Thursday: 14:30 to 20:00.
• Saturday: 10:00 to 15:00.
• Sunday and public holidays: closed.
• Lunch break: 13:00 to 14:00, except on Saturday.

Thursday opens later in the day, so it suits an afternoon or evening visit, while Tuesday runs the latest of the morning-start days. If you are travelling, remember that Korean public holidays can fall on weekdays and the clinic closes on them. Confirm your date when you book instead of relying on the general schedule alone. The location and hours page shows the current details.

How do I find the clinic in Seoul?

The clinic is in Gangdong, Seoul, on Olympic-ro, in the Yegyeong Building, fourth floor, unit 1. The building is in front of exit 2 of Cheonho Station and is described as the Starbucks building. If you are using public transport, head for Cheonho Station and take that exit, then look for the Starbucks sign on the building.

For a map app, searching the clinic's name with the Cheonho branch name, or using the Naver Place listing, can help you locate the entrance. Korean map apps tend to give more reliable walking directions in Seoul than some international ones, so it is worth having one available. Allow a little extra time on your first visit to find the right floor.

What about costs and payment questions?

Prices are not given here, and you should ask the clinic about pricing when you book or at the consultation. The clinic's materials note that prices for each treatment are shown on its treatment pages and that cosmetic treatments carry a separate value-added tax. Because costs depend on what is planned for you, the consultation is the place to have them explained clearly.

You may also want to browse the clinic's treatments overview before you write, so your first message can name the area you are curious about. If something is unclear, ask staff to explain it before you decide anything.
