Yuseong Sun Medical Center (유성선병원) is a general hospital (종합병원) in Jijok-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, owned by the Younghun Medical Foundation (의료법인 영훈의료재단) — the Sun Medical Center group, whose sibling Daejeon Sun Medical Center (대전선병원, Jung-gu) is a separate, independently-priced campus of the same foundation. The hospital's own site dates the current Yuseong-gu campus to July 2007 (a 100-bed opening per corroborating press coverage), growing through subsequent expansions (신관 증축 in 2017 and 2019) into its present scale; the foundation's broader Sun Hospital lineage traces further back (a 선정형외과의원 clinic in 1966, the Daejeon campus in 1982, an earlier-generation Yuseong Sun Hospital opening under the newly formed Younghun foundation in 1985). Its own history page cites an internal, 2016/2017-dated '800병상' (800-bed) figure that could not be corroborated and appears stale; the licensed bed count used here (329) instead comes from the hospital's current KOIHA acute-care accreditation record (cert. 4-86, valid 2023-2027, directory-verified via 소비자24), which lists '허가병상수 329' against this exact campus address — the strongest available primary figure. The hospital runs 28 clinical departments per its own site (가정의학과, 소화기내과, 심장내과, 신경외과, 정형외과, 영상의학과, 치과 등) organized under named centers for cancer, cardio-cerebrovascular disease, digestive disease, spine/joint orthopedics, dentistry, and regional emergency care, plus the group's International Health Screening Center (국제검진센터), which is physically located on this campus. Its equipment roster (per its own 첨단의료장비 page) includes a da Vinci Xi surgical robot, a 3.0T Siemens MRI, a 256-channel dual-source CT, PET-CT, SPECT, and RapidArc radiotherapy — though the hospital's mandated 비급여 (non-covered fee) disclosure table carries no general diagnostic-CT chapter, suggesting routine CT here is billed as NHIS-covered rather than as an out-of-pocket line item.

79 Google reviews
Excellent for a hospital
Top 15%
better than ~85% of hospitals
A hospital's stars run far lower than shops or restaurants — reviews are written amid illness, big bills and stress, and unhappy patients review the most. The average hospital scores just 2.85★ on Google, so This hospital's 3.6★ sits near the top of the range.
Rating is Google's, shown as reported (79 reviews). The "top %" is an estimate from peer-reviewed hospital-rating studies (Canadian nationwide 2018–19, n=167, mean 2.85★; US hospitals, median 3.0★) — we score against the hospital distribution, not the naive 0–5 scale.
Patients rate Yuseong Sun Medical Center 3.6★ across 79 Google reviews — excellent for a hospital, better than roughly 85% of hospitals on our worldwide rating benchmark.

Consistent with the hospital's own greeting page, which cites '2023년 9월 4주기 병원 의료기관 인증평가에서 우수한 평점으로 병원 인증을 획득' (Sept 2023, 4th-cycle accreditation with an excellent score) — a roughly one-month gap between the hospital's informally cited award month and the registry's formal validity start date, typical for this scheme; the registry date is used as authoritative.

Traveling to Daejeon, South Korea
Sourced Full South Korea guide →South Korea crossed the 1-million mark as a medical-travel destination for the first time in 2024: about 1.17 million foreign patients were treated, up 93.2% from 610,000 in 2023 (Ministry of Health and Welfare / KHIDI). The largest patient groups came from Japan, China, the United States, Thailand and Taiwan, and the most-used specialties were dermatology, plastic surgery, internal/general medicine and health screening. Seoul concentrates most volume, drawing patients for aesthetic and dermatologic care, health check-ups, oncology and advanced surgery delivered in JCI-accredited hospitals with dedicated international-patient centers — at prices below the US while the government regulates and publishes standards through KHIDI's Medical Korea program.
- Visa
- Most Western nationalities (US, UK, EU/Schengen, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan) enter visa-free for short medical or tourist visits. The K-ETA (electronic travel authorization) requirement is temporarily WAIVED for 67 countries and territories through 31 December 2026 — eligible travellers enter without applying for a K-ETA; the requirement is expected to resume 1 January 2027. Confirm your nationality's current rule before travelling.
- Medical / long-stay visa
- For treatment, foreign patients typically use the C-3-3 medical tourism visa (short-term, stays up to 90 days, generally not extendable beyond 90 days except in special circumstances). For treatment or recovery longer than 90 days, patients change to or apply for the G-1-10 long-term medical treatment visa, which can be extended inside Korea; it requires hospital documentation (medical opinion, treatment schedule, payment records). Applications must be tied to a medical institution registered with KTO/KHIDI.
- Arrival
- From 1 January 2026, all foreign arrivals must file the mandatory digital e-Arrival Card online (within 3 days before arrival) — it replaces the paper disembarkation card and is a declaration, not a visa. Travellers who hold an approved K-ETA are exempt from the arrival card, but nationals of K-ETA-waived countries (US, UK, EU, Japan, etc.) must still complete the e-Arrival Card.
- Currency
- South Korean Won (KRW, ₩)
- Languages
- Korean; English widely spoken in international-patient centers at major hospitals, with interpreter services in multiple languages
- Safety & recourse
- Very safe for visitors · Established malpractice recourse
General guidance — confirm current rules for your nationality with official sources. Verified against: Korea Immigration — K-ETA temporary exemption extended to 31 Dec 2026 (MOFA/KPMG GMS alert) · Korea e-Arrival Card mandatory from 1 Jan 2026 · Medical Korea — medical visa (C-3-3 / G-1-10), KHIDI · MOHW — Korea attracts 1.17 million foreign patients in 2024.
