How Apgujeong Health works

An English guide to clinics around Apgujeong, Cheongdam, Sinsa and Nonhyeon, with a booking service on WhatsApp for international patients.

Where the information comes from

  • Clinics: the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA, 건강보험심사평가원) hospital register, September 2026 release. It covers every licensed clinic with address, phone, opening date and doctor counts. English names and addresses are our translations.
  • Prices: HIRA's non-covered fee disclosures (비급여 진료비), price lists clinics publish themselves, and Korean price-comparison services. Each price shows its source and the month we checked it.
  • Treatment facts: device makers' documentation, Korean regulators (MFDS, KDCA) and clinical references, written in plain English.

What we do not do

  • We do not rank clinics or call any clinic the best. Clinic pages describe registered facts only.
  • We do not publish patient testimonials or before-and-after photos, in line with Korea's Medical Service Act (의료법 제56조).
  • Clinic listings are not paid placements. A clinic appearing here does not mean we have a booking arrangement with it.

Corrections

Clinics move, prices change and the HIRA register updates monthly. If something on a page is wrong, message us on WhatsApp and we update it, usually within a few days.

Medical disclaimer

Pages on this site are general information. They do not replace a consultation with a doctor, who decides what is suitable for you. In an emergency in Korea call 119.
