Key Takeaways
If you are a foreign patient planning to visit a clinic in Gangnam-gu (강남구), the practical details vary from clinic to clinic: some may be able to offer English-speaking support at the desk, others may not, and the source data used in this article does not record language capability for any of the five clinics. Booking is usually done by phone or through the clinic's own online booking page, and it helps to bring your passport or ARC, a list of any medicines you currently take, and records of previous treatment for your rhinitis. Always confirm language support, availability and cost directly by phone or on the clinic's booking page before you go.
When comparing herbal medicine clinics (hanuiwon) for rhinitis in Gangnam-gu (강남구), look at publicly available review counts together with the specialties a clinic is registered for. In the data provided, the clinic with the most reviews is Gwonhan Clinic (권한의원), with 308 Naver reviews, 668 Kakao reviews and 5,373 blog posts, and a Kakao rating of 5. Deo Gipeun Hanbang Internal Medicine Clinic (더깊은한방내과 한의원) is listed with 575 Naver reviews, 521 Kakao reviews and 850 blog posts, and a Google rating of 5. However, neither clinic supplied any data on rhinitis treatment outcomes or rhinitis-specific programmes. Gapsan Clinic (갑산한의원) is registered with the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service for Korean medicine internal medicine, ophthalmology/otolaryngology/dermatology, and is listed as having two specialists in that field, so it may be worth a look for readers who put specialty information first. Reviews and ratings do not guarantee treatment results, and it is best to confirm directly whether a clinic actually treats rhinitis before you visit.
How We Compared
Using the collected data provided, we checked 1,301 Naver Place visitor reviews, 1,495 Kakao Map reviews and Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration records. The average Kakao Map rating of the five selected clinics is 4.7. Review counts are given separately for Naver, blog, Kakao and Google, and the total review figure is the sum of the platform numbers. Blog posts are different in nature from visitor reviews, so do not judge satisfaction or quality of care from the total alone. Naver ratings that were not in the source data are marked "not available". In addition, because there was no data on rhinitis treatment volume or outcomes, we have not concluded that any particular clinic treats rhinitis better.
Gachi Clinic (가치한의원)
Gachi Clinic (가치한의원) has 24 Naver reviews, 63 blog posts, 3 Kakao reviews and 0 Google reviews, for a total of 90. The ratings in the source data are 5 on Kakao and 5 on Google, with no Naver rating. Its HIRA-registered specialties include Korean medicine ophthalmology/otolaryngology/dermatology, so it is worth comparing for readers who want to check the registered specialty category. The number of Korean medicine doctors is not in the source data. Reviews describe short waits after booking and consultations where the doctor listened carefully, but no specific feedback on rhinitis treatment is provided.
“It was my first visit. The director and the staff were kind and listened carefully to what patients had to say. I'm leaving after receiving good treatment.” (Naver review, 31 July 2025)
“Everyone in my family is taking the clear herbal decoction and doing well.” (Naver review, 12 March 2026)
The address is 4F Family Building, 50 Dosan-daero 81-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 513 m from Exit 2 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station on the Suin–Bundang Line. The listed hours are Monday, Thursday and Friday 11:00–16:00 and Saturday and Sunday 10:00–15:00. No lunch break is given, and Tuesday and Wednesday hours were not provided, so check before visiting. Booking, parking, valet parking and simple payment are listed as amenities. Confirm booking by phone or on the website, and ask whether rhinitis is treated, what examinations and treatment would involve, and the conditions for parking and valet service. No rhinitis-specific treatment or treatment records could be confirmed in the data, so do not judge rhinitis outcomes from the name of a specialty alone. Phone 02-2203-5003; website: Gachi Clinic homepage (www.vclinic.co.kr).
Gapsan Clinic (갑산한의원)
Gapsan Clinic (갑산한의원) has 67 Naver reviews, 712 blog posts, 201 Kakao reviews and 0 Google reviews, for a total of 980. The ratings provided are Kakao 3.7 and Google 3, with no Naver rating. The HIRA registration lists two specialists in Korean medicine ophthalmology/otolaryngology/dermatology and eight specialty categories, including that one. This is reference information when comparing specialties for rhinitis, but it is not evidence of rhinitis-specialist care or of treatment outcomes. The actual reviews provided centre on tinnitus treatment, so they should not be read as the experience of rhinitis patients.
“Another good treatment session today. The nurses are kind too, which is nice.” (Kakao review, 18 September 2026)
“After a month of treatment the ringing in my ears has quietened down a little. Thank you, doctor. Most of the staff at the clinic are kind as well.” (Kakao review, 21 August 2026)
The address is 4 Gwangpyeong-ro 46-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 265 m from Exit 7 of Suseo Station on the Suin–Bundang Line and GTX-A.

Wi-Fi, booking, separate men's and women's restrooms, a waiting area and parking are listed as amenities. Some reviews describe waits that vary by time of day, but actual waiting time depends on the day you visit. Confirm booking, same-day availability, whether rhinitis is treated, and parking space and conditions by phone. Phone 02-3486-0351; website: kabsan.net/m/page/main.php.
Deo Gipeun Hanbang Internal Medicine Clinic (더깊은한방내과 한의원)
Deo Gipeun Hanbang Internal Medicine Clinic (더깊은한방내과 한의원) has 575 Naver reviews, 850 blog posts, 521 Kakao reviews and 0 Google reviews, for a total of 1,946. The rating provided is Google 5, and Naver and Kakao ratings are not in the data. The Google review count is listed as 0 alongside that rating, so it is hard to settle an assessment on the rating alone. HIRA information on the number of Korean medicine doctors and on specialties was not provided. The actual reviews describe kind service and comfortable consultations, but no specific rhinitis feedback or scope of rhinitis care could be confirmed. Do not infer rhinitis care from the "Korean medicine internal medicine" name or from the review count; ask in advance instead.
“Very clean, the doctor is kind and treats you without much pain. It's near my office so I use it regularly.” (Naver review, 5 November 2026)
“The care is good and they are always kind.” (Naver review, 29 October 2026)
The address is 5F, 8-8 Teheran-ro 103-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 192 m from Exit 8 of Samseong Station. The hours listed are Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00 and Saturday 10:00–14:00. Sunday hours and the lunch break are not in the data. Wi-Fi, booking, a waiting area, simple payment and parking are listed as amenities. Check available times on the booking page, and ask whether parking is available and whether rhinitis is actually treated. Some reviews mention taking herbal decoction, but these are individual experiences and the effects cannot be generalised. Phone 0507-1460-0448; booking page: Naver Booking (booking.naver.com/booking/13/bizes/977109).
Gangnam Ainuri Clinic (강남 아이누리한의원)
Gangnam Ainuri Clinic (강남 아이누리한의원) has 327 Naver reviews, 756 blog posts, 102 Kakao reviews and 0 Google reviews, for a total of 1,185. The rating provided is Kakao 5, and Naver and Google ratings are not in the data. HIRA information on the number of Korean medicine doctors and on specialties was not provided. Visitor reviews cover children's appetite and energy and adults' tonic and weight-loss herbal medicine, but no rhinitis feedback or rhinitis-specific care information could be confirmed. So rather than judging suitability for rhinitis from review counts or from family care experience, first confirm whether the clinic treats your age group and what a rhinitis consultation covers.
“The doctor took my pulse carefully, and I had a lot of questions so I asked about this and that — he answered everything kindly.” (Naver review, 14 October 2026)
“The doctor always listens carefully to patients and explains things kindly, so I feel at ease every time I go.” (Naver review, 14 September 2026)
The address is 304, 3F, 225 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 61 m from Exit 5 of Hanti Station on the Suin–Bundang Line. The hours listed are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10:00–18:30, and Saturday 10:00–15:00. Thursday and Sunday hours and the lunch break are not provided. Wi-Fi, parking, booking and separate men's and women's restrooms are the amenities. If you need care for a child or a consultation with a guardian present, it is worth confirming the eligible age range and availability at the booking stage. There is no rhinitis-specific information in the collected data, so ask in advance. Phone 02-6929-1073; blog: blog.naver.com/gangnaminuri.
Gwonhan Clinic (권한의원)
Gwonhan Clinic (권한의원) has 308 Naver reviews, 5,373 blog posts, 668 Kakao reviews and 0 Google reviews, for a total of 6,349. The rating provided is Kakao 5, and Naver and Google ratings are not in the data. The HIRA-registered specialties are Sasang constitutional medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, Korean medicine internal medicine, Korean medicine gynaecology, Korean medicine paediatrics, Korean medicine neuropsychiatry, Korean medicine ophthalmology/otolaryngology/dermatology, and Korean medicine rehabilitation medicine. The number of Korean medicine doctors is not in the data. Review volume and specialties can be used for comparison, but having the most reviews does not mean better rhinitis treatment. The actual reviews centre on consultation explanations and chuna (manual therapy) experiences, and no rhinitis treatment feedback is provided.
“Lately I've been feeling tired and it doesn't clear up, so I visited after looking into gongjin-dan. Rather than pushing it on me, they checked my condition and daily habits first, which made it easy to take my time.” (Naver review, 17 October 2026)
“I was worried about sending my mother alone so I went with her, and even listening from the side they explained things in an easy-to-understand way.” (Naver review, 15 October 2026)

Booking, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms and parking are listed as amenities. Some reviews mention weekend visits, but that does not guarantee waiting times on the day, so check whether booking is needed and how to register. It is best to ask by phone whether rhinitis is treated and how. Phone 02-713-7582; website: apkwon.net/reviews/.

Checklist for Choosing a Rhinitis Clinic
- Whether rhinitis is treated — confirm before visiting that the clinic actually offers rhinitis consultations and treatment.
- Registered specialties — look separately at HIRA-registered specialties and at the clinic's own promotional information.
- Doctor information — where the number of doctors or specialist credentials is not provided, ask the clinic directly.
- Discussing symptoms and scope of care — ask how your symptoms, previous treatment and current medications can be discussed.
- Treatment plan and cost — ask for an explanation of the plan and costs for consultations, tests and herbal medicine before starting.
- Booking and waiting — check whether booking is required, whether same-day registration is possible, and expected waits.
- Opening hours — ask about days and lunch breaks missing from the listed hours, and about public holiday opening.
- Parking and transport — check parking availability and valet conditions, and consider the distance from public transport.
- Context of reviews — check review dates and topics, and do not generalise experiences of other conditions into rhinitis treatment results.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- If you are rushed toward treatment or a product without a sufficient explanation, or costs and the number of sessions are not stated clearly, ask for more detail.
- Be cautious about explanations that guarantee treatment effects or state that everyone will get the same result.
- If a uniform treatment plan is offered without checking your individual symptoms and health status, ask further questions and, if needed, consider another medical institution's opinion.
- Do not take review scores or testimonials as a guarantee of rhinitis treatment effects. The collected data contains no evidence that would let you verify rhinitis outcomes by clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do any of these clinics have English-speaking staff?
The source data does not record language capability for any of the five clinics, so we cannot say that any of them has English-speaking staff or interpreters. Call the clinic directly, or check its website or booking page, and ask specifically whether English-speaking support is available for consultations and for booking; a translation app or a Korean-speaking friend can help in the meantime.
Can this data tell me which clinic specialises in rhinitis?
No information on rhinitis treatment records or specialised programmes by clinic was provided. Gapsan Clinic, Gachi Clinic and Gwonhan Clinic include Korean medicine ophthalmology/otolaryngology/dermatology among their registered specialties, but that alone cannot establish rhinitis specialisation or results.
Which clinic has the most reviews?
Adding up the Naver, blog, Kakao and Google review counts provided, Gwonhan Clinic has the most, at 6,349. That figure is a sum of platform counts and is not a direct measure of treatment satisfaction or effects.
Can I compare ratings directly between clinics?
The platforms that supplied ratings and the number of reviews differ from clinic to clinic. Deo Gipeun Hanbang Internal Medicine Clinic in particular is listed with a Google rating of 5 and 0 Google reviews. Rather than comparing ratings alone, look at the review count and content on that platform together.
How do I check lunch breaks and closed days?
The source data does not list lunch breaks, and some weekdays have no hours listed. Do not assume unlisted times are closed days; check by phone or through the official booking channel before visiting.
If I have rhinitis symptoms, should I only visit a herbal medicine clinic?
This article compares clinic information and reviews and does not judge which treatment is right for an individual. If you need care suited to your symptoms and health status, consult a medical professional, and ask a qualified practitioner about which treatment approach to choose.
Final Thoughts
The five herbal medicine clinics in Gangnam-gu (강남구) differ in review volume, published ratings, specialties and access from stations. In the data provided, Gwonhan Clinic has 6,349 combined reviews and Deo Gipeun Hanbang Internal Medicine Clinic 1,946, while Gapsan Clinic is listed in HIRA records as having two specialists in Korean medicine ophthalmology/otolaryngology/dermatology. However, no rhinitis treatment outcomes or clinic-specific rhinitis specialisation could be confirmed, so check directly before visiting: whether rhinitis is treated, what the consultation involves, the cost, and booking and parking. This article summarises collected institution information and reviews as general information and does not replace diagnosis or treatment advice. Last updated: 2026-11-06
