Guide / 10 departments / 10 centers

Whether you know the diagnosis
or not, that is fine.

If you come with a diagnosis, enter through a department. If you only have symptoms, enter through a center. Two different doors that meet inside the same building.

Two ways in

One hospital,
two different doors in.

Hospital websites are hard for one reason. They show the same path to people who already know their diagnosis and to people who only have symptoms. Kwangdong Hospital opens a separate path for each.

Known Diagnosis

“I was told
I have reflux esophagitis.”

If you already have a diagnosis, what you need is not an explanation but a destination. Find the department and its specialist directly by diagnosis. All ten departments are on one screen.

Symptom Only

“I feel dizzy,
but they say nothing is wrong.”

If you only have symptoms, department names do not help. We build the entrance from the exact words patients use, and that sentence becomes the first line of the center you arrive at. Twelve symptom groups branch into departments and centers at once.

Find by diagnosis

Ten departments,
and the centers they lead to.

A department is a beginning, not an end. Beside each one we list the center your care continues to when it needs to go deeper. No path stops at the department.

Not knowing which department
to see is normal.

Care by symptomPatients do not search for “neurology.” They search for “dizzy.” We put that sentence right at the entrance.

How care flows

Whichever door you enter,
the steps are the same.

Start from a department or from a center, you go through the same five steps. You never leave the building for a test or a consultation.

01Symptoms first

We listen to what is bothering you now, not the diagnosis. Since when, and in what situations.

02Specialist consultation

Among your symptoms, we decide what to check first. We choose tests rather than add them.

03Only the tests you need

Blood, imaging, endoscopy or functional tests, only as needed. Finished the same day on two basement floors.

04Department · Center handoff

If another department is needed, you go to another floor, not another hospital. One route from B2 to 10F.

05Treatment · Rehabilitation · Follow-up

We record the outcome and set the next check together. It does not end with a report.

After the checkup

A checkup does not end
when you receive the report.

When there is an abnormal finding, knowing where to go next is part of the checkup. At Kwangdong Hospital, the person who read your results and the person who treats you are in the same building.

Before you know the diagnosis,
from the start.
