Find clinics and hospitals in Korea using Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registry data. Plastic surgery, dermatology, dentistry, eye surgery, orthopedics and more, with how many board-certified specialists each clinic actually has, what it treats, and what public reviews say.
Korea treats several hundred thousand foreign patients a year, and almost all of the English-language information about it is published by clinics themselves or by agencies paid to introduce patients to them. This directory is neither. It is editorial, and it states plainly what it does not know.
Board-certified specialist counts, physician counts, registered address and opening year for every clinic listed.
Recurring themes across public patient reviews, summarised into six categories. Individual reviews are not reproduced.
Every clinic listed here is registered with the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Doctor counts, board certification, address and opening year come from HIRA public data. Review themes are derived from public Google and Naver reviews.
Nothing here is medical advice. A directory entry is not a recommendation, and the absence of a clinic is not a judgment about it. Prices are market ranges observed across clinics, never quotes. Confirm everything directly with the provider before you commit money or travel.
The length of your trip is set by the mandatory follow-up interval, not by how quickly you feel well, and flying too early raises the risk of swelling, bleeding and thrombosis.
Foreign patients without Korean national health insurance pay the full private rate, which is still typically 30 to 70 percent below US pricing for the same procedure, and card payment is accepted almost everywhere.
