Step-by-Step Guide
Seamless Process: From Appointment to Follow-Up
1. Appointment Request & Confirmation
Once your appointment request is submitted, a confirmation will be sent to you within approximately one week. Please review the confirmed date and time carefully and contact us if any adjustments are required.
2. Preparation Before Your Visit (Approx. 2 Weeks Prior)
You will receive a preparation package including:
- Medical questionnaires

We kindly ask that you complete all required forms in advance and carefully follow the preparation guidelines to ensure accurate examination results.
3. Day of Your Examination
On the day of your visit:
- Your examinations will be conducted according to your selected course
- A physician will provide a same-day explanation of key findings
If further medical evaluation is recommended, we will coordinate a referral to:

- or other appropriate medical institutions, depending on your needs
Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition from screening to clinical care when necessary.

A comprehensive written report will be sent to you approximately three weeks after your examination.
This report may include:
- Additional findings not covered during the same-day consultation
- Detailed explanations and medical data

5. Follow-Up Examinations for Recommended Patients (3-6 Months After Initial Visit)
For certain findings, additional examinations may be recommended within 3 to 6 months. We strongly encourage you to complete these follow-ups at an appropriate medical facility to ensure continuity of care.
