About This Clinic

English-speaking endocrinologist in Gangnam, Seoul.

Finding a board-certified endocrinologist in Seoul who can communicate fluently in English — and who has the depth of specialist training to manage complex hormonal and metabolic conditions — is one of the most common challenges facing expats and international residents in Korea. Apgujeong Hana Clinic's endocrinology service provides exactly that.

Dr. Shin Hyun-won is a board-certified endocrinologist trained at Samsung Seoul Hospital — one of Korea's leading academic medical centres — with a Medical PhD from Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine. Before joining Apgujeong Hana Clinic, Dr. Shin served as Medical Director at MSD Global Pharmaceuticals, bringing pharmaceutical-level expertise to medication management and evidence-based treatment decisions.

The endocrinology service at Apgujeong Hana Clinic covers the full breadth of hormonal and metabolic medicine — from straightforward TSH abnormalities and Type 2 diabetes management to complex PCOS evaluation, insulin resistance assessment, osteoporosis management and GLP-1 medication prescriptions including Wegovy, Mounjaro and Ozempic. Every consultation, blood result, treatment plan and follow-up communication is provided in English.
