What we check
| Fact | Source |
|---|---|
| Institution type, doctor count, specialists | HIRA, Korea’s Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service |
| Address, nearest subway exit, walking time | Naver Map and Kakao Map |
| Hours, contact channels, languages | The clinic’s own website and map listings |
| Prices | The clinic’s own published price list; the Korean non-insured fee notice wins when the two disagree |
How facts are labelled
- Verified facts are stated plainly with their source and check date.
- The clinic’s own claims (for example “English-speaking staff”) are attributed: “the clinic says…”.
- Facts we could not confirm are left out or shown as “not published”.
What we never publish
- ratings, patient reviews, testimonials or before-and-after photos
- “best” or “No. 1” claims without published criteria
- promised results
Updates
Prices are re-checked at their end date or every 90 days, whichever comes first; HIRA data, hours and contact details every 180 days. Every page shows its last verification date. Clinics can ask for corrections.
Who runs this directory
The team behind this directory also makes websites and video guides for clinics in Korea, including clinics listed here, and each of those listings says so. Clinics cannot buy a better position: lists are alphabetical, and no listing carries ratings or reviews.
