Key Takeaways
Foreign patients planning to visit a clinic in Songpa-gu should know that language support varies widely by clinic — some may have English-speaking staff and others may not, and this article's source data does not cover it either way. Before you go, call the clinic or check its booking page to confirm whether an English-speaking consultation is actually available. Bring your passport or ARC, a written list of any medications you take, and be ready to ask about the total cost, since Korean medicine weight-loss treatment is not covered by national health insurance.
Judging by review volume, the first clinic worth a look is 터한의원 잠실점 (Teo Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil Branch). It has 1,765 Naver reviews, 527 Kakao reviews, and 1 Google review — 2,293 across the three platforms — with ratings of 4.5 on Kakao and 4.9 on Google. However, the reviews provided focus mainly on pain treatment, so you must confirm directly whether the clinic offers Korean medicine weight-loss care and what its prescriptions involve. Among the five, 예스한의원 (Yes Korean Medicine Clinic) is the one whose reviews actually include weight-loss content. It has 46 Naver, 4 Kakao, and 1 Google review, with a Kakao rating of 4. Reviews reflect individual experiences and do not guarantee treatment results.
The collected data alone cannot confirm whether all five clinics offer Korean medicine weight-loss treatment, or what they charge. The comparison below therefore centers on reviews and publicly available basic information, and does not assert that any specific clinic runs a weight-loss program. Korean medicine weight-loss treatment is entirely non-reimbursed, and for reference one month of herbal medicine typically runs 300,000–600,000 KRW, rising to 400,000–800,000 KRW per month when acupuncture and pharmacopuncture are included.
How We Analyzed This
We collected and compared 2,973 Naver Place visitor reviews, 1,405 Kakao Map reviews, and registration data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA). The five selected clinics have an average Kakao Map rating of 4.5. For each clinic we compiled Naver, Kakao, and Google review counts, the ratings provided, and address, hours, and accessibility information. Blog review counts are listed separately; the total review figure is the sum of Naver, Kakao, and Google reviews. The number of Korean medicine doctors and the treatment specialties at each clinic could not be verified from HIRA data. Clinic hours list only the days provided, and no lunch-break information was available for any of the clinics.
유리움한의원 (Yurium Korean Medicine Clinic)
Both the Kakao and Google ratings are 5. It has 534 Naver reviews, 419 Kakao reviews, and 0 Google reviews — 953 across the three platforms — plus 1,099 blog reviews. Visitor reviews describe friendly service and clear explanations, along with experiences of asymmetry and pain treatment. Whether the clinic offers Korean medicine weight-loss treatment or a weight management program was not verifiable from the collected data. No HIRA information on the number of Korean medicine doctors or treatment specialties is available either.
"The staff are always kind every time. The director always explains things well, so I feel comfortable coming here."
"I've been getting asymmetry treatment and pain treatment regularly, and today my neck and shoulder pain was so bad that I came in for pain treatment. It really feels lighter, which is great."
The address is 5F, 415 Songpa-daero, Songpa-gu, Seoul (서울 송파구 송파대로 415 5층), 128 m from Exit 5 of Seokchon Station. The hours provided are Wednesday 11:00–21:00, Thursday 10:00–18:00, and Friday 11:00–21:00. Lunch hours and whether the clinic is open on other days need to be confirmed. Reservations and parking are available, and there are separate men's and women's restrooms. Before visiting, confirm how to book, the parking conditions, and whether the treatment you want is available. If you consult about Korean medicine weight loss, it is worth asking separately about what the prescription contains and the non-reimbursed cost. A website and blog are available, which you can use to check details before your visit.
터한의원 잠실점 (Teo Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil Branch)
The Kakao rating is 4.5 and the Google rating is 4.9. It has 1,765 Naver reviews, 527 Kakao reviews, and 1 Google review — 2,293 across the three platforms — plus 3,647 blog reviews. Reviews mention courteous consultations, treatment using acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and herbal medicine, and wait times after booking. The collected data contains no specific information about weight-loss treatment, so do not judge suitability for Korean medicine weight loss on review volume or ratings alone. No HIRA information on the number of Korean medicine doctors or treatment specialties is available.
"They consult in a relaxed and friendly way, and they build a treatment plan using various methods — acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, herbal medicine — tailored to your symptoms."
"I booked and waited less than 10 minutes. I was glad they were open over the Chuseok holiday, and they were thorough — I felt much better than when I came in."
The address is 2F Unit 1, 104 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul (서울 송파구 올림픽로 104 2층 1호), 223 m from Exit 4 of Jamsilsaenae Station. The hours provided are Tuesday–Friday 10:00–21:00 and Sunday 10:00–17:00. Lunch hours and Monday and Saturday availability need to be confirmed. The listing indicates that reservations, parking, Wi-Fi, a waiting area, and simple payment options are available. Before visiting, check the booking windows and parking conditions. If you are considering Korean medicine weight loss, ask whether the clinic offers that service and how its prescriptions and consultation process work. For reference, one month of herbal medicine costs 300,000–600,000 KRW, and 400,000–800,000 KRW per month with acupuncture and pharmacopuncture, though actual prices must be confirmed with the clinic.
예스한의원 (Yes Korean Medicine Clinic)
The Kakao rating is 4. It has 46 Naver reviews, 4 Kakao reviews, and 1 Google review — 51 across the three platforms — plus 5 blog reviews. Its review count is low compared with the others, so a rating or a handful of posts cannot be generalized into the overall experience. The visitor reviews provided include mentions of herbal weight-loss experiences and accounts of taking the medicine, making it the one of the five where weight-loss-related reviews can be found. Any weight-loss numbers or personal impressions in those reviews are individual cases and do not guarantee results. No HIRA information on the number of Korean medicine doctors or treatment specialties is available.
"I took it for about a month before and signed up again. It definitely works. This time I plan to take it for longer."
"If you follow the instructions as closely as possible, it seems to come off. It's herbal medicine, but the taste isn't that hard to handle."
The address is 4F–5F Mirae Building, 492 Baekjegobun-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul (서울 송파구 백제고분로 492 미래빌딩 4·5층), 241 m from Exit 4 of Hanseong Baekje Station. The hours provided are Monday–Friday 09:30–18:30. Lunch hours and weekend availability are not in the data. The listing states that reservations, parking, Wi-Fi, and a waiting area are available, but confirm the booking method and parking conditions before visiting. If you are interested in a Korean medicine weight-loss prescription, it is better to confirm the form of the prescription, the duration of use, whether follow-up care is included, and the total cost during a consultation. Korean medicine weight-loss treatment is entirely non-reimbursed, and if a prescription includes appetite-suppressant ingredients, you should discuss the possibility of side effects. No website or blog links were included in the collected data.
존스킨한의원 잠실점 (Johnskin Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil Branch)
The Kakao rating is 4 and the Google rating is 4.6. It has 582 Naver reviews, 454 Kakao reviews, and 23 Google reviews — 1,059 across the three platforms — plus 2,378 blog reviews. The reviews provided focus on scalp, hair loss, and acne experiences. No Korean medicine weight-loss treatment or weight management program could be verified from the collected data, so skin and scalp reviews should not be read as evidence of weight-loss care. No HIRA information on the number of Korean medicine doctors or treatment specialties is available.
"I was upset about recurring acne, but after treatment to clear the heat, my oil production dropped and my skin became much clearer."
"I suffered from big red acne spreading across my cheeks and jawline, but once I started treatment, the deep, clogged acne stopped coming up."
The address is Units 418–420, 329 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul (서울 송파구 올림픽로 329 418~420호), 450 m from Exit 9 of Jamsil Station. The hours provided are Tuesday and Thursday 10:00–21:00 and Friday 10:00–20:00. Lunch hours and availability on other days need to be confirmed. The listing provides information on reservations, parking, Wi-Fi, a waiting area, and simple payment options. Before visiting, ask about booking windows and how parking works. If you are visiting for Korean medicine weight loss, first confirm whether the clinic actually offers that service, then discuss the prescription and cost. Website, blog, and Instagram links are provided. For reference, costs range from 300,000–600,000 KRW for one month of herbal medicine and 400,000–800,000 KRW per month with acupuncture and pharmacopuncture; actual prices must be confirmed with each clinic.
경희케이한의원 (Kyunghee K Korean Medicine Clinic)
Both the Kakao and Google ratings are 5. It has 46 Naver reviews, 1 Kakao review, and 3 Google reviews — 50 across the three platforms — plus 378 blog reviews. Reviews cover neck, shoulder, and lower back pain treatment, Sunday hours, and service. The review count is limited and no weight-loss treatment reviews were provided, so if weight loss is your goal, start by checking whether the clinic offers that service. No HIRA information on the number of Korean medicine doctors or treatment specialties is available.
"It was Sunday and my back hurt, so I searched for a place near home that sees patients on Sundays and came here. It was my first visit, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the director examined the painful area carefully, which made me feel much better."
"My shoulders and neck were stiff, so I got acupuncture and it feels refreshing."
The address is Unit 301, 3F Doeun Building, 239 Songi-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul (서울 송파구 송이로 239 도은빌딩 3층 301호), 920 m from Exit 2 of Munjeong Station. The hours provided are Tuesday–Friday 10:00–20:00 and Sunday 10:00–15:00. Lunch hours and Monday and Saturday availability are not in the data. No amenity information was provided either, so it is best to ask about reservations, parking, and the waiting area in advance. If you are considering a Sunday visit, confirm same-day availability and the registration cutoff time. No Korean medicine weight-loss program or prescription could be verified in the data. During a consultation, check the non-reimbursed status, what the herbal medicine contains, and the cost of combining acupuncture and pharmacopuncture, and ask whether appetite-suppressant ingredients are included.

Checklist for Choosing a Korean Medicine Weight-Loss Clinic
- Does the service exist? — Confirm first that the clinic actually offers Korean medicine weight-loss consultations and prescriptions.
- Prescription details — Ask for the form (herbal decoction, pills, and so on), how to take it, and the expected duration.
- Current medications and health status — Disclose every medication you take, any conditions, allergies, and past adverse reactions.
- Appetite suppressants — Ask whether they are included, what side effects are possible, and what to do if a reaction occurs.
- Total cost — Check not just the herbal medicine price but also consultation, acupuncture, and pharmacopuncture, plus the refund policy.
- Follow-up — Find out how your progress is monitored during treatment and how often follow-ups take place.
- Realistic goals — Discuss individual goals and a monitoring plan rather than accepting promises of a set amount of weight loss within a set period.
- Schedule — Ask about hours on days not listed, lunch breaks, and booking and registration cutoff times.
- Parking and transit — Check whether parking is available and under what conditions, and how far the walk from the station really is.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Promises of guaranteed weight loss — If a clinic commits to a specific amount of loss within a set period without accounting for individual variation, ask for the evidence and the conditions attached.
- Little explanation of ingredients or side effects — If your questions about appetite-suppressant ingredients, precautions while taking the medicine, and how to handle adverse reactions are not answered clearly, ask for further consultation.
- Costs not clearly disclosed — Confirm in advance the total amount payable, including acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and any additional care beyond the herbal medicine.
- Rushing to prescribe without checking your health — If the clinic does not ask about your medications, conditions, or past adverse reactions, raise your safety questions first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start when choosing a Korean medicine weight-loss clinic in Songpa-gu?
Start by confirming that the clinic actually offers Korean medicine weight-loss treatment. In this data set, 예스한의원 (Yes Korean Medicine Clinic) has visitor reviews mentioning weight-loss herbal medicine, but reviews alone cannot tell you whether a prescription is suitable or effective. Confirming consultation availability, the prescription, and the cost directly should come first.
Which clinic has the most reviews?
On combined Naver, Kakao, and Google review counts, 터한의원 잠실점 (Teo Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil Branch) leads with 2,293. Its 3,647 blog reviews are counted separately. Review volume does not indicate the effectiveness or suitability of weight-loss treatment.
Can I compare the number of doctors and treatment specialties across the five clinics?
From the HIRA registration data provided, we could not verify the number of Korean medicine doctors or the treatment specialties for any of the five. If you need that information, contact each clinic directly or check the latest registration records separately.
How much does Korean medicine weight-loss treatment cost?
Per the reference information, Korean medicine weight-loss treatment is entirely non-reimbursed. One month of herbal medicine runs 300,000–600,000 KRW, and 400,000–800,000 KRW per month with acupuncture and pharmacopuncture. These are reference ranges; actual prices and what is included must be confirmed with each clinic.
Does Korean medicine weight-loss herbal medicine have side effects?
It varies by individual and cannot be judged across the board. Prescriptions containing appetite-suppressant ingredients in particular require a discussion of side effects. Tell the clinic about your medications and health status, and confirm precautions before you start and how to get in touch if a reaction occurs.
Can I get an English-speaking consultation at these clinics?
The source data for this article does not state whether any of the five clinics has English-speaking staff, so we cannot confirm it either way. Language support at Korean medicine clinics in Songpa-gu varies by clinic and by practitioner, and the only reliable way to know is to ask. Call ahead or check the clinic's Naver Place page or booking page, and if you need an interpreter, ask whether one can be arranged for your appointment.
Final Thoughts
By review volume and ratings, 터한의원 잠실점 (Teo Korean Medicine Clinic, Jamsil Branch) holds the most reviews, while weight-loss-related visitor reviews appear at 예스한의원 (Yes Korean Medicine Clinic). However, the data provided does not allow a full comparison of whether each of the five offers weight-loss care or what the treatment results are. Reviews are individual experiences and do not guarantee treatment outcomes. Because Korean medicine weight-loss treatment is entirely non-reimbursed, discuss the prescription contents, the total cost, and the possibility of appetite-suppressant ingredients and side effects before deciding. This article summarizes publicly available information and reviews and is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment. Please confirm hours and booking and parking details with the clinic before your visit.
