Himedi is a medical tourism concierge that connects you with vetted hospitals and clinics in Korea for health checkups, aesthetics, dentistry, and vision care for your personalized medical itinerary.

Disclaimer: Himedi is not a medical provider and does not offer medical services or treatments directly. We act as a concierge and connector, helping individuals access top doctors, clinics, and hospitals - primarily in South Korea. All medical consultations, diagnoses, and procedures are carried out by licensed healthcare professionals.

We do not make any claims to cure, treat, or prevent any medical conditions. All health-related decisions should be made in consultation with qualified medical providers.

Himedi goes through a meticulous vetting process to ensure that only the best offerings make it into our recommendations. This thorough filtering ensures that our clients receive top-tier medical or cosmetic experiences from the most trusted providers in the community.

Himedi does NOT charge a fee to our customers, there is no additional payment required for you to inquire and communicate with us.

You only pay for the services you book from our partners.

Our listed price covers only the diagnostic exam. Any treatments or procedures that may be recommended after the exam are not included in this price. You will only pay for additional treatments if you decide to proceed.

Hospitals and health screening centers in South Korea offer comprehensive health check-up programs. With over 30 screens, examinations use advanced medical equipment to detect any anomalies in your body.

Regular medical check-ups should be part of your personal care routine, ideally conducted once a year. This is especially important for men over 40 and women over 30.

These 3 to 4 hour tests can identify harmful symptoms early and ensure accurate diagnoses. The check-ups can also alert you to potential diseases or health issues and indicate if you have imbalances in your biometrics that can be corrected through diet and healthy habits.

Exam results can take up to 3 weeks. Results will be provided by email.

The journey with Himedi continues even after you have completed your treatment in Korea and returned to your home country.

We understand the importance of maintaining continuity in medical services, recognizing that it may not always be feasible for you to revisit Korea. 

If you require the medication prescribed during your time in Korea, Himedi will ensure its delivery directly to your location. Additionally, you have the option to receive post-care services through telemedicine with the Korean specialist involved in your care.

If you would like to receive image files from any imaging tests, you may receive them via email upon request.

Medication Collection Information

Before the examination date, you must receive the bowel preparation medication for the colonoscopy. Kits will be made available to you approximately 3 days to 1 week before your appointment.

You can usually resume your normal activities right after your exam. If your exam involves sedation, you'll likely need a few hours to recover fully from the effects of the sedation. It's generally recommended to rest for the remainder of the day, avoid driving, and refrain from making important decisions.

Yes! You can get treatment on the same day as your diagnostic appointment and consultation. This actually applies to all of our services (does not apply for accommodation) unless we let you know otherwise. For treatments that need long-term planning or multiple sessions, we’ll let you know in advance so you can make an informed decision.

Absolutely. The decision to proceed with any treatment is entirely optional. Many clients come just for the diagnostic exam and the peace of mind it provides. You can always opt in for recommended procedures at a later date if you prefer.

Our business model is built around providing a thorough diagnostic exam before recommending any procedures. This ensures that any treatment you receive is truly necessary and appropriate. However, if you have a specific treatment in mind, you can submit a direct request and we’ll do our best to guide you.

We’ll guide you through the steps of your first visit, providing essential details on when to go, how to get there, and what to bring. Rest assured, we work with English-speaking staff at the clinics who will assist you during your appointment to ensure clear communication with your medical team.

We do not add tax to the cost of your exam.
