Overview
Where is Oaro Dermatology Clinic in relation to Cheongdam?
Cheongdam is the quieter, luxury-retail end of Apgujeong in Seoul's Gangnam district, home to flagship boutiques, Galleria Department Store and many of the city's most established dermatology clinics. Oaro Dermatology Clinic sits on the 8th floor of Cheongdam Tower, a landmark office building on Dosan-daero, the wide avenue that links Sinsa Station in the west with Cheongdam in the east. Dosan Park, a popular meeting point, is a few minutes' walk away, and the Apgujeong Rodeo shopping street and K-Star Road are to the north.
If you are staying in a Cheongdam or Apgujeong hotel, the clinic is usually a five-minute taxi ride or a 10 to 20 minute walk. Show the driver "청담타워, 도산대로" (Cheongdam Tower, Dosan-daero) and the building is well known. The nearest subway is Apgujeong Rodeo on the Suin-Bundang Line, about eight minutes on foot; Sinsa on Line 3 is a longer but direct walk along Dosan-daero, and Cheongdam on Line 7 is reachable on foot or by a short taxi.
What a board-certified dermatologist near Cheongdam offers
The clinic is co-directed by Dr. Chang-hyun Kim and Dr. Ji-ho Park, both board-certified dermatologists; their credentials are on the doctors page. Dr. Kim is an Ulthera Certified Treatment Provider and Thermage FLX Master Certified, which matters if you are in the area for Ultherapy or Thermage lifting. The clinic also handles medical dermatology, so a rash picked up while travelling can be treated at the same visit.
