Key Takeaways
If you start with review counts and public ratings, 터한의원 잠실점 (Teo Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil Branch) has 1,772 Naver visitor reviews and 529 Kakao Map reviews, with a Kakao rating of 4.5 and a Google rating of 4.9. Note, however, that its reviews mix acupuncture and chuna (manual therapy) with other treatment experiences, so they cannot be read as a measure of acupuncture satisfaction alone. 로담한의원 잠실 (Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil) has 1,465 Naver reviews, 201 Kakao reviews, and a Google rating of 4.8. The visitor reviews provided include scar-related consultations and procedures, so if you are looking for acupuncture, confirm first whether the clinic offers it. If you would rather start with clinics that have visitor reviews mentioning acupuncture specifically, you can also check the reviews for 경희참한의원 (Gyeonghuicham Korean Medicine Clinic). The average Kakao Map rating across the five clinics is 4.5, based on the collected data summary.
If you are a foreign patient planning a visit in Songpa-gu (송파구), keep in mind that language support varies widely from clinic to clinic, and the source data behind this article does not say which languages any of these five clinics can handle. To locate an English-speaking clinic in Songpa-gu Korea, call ahead or message the clinic's Naver Place or Kakao Map listing before you book, and ask directly whether an English consultation is possible. Bring your passport or ARC (alien registration card) and any insurance details, and confirm the treatment, the price, and the booking method in advance.
How We Analyzed This
We collected and compared 3,553 Naver Place visitor reviews, 743 Kakao Map reviews, and registration information from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA). The combined review count is 4,296, and the review figures shown for each clinic are the numbers displayed on each platform. Ratings are listed only where an actual score was available in the source materials. Naver ratings and HIRA figures for the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties were not present in the per-clinic data, so we did not estimate them. Review quotations are based on the actual visitor reviews collected, with emojis and special characters from the originals removed. Reviews are individual experiences and do not guarantee treatment outcomes.
Clinic-by-Clinic Details
경희참한의원 (Gyeonghuicham Korean Medicine Clinic)
This is a clinic where you can find visitor reviews that mention acupuncture directly. It has 238 Naver reviews, 20 blog reviews, and 9 Kakao reviews, with a Kakao rating of 5 and a Google rating of 4.5. No Naver rating was available in the source materials. HIRA figures for the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties were also not available, so it is hard to compare this clinic on the basis of staffing size or subspecialty. With only 9 Kakao reviews, rather than drawing conclusions about overall satisfaction from the rating alone, look at the content of the reviews alongside your own treatment needs.
"The director places the needles well and did cupping treatment too, so I was very happy." (붉은단풍 / "Red Maple," September 16, 2026)
"I came in for acupuncture for cervical pain. The director really places needles well and I'm improving little by little. The staff are kind, and it's clean and quiet — I highly recommend the treatment rooms." (khk****, July 7, 2026)
The address is 서울 송파구 오금로 414 명문빌딩 (Myeongmun Building, 414 Ogeum-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul), listed as 125 m from Exit 3 of 개롱역 (Gaerong Station). The hours provided are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 09:00–18:30. Whether it is open on other days and when the lunch break falls are not in the source data, so you will need to call to confirm. The phone number is 02-409-7582. The booking method and parking availability were not confirmed either, so it is better to ask before you visit. The reviews mention acupuncture, cupping, and experiences with neck, knee, and finger pain, but these are individual experiences and do not guarantee results. If you want acupuncture, ask about the cost and necessity of the initial examination and treatment plan, and of any pharmacopuncture (yakchim) recommended alongside it. As a reference point, insured acupuncture runs about KRW 4,000–8,000 out of pocket per session, with the initial consultation charged separately; actual amounts must be confirmed.
성보한의원 (Seongbo Korean Medicine Clinic)
성보한의원 is an option where you can check the location and amenities near 문정역 (Munjeong Station). It has 0 Naver reviews, 0 blog reviews, and 0 Kakao reviews, plus 2 Google reviews. No ratings were provided in the source materials, so ratings cannot be compared, and there is no visitor review text to quote. We therefore cannot present user experiences or recommendations about acupuncture based on reviews. HIRA data on the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties was also not provided, so we do not estimate it. A lack of reviews says nothing about the quality of care; it is appropriate to contact the clinic directly before visiting to ask about its scope of treatment and whether it offers acupuncture.
The address is 서울 송파구 문정로 11 201 (201, 11 Munjeong-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul), 132 m from Exit 2 of 문정역 (Munjeong Station). The confirmed hours are Tuesday and Wednesday 09:30–18:00. Other days and the lunch break were not provided. The phone number is 0507-1384-1415. A waiting area, walk-in registration/out-call visits, Wi-Fi, reservations, and parking are listed as amenities, but the booking method and parking conditions need separate confirmation. If you are visiting for acupuncture, ask first whether initial consultations are available, whether same-day registration is possible, and what insurance covers. As a reference, the out-of-pocket cost for one insured acupuncture session is roughly KRW 4,000–8,000, with the initial consultation charged separately. Pharmacopuncture is not covered by insurance and is listed at a reference range of KRW 10,000–50,000 per session, so confirm whether it applies in your case and what it costs before treatment.
로담한의원 잠실 (Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil)
로담한의원 잠실 has 1,465 Naver reviews, 527 blog reviews, 201 Kakao reviews, and 10 Google reviews, with a Google rating of 4.8. Naver and Kakao ratings were not available in the source materials. Its review volume is on the larger side among the clinics compared, but the visitor reviews provided include acne scar consultations and procedures, so they should not be read as the number of acupuncture reviews or as acupuncture satisfaction. HIRA figures for the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties were not in the source data. If you want acupuncture, the first step is to call and confirm whether the clinic currently provides it and whether it suits your symptoms.
"Dr. 조한용 (Jo Han-yong) treats patients carefully and well." (SMLee9, October 2, 2026)
"I booked a consultation for acne scar treatment and was seen right away with no wait. It was my first visit and the staff were kind — I liked it." (하롱렁68, October 1, 2026)
The address is 서울 송파구 송파대로 558 월드타워빌딩 2층 (2F, World Tower Building, 558 Songpa-daero, Songpa-gu, Seoul), 118 m from Exit 7 of 잠실역 (Jamsil Station). The hours provided are Tuesday 10:00–19:00 and Thursday 14:00–21:00. Thursday is listed as an evening schedule, but other days and the lunch break were not confirmed. The phone number is 02-6929-3655, and the website link provided is a Naver blog. Whether reservations are required and parking information were not in the source data, so check before visiting. The consultations and procedures mentioned in the reviews should be kept separate from information about acupuncture. Acupuncture costs are given as a general reference — about KRW 4,000–8,000 out of pocket per insured session, with the initial consultation charged separately — and these are not this clinic's confirmed prices.
성심한의원 (Seongsim Korean Medicine Clinic)
성심한의원 has 78 Naver reviews, 29 blog reviews, 4 Kakao reviews, and 2 Google reviews. Its Kakao rating is 4, and Naver and Google ratings were not available in the source materials. Only one actual visitor review was provided, and it mentions a knee pain visit and the staff's kindness. The sample is too small to treat as general evidence of treatment effectiveness. HIRA figures for the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties were not available, so nothing can be stated about staffing size or acupuncture expertise. Use the review counts and ratings as reference, and judge for yourself by asking directly about acupuncture availability and a treatment plan for your symptoms.
"They were kind and my knee pain is gone. It heals well." (jy1896, March 11, 2026)
Only one visitor review was provided, so the second requested review quotation is not included because it does not exist in the source data. The address is 서울 송파구 오금로31길 39 1층 (1F, 39 Ogeum-ro 31-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul), 308 m from Exit 3 of 방이역 (Bangi Station). The hours are listed as Monday–Thursday 09:30–18:00. These hours do not include evening appointments, and the lunch break and Friday or later opening hours are not in the source data. The phone number is 02-421-5511. Reservation and parking information was also not confirmed, so calling before your visit is the practical approach. If you plan to receive acupuncture, check the number of sessions and the cost after the examination first, and keep in mind that the reference out-of-pocket cost of about KRW 4,000–8,000 for insured acupuncture excludes the initial consultation and that your actual cost may differ.
터한의원 잠실점 (Teo Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil Branch)
터한의원 잠실점 has 1,772 Naver reviews, 3,665 blog reviews, 529 Kakao reviews, and 1 Google review. Its Kakao rating is 4.5 and its Google rating is 4.9; no Naver rating was available in the source materials. Among the visitor reviews, some mention receiving acupuncture and chuna treatment together, and some mention visiting because of neck pain. The review counts cover the overall clinic experience, so do not treat them as an evaluation of acupuncture alone. HIRA figures for the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties were not provided.
"I received acupuncture and chuna treatment and they were good. The staff are kind." (hyu****, October 2, 2026)
"I visited because my neck hurt, and they treated me kindly and well." (히히1480, September 30, 2026)
The address is 서울 송파구 올림픽로 104 2층 1호 (Unit 1, 2F, 104 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul), 223 m from Exit 4 of 잠실새내역 (Jamsil Sae-nae Station). The hours provided are Sunday 10:00–17:00 and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 10:00–21:00. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are listed as evening schedules, and whether it is open Monday, Friday, or Saturday and when the lunch break falls are not in the source data. The phone number is 0507-1391-1717. Reservations, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, a waiting area, group use, easy payment, and parking are listed as amenities, but parking conditions and the booking method should be confirmed before your visit. When you receive acupuncture, it helps to ask separately whether chuna or pharmacopuncture is being suggested alongside it, and what each costs and whether it is covered. Insured acupuncture is referenced at about KRW 4,000–8,000 out of pocket per session with the initial consultation charged separately, and pharmacopuncture is listed as not covered at roughly KRW 10,000–50,000 per session.

Checklist for Choosing an Acupuncture Clinic
- Whether acupuncture is available — Confirm that the clinic currently provides treatment that matches your purpose and symptoms.
- Scope of the initial consultation — Ask what treatment is proposed after the examination and how the treatment plan is explained.
- Total cost — Check the cost of each item separately — acupuncture, initial consultation, pharmacopuncture — and whether health insurance applies.
- Consent to extra treatment — If additional procedures are suggested, ask for the reason and the cost, and give your consent before proceeding.
- Opening hours — Call to confirm days not listed in the source data, the lunch break, and whether evening appointments are available.
- Booking and registration — Find out whether a reservation is required and whether same-day walk-ins are accepted.
- Parking and transport — Check whether parking is available and on what terms, and consider the distance from the station exit.
- Medical staff and specialties — Where public information is not available, ask the clinic directly about the doctors in charge and the scope of treatment.
- Context of the reviews — Read the total review count and the acupuncture-related reviews separately, and do not generalize individual experiences into treatment results.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- If a clinic guarantees treatment results outright, or does not explain individual variation and limitations, ask for a fuller explanation.
- If additional treatment is about to begin without an explanation of costs and of what is covered versus not covered by insurance, ask for the itemized price and the reason it is needed.
- If a clinic states a fixed number of sessions or a long-term plan without explaining your symptoms and examination findings, ask about the basis and the alternatives.
- If it is hard to confirm visit conditions such as reservations, hours, or parking, call before you go, and if the answers are unclear, do not rush — compare other clinics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the clinic with the most reviews the best choice for acupuncture in Songpa-gu?
Review counts are a reference for the scale of user experience, not a guarantee of acupuncture effectiveness or suitability. 터한의원 잠실점 has 1,772 Naver reviews and 로담한의원 잠실 has 1,465, but check the content of the reviews by treatment purpose.
How much does acupuncture cost?
According to the reference information provided, the out-of-pocket cost for insured acupuncture under the Korean health insurance system is about KRW 4,000–8,000 per session, with the initial consultation charged separately. Pharmacopuncture is not covered by insurance and has a reference range of KRW 10,000–50,000 per session. Ask the clinic directly about actual costs and what applies to your case.
Can I judge how good a clinic is at acupuncture from visitor reviews alone?
It is difficult. Reviews are individual experiences, and symptoms, treatment content, and recovery can differ. Check whether a review mentions acupuncture directly, and discuss your symptoms and a treatment plan with the doctor before treatment.
I don't speak Korean — how do I check whether these clinics can consult in English?
The source data behind this article does not record which languages any of the five clinics can handle, and this article makes no claim that they offer English-speaking staff; language support varies by clinic and must be confirmed directly. Call the number listed for each clinic, check its Naver Place or Kakao Map page, or ask about interpretation when you book. Bring your passport or ARC and your insurance details, and confirm the treatment, the price, and the appointment before you go.
Can I receive pharmacopuncture at the same cost as acupuncture?
The cost reference information provided classifies pharmacopuncture as not covered by insurance and lists it at KRW 10,000–50,000 per session. It may differ from the insured cost of acupuncture, so confirm beforehand whether the procedure is recommended, why it is needed, and the actual price.
Should I avoid 성보한의원 because it has no reviews?
No. Few or no reviews simply means that public review material is limited; it is not a basis for judging the quality of care. Check treatment availability, costs, and reservation and parking conditions directly before choosing.
Final Thoughts
By review counts and public ratings, 터한의원 잠실점 and 로담한의원 잠실 stand out, but a large review volume does not prove the quality of acupuncture. To look at acupuncture-related reviews, refer to the quoted reviews for 경희참한의원 and 터한의원 잠실점, and ask directly about hours, costs, and whether reservations are needed before you visit. This article summarizes the collected data and cost reference information provided; it is not a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation. Decisions about your symptoms and your treatment should be made in consultation with a medical professional.
