About the clinic
Gibbeum General Hospital in Seoul, Republic of Korea, provides specialized care for gastritis. A gastroscopy with biopsy may cost around $400, while a colonoscopy is typically $400–$800 and an abdominal MRI runs around $800–$2,300. The hospital is known for its AI Endoscopy Center, which has performed 150,000+ procedures for patients from 56+ countries.
Expert medical leadership
Dr. Park Hyo-jin leads the internal medicine department. Dr. Park Hyo-jin is a specialist in gastroenterology and previously served as the head of the endoscopy unit at Gangnam Severance Hospital. With a career spanning over 30 years, Dr. Park Hyo-jin has chaired the Korean Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility. This experience helps in managing both simple and chronic cases of gastritis.
Advanced diagnostic options
The hospital uses an AI-powered system for precise internal examinations. This technology helps doctors find even small changes in the stomach lining. Diagnostic steps include:
- Gastroscopy with biopsy. This uses the Olympus EVIS X1 system to detect inflammation or polyps.
- H. pylori testing. Doctors check for this bacteria during a biopsy to determine the cause of chronic gastritis.
- Abdominal MRI. This imaging provides a detailed view of the abdominal cavity.
- Colonoscopy. This procedure is available as part of a one-stop check-up on the same day as a gastroscopy.
- Abdominal ultrasound. This non-invasive test helps rule out other digestive issues.
Gastritis treatment and therapy
Treatment focuses on reducing stomach acid and healing the gastric mucosa. The hospital offers a one-stop service where patients can receive results and start therapy quickly. Most treatments are performed on an outpatient basis. Medical plans include:
- H. pylori eradication. This involves a specific course of antibiotics to remove bacterial infections.
- Acid suppression therapy. Doctors prescribe medication to lower stomach acid levels and protect the stomach lining.
- Prokinetic therapy. This medication helps improve the movement of the digestive system.
- Sedation management. Anesthesiologists monitor patients during endoscopic procedures to ensure comfort.
Gibbeum General Hospital holds certification from the Ministry of Health & Welfare as a surgical-specialized general hospital. Patients who wish to evaluate their digestive health or manage chronic stomach pain can request a consultation on Bookimed.

If it is not possible to assist a Russian-speaking client, simply say that you cannot, rather than assuring them that everything will be exceptional and a translator will accompany them. This way, the client won't travel from afar, wasting money and time. I was assured of full support, but there was no translator on site. No organization whatsoever. As a result, I was left to face the language barrier alone at the most critical moment. Now I feel much worse than I anticipated.
If there is no possibility to assist a Russian-speaking client, you should simply state that we cannot provide the service, instead of assuring them that everything will be top-notch and that a translator will be present! This way, the client will not travel from afar and waste money and time on the journey and preparation.
