One of the best hospitals in Korea, their service is very convenient and staff are professional and nice. The international health care center located in the 4th floor of the new building provide the best and fastest medical service I've ever had in Korea.
Dr Oh TaeSeok is the best there is.

Cannot share details due to possible lawsuit. Only can recommend the cleft/plastic surgeon. Dr Oh TaeSeok is the best there is. Other than him, we now go elsewhere for medical treatments.
