Acupuncture Clinics in Ansan, Korea: 5 Clinics Compared by Reviews, Hours, and Location

Key Takeaways

If you are a foreign patient planning a visit in Ansan, the main thing to know is that language support varies by clinic and cannot be assumed: the supplied data confirms phone numbers and hours for these five clinics but says nothing about English-speaking staff, interpreters, or an international patient desk. Call the clinic or check its booking page to confirm whether anyone can consult with you in English before you travel. Bring your passport or ARC, a list of your medications and previous treatment records, and the Korean name and address of the clinic so you can show them to a taxi driver or at the front desk.

If you are looking for an acupuncture clinic in Ansan, the only one of the five below whose supplied address is actually in Ansan is 365더힘찬한의원 (365 Deo Himchan Korean Medicine Clinic) in Sangnok-gu. It has 6 Naver visitor reviews, which mention receiving acupuncture for back, neck, and shoulder pain as well as the doctor's explanation of the treatment and the staff's service. Because the review count is relatively small, it is better to check opening hours and your own travel constraints rather than judging by this clinic alone.

Ranked by review volume, 인술명인한의원 (Insul Myeongin Korean Medicine Clinic) in Gunpo has 171 Naver visitor reviews, 82 blog reviews, 4 Kakao reviews, and 6 Google reviews. Reviews describe visits for back discomfort and personal experiences with acupuncture. Note, however, that this clinic is in Gunpo, not Ansan. Because this comparison also includes clinics in Hwaseong and Gunpo, check the addresses below before shortlisting. Reviews are individual experiences and do not guarantee treatment results.

How We Compared

We collected 504 Naver Place visitor reviews, 6 Kakao Map reviews, and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) registration data to compare five clinics. Per-clinic review figures are the Naver visitor, blog, Kakao, and Google counts as supplied. These numbers are sums of posts by platform; the same person may have posted on several platforms, so they do not represent unique visitors. The supplied summary states that the five selected clinics average 5.0 on Kakao Map, but individual ratings were confirmed for only some of them. We did not fill in missing ratings. Opening hours reflect the supplied data, and lunch breaks and same-day availability require separate confirmation.

더힘찬의료소비자생활협동조합 365더힘찬한의원 (Deo Himchan Medical Consumer Cooperative 365 Deo Himchan Korean Medicine Clinic)

Under the supplied address, this clinic is in I-dong, Sangnok-gu, Ansan. It has 6 Naver visitor reviews, with blog, Kakao, and Google listed at 0 each. No rating and no HIRA data on the number of Korean medicine doctors or on treatment specialties were provided, so it cannot be compared on those figures. Reviews mention treatment for neck and shoulder discomfort, references to acupuncture and Chuna (manual therapy), the doctor's explanation of the treatment, and staff service. Because the sample is small, do not expand these comments into general treatment outcomes.

"It was my first visit, but the kind doctors and director made me feel good when I left after treatment. Everyone cared for me attentively, and my shoulder and neck had been hurting, but they felt much lighter." (Naver review, September 4, 2026)

"I visited for acupuncture because my back hurt. The director carefully pressed on the painful area, placed the needles with care, explained things in detail, and I also received Chuna treatment, which felt refreshing." (Naver review, August 10, 2026)

The address is 경기 안산시 상록구 석호로 43 굿모닝오피스텔 2층 201~208호, listed as 584 m from 한대앞역 (Hanyang University at Ansan Station) Exit 2. Hours are Mon, Tue, Thu, and Fri 09:00–18:00, Wed 09:00–21:00, and Sat and Sun 09:30–15:00. No lunch break information is available. The phone number is 0507-1384-5566. The supplied materials do not cover how to book, whether parking is available, or the same-day registration cutoff, so ask before you visit. If you are considering Wednesday evening or weekend treatment in particular, confirming same-day operation is the practical step. If you want other treatments such as Chuna alongside acupuncture, ask first about availability and cost. As a general cost reference, insured acupuncture under National Health Insurance costs about 4,000–8,000 KRW per session in patient copay, with the first consultation charged separately. Pharmacopuncture is not covered and is referenced at 10,000–50,000 KRW per session, but actual availability and amounts must be confirmed before treatment.

원광한의원 (Wonkwang Korean Medicine Clinic)

원광한의원 (Wonkwang Korean Medicine Clinic) is not in Ansan but in Hyangnam-eup, Manse-gu, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do. It has 71 Naver visitor reviews, 16 blog reviews, and 3 Google reviews, with 0 Kakao reviews. Its HIRA registration lists 1 specialist in Korean medicine obstetrics and gynecology and the specialties of Korean OB-GYN, Sasang constitutional medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, Korean internal medicine, Korean pediatrics, Korean neuropsychiatry, Korean ophthalmology/ENT/dermatology, and Korean rehabilitation medicine. No individual rating was provided. Reviews describe visits for neck and shoulder discomfort, kind care, and advice on managing painful areas. Reviews alone cannot establish the effectiveness of acupuncture.

"I went because my neck, shoulders, and arms hurt so much, and after just one treatment it felt hugely better." (Naver review, February 25, 2026)

"They also give good advice on how to take care of the painful area." (Naver review, October 17, 2024)

The address is 경기 화성시 만세구 향남읍 행정중앙2로 39 태성메디칼 4층 401호, and the phone number is 031-366-0075. The only hours provided are Wed and Thu 08:30–18:00, so do not assume operation on other days — call to confirm. Lunch breaks, transport access, and parking information were also not provided. Asking about booking availability and the registration cutoff before you visit can save you a wasted trip. If you are considering acupuncture, note that acupuncture and moxibustion is among the registered specialties, but confirm directly with the clinic what hours treatment is actually available and what scope of care applies to your symptoms. Acupuncture costs generally run about 4,000–8,000 KRW per session in patient copay when covered, with a separate first consultation, and pharmacopuncture is referenced in the 10,000–50,000 KRW per-session range as a non-covered item. Covered items and the final amount must be asked about before treatment.

맑은몸한의원 군포점 (Malgeunmom Korean Medicine Clinic, Gunpo Branch)

As the name and address indicate, this clinic is in Gunpo-si, not Ansan. It was provided with 84 Naver visitor reviews, 69 blog reviews, 1 Kakao review, and 1 Google review. The Kakao rating is listed as 5, and there is no HIRA information on the number of Korean medicine doctors or on specialties. Visitor reviews include satisfaction with the medical staff and employees after a visit for back pain, while other reviews express dissatisfaction with waiting, how treatment was handled, and the handover process. Because different experiences appear side by side, asking before you visit is advisable if waiting time or patient flow matters to you.

"I visited because my back hurt. The doctor was kind and the nursing staff were kind as well." (Naver review, February 12, 2026)

Another review left a note of disappointment about waiting and the process: "Treatment and consultation together amounted to about 25 minutes during 1 hour and 15 minutes." (Naver review, September 22, 2026)

The address is 경기 군포시 번영로 572, listed as 676 m from 산본역 (Sanbon Station) Exit 1. Hours are Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, and Fri 09:00–18:00, and Sat 09:00–13:00. No lunch break information is available, and Sunday operation was not provided. The phone number is 0507-1391-4332. Since reviews include waiting-related experiences, confirm whether booking is possible and the expected wait first, and when you register, state clearly where it hurts, how the injury happened, and what treatment you want. Parking and amenities are not in the materials, so you must ask directly. The specific makeup of acupuncture treatment and whether parallel treatments such as cupping are included can depend on the clinical judgment, so confirm through consultation rather than demanding a specific treatment in advance. The reference patient copay for covered acupuncture is about 4,000–8,000 KRW per session, and the first consultation may be separate. Pharmacopuncture is referenced in the non-covered range of 10,000–50,000 KRW per session, so confirm the actual cost.

허니비한의원 (Honeybee Korean Medicine Clinic)

허니비한의원 (Honeybee Korean Medicine Clinic) is in Namyang-eup, Manse-gu, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, so it should be considered separately from clinics located in Ansan. It has 172 Naver visitor reviews, 2 blog reviews, 1 Kakao review, and 4 Google reviews. No individual rating and no HIRA information on doctor count or specialties were provided. Reviews include one from a visitor who was afraid of needles and felt the treatment was less painful than expected, one expressing satisfaction with acupuncture, cupping, and physical therapy, and one describing a visit for numbness in the hands and feet. These are the writers' personal experiences and do not guarantee treatment effects.

"It hasn't been open long so it's clean, and there are two directors — I'm scared of needles but they placed them without hurting. It was my first visit today and I'm satisfied." (Naver review, September 10, 2026)

"The director examines patients thoroughly, and I'm satisfied with the acupuncture, cupping, and physical therapy as well." (Naver review, August 24, 2026)

The address is 경기 화성시 만세구 남양읍 남양중앙로 247 2층, and the phone number is 031-357-7511. Hours are Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, and Fri 10:00–20:00, and Sat 10:00–14:00. Lunch break and Sunday operation were not provided. Booking, Wi-Fi, a waiting area, separate men's and women's restrooms, simple payments, and parking are listed as amenities, but confirm the booking method and parking conditions before you visit. Reviews also mention herbal medicine consultations with booking and waiting experiences, so if you are visiting for acupuncture, it is better to state clearly what treatment you want when booking. Whether acupuncture applies to you and whether cupping or physical therapy can be combined must be confirmed after consultation. As a cost reference, covered acupuncture under National Health Insurance is about 4,000–8,000 KRW per session in patient copay with a possible separate first consultation, and pharmacopuncture is given as a non-covered range of 10,000–50,000 KRW per session. Confirm the actual billed amount and coverage first.

인술명인한의원 (Insul Myeongin Korean Medicine Clinic)

인술명인한의원 (Insul Myeongin Korean Medicine Clinic) is on Gosan-ro in Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, so it is not a clinic in the Ansan area. It has 171 Naver visitor reviews, 82 blog reviews, 4 Kakao reviews, and 6 Google reviews, with a Kakao rating given as 5. HIRA information on doctor count and specialties was not confirmed. Reviews include visits for back discomfort, subjective impressions of feeling comfortable after acupuncture, and opinions about the consultation and service. Its review count is the highest of the five, but it is difficult to judge from review counts or ratings alone whether the care suits you personally.

"It was my first visit. I usually have a herniated disc in my back, and over the holiday I lay down so much that I could barely walk, so I searched nearby and visited — I'm very satisfied! They place needles really well." (Naver review, October 10, 2026)

"After acupuncture I feel refreshed and in a good mood. They always look at me calmly and thoroughly." (Naver review, February 13, 2026)

The address is 경기 군포시 고산로 701 2층, listed as 806 m from 금정역 (Geumjeong Station) Exit 6. Hours are Mon and Wed 09:30–20:00, Tue, Thu, and Fri 09:30–19:00, and Sat 09:30–14:00. No lunch break information is available, and Sunday operation was not provided. The phone number is 031-392-2090. The materials do not cover how to book, whether parking is available, or the same-day registration cutoff, so confirm by phone. Reviews include not only acupuncture experiences but also a personal opinion that the writer was not pressured into treatment or herbal medicine, but you cannot assume every visit will be the same. If you want acupuncture, tell them about your symptoms, any medications you are taking, and the care you are hoping for during the consultation, and ask about expected costs. As a general reference, the patient copay for covered acupuncture is about 4,000–8,000 KRW per session, with a first consultation possibly charged separately. Pharmacopuncture is referenced in the non-covered range of 10,000–50,000 KRW per session, but whether it is performed and what it costs must be confirmed before your visit.

At a Glance

The review counts below are sums of the figures supplied for each platform; because the same person may post more than once, they do not represent unique reviewers. Naver and Google ratings were not provided. Kakao ratings are shown only where the materials listed a value.

Checklist for Choosing an Acupuncture Clinic

• Address and travel distance — First confirm whether the clinic is in Ansan or in a neighboring area such as Hwaseong or Gunpo.
• Hours and registration cutoff — Call to confirm evening and weekend hours and the latest time for same-day registration.
• Symptoms and scope of care — Describe the painful area, when it started, how the injury happened, and the treatment you want.
• Doctors and specialties — Check the published HIRA information along with what treatments are actually available.
• Acupuncture costs — Ask whether the treatment is covered, whether the first consultation is included, and what your expected copay will be.
• Non-covered items such as pharmacopuncture — If pharmacopuncture is recommended or you are considering it, ask about the need for it, the per-session cost, and the number of sessions.
• Expected waiting time — For clinics whose reviews mention waiting, check the time of day and the current wait.
• Booking, parking, and payment — Confirm the booking method, parking conditions, and whether your preferred payment method is accepted.
• Treatment plan and explanation — Make sure the purpose of treatment, the expected course, precautions, and the need for a follow-up visit are explained in a way you understand.

Warning Signs

• Costs and treatment details are not explained clearly — Confirm what is covered versus non-covered and the expected amount before deciding.
• Questions are shut down or you are pushed to choose a treatment — Ask about the purpose of treatment, the alternatives, and precautions, and proceed only once you are satisfied.
• It is hard to confirm what was done or what you will be charged — Ask first about which items, such as acupuncture or pharmacopuncture, apply and what each costs.
• Drawing conclusions about effectiveness from reviews alone — Personal reviews are individual experiences and are no substitute for your own clinical judgment.
