INTERNIST, QUALITY CARE PRACTICE 

Yeun H. Nam, MD, PhD is a well-established and respected Internist who has been practicing in Sanbon, South Korea since 1994. Over the years I have developed a large practice, yet continue to treat each person individually. I believe you will benefit from a stable, one-on-one relationship with the same physician over a period of years. I emphasize a commitment, not only to short-term resolution of problems, but also to long-term management of your health. My practice places a priority on delivering high quality care utilizing preventative medicine and patient education, as well as incorporating the newest medical advances into your health care plan.



I know that sometimes the most important skills I can provide is to listen to you, to better understand not only the medical issues you may have, but also how those issues and others are impacting you both physically and emotionally.



You are important, not only as a patient, but as a person, and I, Dr. Nam will seek your input into certain health care decisions. You will be treated with courtesy and respect and I am open to your suggestions as to how to better care for you.  I understand the value of your time and keep waiting times to a minimum. I strive to educate you about your health so you will better understand the need for certain tests, medications (and their side effects), or lifestyle changes. If at any time you have questions regarding your care, I want you to feel comfortable asking them.  I believe there is no such thing as a "dumb" question, if it is a concern you have.



I understand that your health and that of family members is very important. I also know that you need to have trust and confidence in your physician. I have a deep sense of responsibility toward my patients because of this and will always be their advocate. I look forward to the opportunity to serve as your physician for many years to come.
