    Russian Couple

    Our family used to have regular annual checkups in Europe, but after coming across Chaum Medical Center, we started to travel to Seoul for all our checkups. Through the medical examinations offered at Chaum the doctors provided a diagnosis of the current diseases, I’ve suffered from, as well as potential ailments that may one day arise. They also gave me advice and guidance on disease prevention.

    I was staying in a well-equipped room that the medical team came to for my checkup. The onsite interpreter allowed for clear communication with the doctors. Thanks to the services offered at Chaum, a checkup that would have taken two to three days at other hospitals only took about 5 hours. Afterwards I was provided a free meal, and enjoyed the ‘Thera Spa’ while my wife went for to the Evercell program.

    Our time at Chaum was restful and worry free, contrary to the usual stress of most doctors and hospitals. I am very satisfied with all the services that I received at Chaum, and I appreciate all the members of the staff for their caring and generous support.

    Chinese man

    I am from China and I remember Chaum quite fondly.

    What brought me to Chaum was a recommendation from a specialist in China.

    At first, was that Chaum only specialized in beauty care; however, I came to learn that it provides multiple healthcare services such as anti-aging examinations, dielectric examinations, and atrophogenic checkups. These unique services informed me of my body’s precise condition.

    In particular, I remember that I was shocked at the amount of heavy metals accumulated in my body. However, I was fortunate to learn about the personalized therapeutic methods available at Chaum. These methods had been designed by the specialists in accordance with my health checkup results. After the visit, I changed my lifestyle and have been keeping my health well.

    Since I heard that it is more effective to put healthier lifestyle into practice with a family member, I took my family to Chaum, and now we go to Chaum together for our family's healthcare.
    I would like to thank Chaum for advising me about a healthier lifestyle.

    I had been seeing doctors in the U.S. and Germany for regular checkups and medical treatment. One day, I heard that the medical system in Korea was very advanced, so I decided to visit Seoul with my mother for a medical checkup before my wedding.

    There was a private room as well as patient gowns which were specially designed for women from Islamic countries. Moreover, I was very impressed by Chaum’s consideration of Islamic culture; there were prayer rooms fully furnished with the Koran, carpets, and a compass. I wish I could've heard about Chaum earlier. After receiving an Anti-Aging examination, I made appointments for follow up treatments.
    I hope all are well until we meet again when I come back to Korea in six months.
