Question : As a pregnant woman abroad, how can I select the best OB-GYN in Seoul?
Answer from Adele Vitale, expert in Family Life
Language is often the major problem expats encounter when seeking health care in a country other than their own, so first and foremost, you want your doctor to be able to communicate in English, or for the clinic to provide translation services. Luckily, there are several English-speaking ob-gynos in Seoul. Then comes a matter of personal preference and/or convenience: do you prefer a male or female doctor? Somebody nearby or not necessarily so? Most importantly, you want a doctor who makes you feel comfortable and matches your style as relates to medical interventions during childbirth, and the only way to find out is by meeting a few doctors and asking the right questions. There are also online groups where mothers and mothers-to-be exchange information and recommendations about ob-gynos and birthing facilities, but we recommend you make your final decision based on your personal feelings and instinct.
