Key takeaways
If you are visiting from abroad, start with the practical points: language support varies from clinic to clinic and is not recorded in the data below, so whether a clinic is an English-speaking clinic in Gangnam-gu has to be confirmed by phone or on the clinic's own booking page before you go. Bring your passport or ARC, any previous imaging or test results and a list of your medications, and book ahead where you can — walk-in waits are usually longer in the evening and on Saturdays.
Looking at review counts and published ratings together, 양재본정형외과의원 (Yangjae Bon Orthopedic Clinic) has 2,160 Naver reviews, 1,577 Kakao reviews and a Kakao rating of 4.7 — the strongest combination of Kakao review volume and rating among those compared. 강남초이스병원 (Gangnam Choice Hospital) has 1,481 Naver reviews and a Kakao rating of 4.5, while 모두탑365정형외과의원 한티점 (Modutop 365 Orthopedic Clinic, Hanti Branch) has 1,244 Naver reviews and a Kakao rating of 4.5. Naver ratings and the number of orthopedic specialists registered with the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) are not in the collected data, so they cannot be compared. The ranking below does not judge treatment outcomes or the quality of the medical staff; it simply sets out the review counts, ratings, locations and opening hours that were provided.
How we analysed the data
We collected and analysed 6,569 Naver Place visitor reviews, 3,273 Kakao Map reviews and registration data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. The five selected clinics average 4.6 on Kakao Map. Total reviews per clinic combine Naver and Kakao reviews; Google review counts are 0 for every clinic in the provided data. Blog reviews were left out of the totals because they are different in nature from visitor reviews. Naver ratings and orthopedic specialist counts were not provided, so they are marked "no data." Reviews are individual users' experiences and do not guarantee treatment results.
강남초이스병원 (Gangnam Choice Hospital)
If you are looking for an orthopedic clinic in Gangnam-gu near Seolleung Station, this is one to check for both location and review content. Naver reviews total 1,481 and Kakao reviews 81, for 1,562 combined; the Kakao rating is 4.5 and the Google rating 3.7. No Naver rating was provided, and there is no HIRA data on the number of orthopedic specialists. Rather than judging quality from review volume alone, it is better to check whether the clinic can handle your symptoms and the care you need.

"I live nearby but only found out about this place now. The shockwave and manual therapy are really good. The doctor is thorough, too." (Naver review, November 2, 2026)
The address is 서울 강남구 테헤란로 337 화남빌딩 4층~8층 (Hwanam Building, 337 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, floors 4–8), listed as 4 m from Exit 6 of Seolleung Station on Line 2 and the Suin–Bundang Line. Hours are Monday–Friday 09:30–19:00 and Saturday 10:00–14:00; there is no information on Sunday hours. Lunch hours are not in the provided data, so confirm before you visit.

양재본정형외과의원 (Yangjae Bon Orthopedic Clinic)
This may be a candidate for people who prioritise access from Yangjae Station and review volume. Naver reviews (2,160) plus Kakao reviews (1,577) come to 3,737, the highest combined total of the five. The Kakao rating is 4.7 and the Google rating 4.6; no Naver rating was provided. There is no HIRA data on orthopedic specialist numbers, so that needs checking separately. Reviews mention treatment for heel and neck pain, physiotherapy and manual therapy, but individual experiences and outcomes cannot be generalised.
"I visited because the sole of my foot hurt. The director treated me calmly and I was treated with peace of mind. It's close to Yangjae Station and on the second floor, but there's an elevator, which is convenient." (Naver review, November 3, 2026)

Reviews show people waiting after walking in without a reservation, so if your schedule is tight it is practical to check booking availability and the expected wait first. If you are considering manual therapy or physiotherapy, ask about cost, the number of sessions and whether it follows the consultation.

Checklist for choosing an orthopedic clinic
- Scope of care — check whether the clinic can consult on your current symptoms and the care you need.
- Specialist information — specialist counts are not in the collected data, so check the latest registration details with the clinic or the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service.
- Hours and closures — confirm day-by-day opening hours, public holiday hours and lunch hours before you visit.
- Booking and waiting — ask how to book, whether same-day walk-ins are accepted and how long the wait is likely to be.
- Tests and treatment plan — ask for the purpose, alternatives and sequence of any tests or treatment.
- Cost — check whether any items are not covered by insurance and what the expected total will be.
- Number of sessions — confirm how many sessions are recommended and when your progress will be reviewed, and ask anything you are unsure about.
- Transport and parking — check not only the distance from the exit but also whether parking is available, on what terms and at what cost.
- Existing records — if you have previous test results, current medications or a treatment history, prepare them to bring to the consultation.
Warning signs to watch for
The points below are not an assessment of any particular clinic but general criteria to check during a consultation. Reviews and the provided data alone cannot tell you what a clinic is really like.
- If you find it hard to get a clear explanation of the purpose, alternatives and cost of a test or treatment, ask for one.
- If a specific outcome is promised before your individual condition has been examined, do not treat that as a basis for deciding; ask what the evidence and limitations are.
- If you were not told the expected cost or number of sessions before deciding on treatment, confirm the item-by-item details before going ahead.
- If your pain worsens or a new symptom appears and you are not told how your progress will be checked, ask when to return and how to get further advice.
Frequently asked questions
Which orthopedic clinic in Gangnam-gu has the most reviews?
Combining the Naver and Kakao reviews provided, 양재본정형외과의원 has the most at 3,737 — 2,160 Naver reviews plus 1,577 Kakao reviews, excluding blog reviews.
Which clinic has the highest Kakao rating?
Based on the provided data, 강남진정형외과의원 has a Kakao rating of 5.0. Ratings can differ across platforms such as Kakao and Google, and a rating alone cannot tell you about the quality of care or your own treatment outcome.
Can I compare Naver ratings and specialist numbers?
The data provided for this comparison does not include Naver ratings or HIRA-registered orthopedic specialist counts for each clinic. They are therefore shown as "no data" in the table, and current figures should be checked on each platform and on the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service website.
Do any of the clinics see patients on Sunday?
In the provided information, 모두탑365정형외과의원 한티점 lists Sunday hours of 09:00–14:00. Schedules can change, so confirm directly with the clinic before you visit.
Do these clinics have English-speaking staff, and can I book in English?
The source data does not record language support for any of the five clinics, so we cannot confirm that English-speaking doctors or staff, or an international patient desk, are available at any of them. If you need an English-speaking clinic in Gangnam-gu, call the number listed for that clinic or check its booking page and ask whether an English-speaking doctor or interpreter will be available on the day you plan to visit, and whether you can book by phone or online in English. Bringing your passport, any previous imaging and a list of your medications will make the consultation easier whatever the language.
Will the treatment results mentioned in reviews apply to me?
That cannot be assumed. Reviews are individual experiences, and examination and treatment plans vary with each person's symptoms and condition. Discuss your own situation and treatment options with the medical staff.
