Facility safety standards
Experience with international patients
Language support capabilities
Only clinics and hospitals that meet our standards are listed.
Can I use The Pylon Square if I don't live in Korea?
The Pylon Square welcomes:
Residents of Korea: Effortless access to trusted medical services
Medical tourists: Seamlessly book appointments before your trip and receive dedicated support throughout your journey
We also provide medical tourism visa invitation letter support.
Is there any cost to use The Pylon Square?

For booking appointments:
A reservation deposit of ₩10,000 is required to confirm your appointment.
Treatment costs are paid directly at the hospital or clinic based on the procedures you choose.
How does the reservation deposit work?
To ensure fair appointment opportunities for all patients, we require a 6.5 USD reservation deposit before confirming your visit.
Here's how it works:
Pay the deposit: Submit 6.5 USD when requesting your appointment
Hospital confirms: The hospital reviews your preferred date and time
Get confirmation: You'll receive a confirmation email once approved
Visit & pay: At your appointment, pay the treatment fee minus the ₩10,000 deposit
Example: If your treatment costs ₩200,000, you only pay ₩190,000 at the hospital (since you already paid ₩10,000 as deposit).
