Dr. Kim Hoon-yub is a endocrinologist practising at Korea University Anam Hospital in Seoul. Clinic-Y does not employ doctors. We match cases to specialists and hold the hospital to one written package price.
Focus areas
Dr. Kim Hoon-yub is listed in Endocrinologist . Your case is matched to a specialist by diagnosis rather than by popularity, so the fit between your condition and their day-to-day caseload is what decides the recommendation.
Experience
Practising since 2010, Dr. Kim Hoon-yub has around 16 years of clinical experience in endocrinologist work. Volume matters more than titles: a specialist who performs your procedure regularly will usually manage the unexpected better than one who does it occasionally.
Credentials on file
- Korean Society of Surgical Oncology
- American Thyroid Association
Communication and language
A Clinic-Y medical interpreter attends every consultation, consent discussion and discharge briefing, so the conversation happens in your own language regardless of the specialist you see.
Patient ratings
Dr. Kim Hoon-yub has no independently verified review score on file yet. That is common for specialists newly listed on international platforms and is not a mark against them; it simply means the rating column is empty rather than low.
Consultation options
The first face-to-face consultation takes place on your first day in Seoul, before anything is scheduled. In either case the specialist confirms or honestly revises the remote plan, and nothing proceeds until you agree.
Where treatment takes place
Dr. Kim Hoon-yub treats Clinic-Y patients at Korea University Anam Hospital and has 1,055 inpatient beds. Clinic-Y books surgical cases only into full-service hospitals with intensive care on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I request this specialist by name?
Yes, provided your case is clinically suitable. If another specialist in the network is a better fit for your diagnosis, we will tell you and explain why.
Is a second opinion possible?
Yes, and it is free. Clinic-Y can send the same file to a second partner specialist and give you both written assessments.
What does the consultation cost?
The remote case review is free. Any in-person consultation fee is stated in your written plan before you travel, and in most packages it is already included.
