Key Takeaways
If you are looking for a knee and joint orthopedic clinic in Gangnam-gu and want to start with review volume and publicly listed ratings, Yangjae Bon Orthopedic Clinic (양재본정형외과의원) and Gangnam Choice Hospital (강남초이스병원) are the two that stand out. Yangjae Bon Orthopedic Clinic has 2,164 Naver reviews and 1,575 Kakao reviews, with a 4.6 rating on both Kakao and Google. Gangnam Choice Hospital has 1,489 Naver reviews and 82 Kakao reviews and a 4.5 Kakao rating. However, the data provided contains no Naver ratings, and neither clinic has information confirming knee-specific care or treatment outcomes. Use the reviews and locations to build a shortlist for a consultation, then ask each clinic directly about its scope of knee care and its testing and treatment plan.
If you are coming from abroad, plan on confirming language support yourself: the data behind this comparison does not say whether any of these five clinics has English-speaking staff, an interpreter or a foreign-patient coordinator, and support varies from clinic to clinic. Call the clinic or check its booking page before you go, and ask specifically whether an English-speaking doctor or interpreter will be available at the time you want. Bring your passport or ARC, any previous imaging or test results, and a list of your current medications.
How We Compared
We collected 6,043 Naver Place visitor reviews and 2,884 KakaoMap reviews, along with Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) registration data, and compared five clinics. Per-clinic review counts for Naver, blogs, Kakao and Google, plus Kakao and Google ratings, are also listed as provided separately. Each clinic's total review figure is a simple sum of the review counts given for each platform; overlap between platforms could not be verified. The average KakaoMap rating of the five clinics is 4.4. Naver ratings and orthopedic specialist counts were not included in the data provided, so they were not estimated.
선한목자병원 (Seonhan Mokja Hospital)
Seonhan Mokja Hospital is 46 m from Exit 6 of Yeoksam Station, with 494 Naver reviews and 125 Kakao reviews. Its Kakao rating is 3.9 and its Google rating is 4.6, so scores differ by platform. The Google review count is given as 0, which makes it hard to judge the review experience from the rating alone. Orthopedic specialist counts under HIRA criteria are not available. The reviews actually provided mention internal medicine visits and a hospital stay for a back problem, so they should not be read as an assessment of knee and joint care.
“They explained everything calmly and the director gave me treatment that really hit the spot, so I'm grateful.” (Naver review)
“The staff are all hardworking and kind. There are plenty of reasons to recommend this place to many people. Thank you.” (Naver review)
The address is 2F, Seongji Heights 3rd Building, 507 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and the phone number is 02-557-1004. Hours are listed as Mon–Fri 09:00–18:30 and Sat 09:00–13:00; there is no information about Sunday hours. Lunch hours are not in the data provided. Whether reservations are accepted and whether parking is available were also not confirmed, so call before you visit. The website addresses provided are a YouTube channel and an Instagram account. If you are thinking of visiting for knee pain, it is practical to first confirm whether the clinic treats knees, whether tests can be done, and whether you need an appointment. The reviews provided contain no accounts of knee and joint treatment and no information about knee-specific care, so they cannot be used as a basis for recommending this clinic.
강남초이스병원 (Gangnam Choice Hospital)
Gangnam Choice Hospital has 1,489 Naver reviews and 82 Kakao reviews, a 4.5 Kakao rating and a 3.7 Google rating. Adding up its Naver, blog, Kakao and Google review counts gives 5,913. Orthopedic specialist counts under HIRA criteria are not available. Visitor reviews mostly mention back and disc problems, and one review says the patient goes there when both back and knees hurt. A single experience like that is not enough to judge knee and joint expertise.
“This is the hospital I keep coming back to whenever my back and knees hurt. They've now told me I don't need to come anymore, so I've graduated. Thank you always for such careful treatment.” (Naver review)
“I only just found out about this place even though it's near my home. The shockwave therapy and manual therapy are great, and the doctor is thorough.” (Naver review)
The address is 4–8F, Hwanam Building, 337 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and the phone number is 0507-1445-2253. It is listed as 4 m from Exit 6 of Seolleung Station. Hours are Mon–Fri 09:30–19:00 and Sat 10:00–14:00, and lunch hours are not in the data provided. Reservations, parking, valet parking and a waiting area are listed as available, but check the conditions before you visit. If you want knee care, ask when booking whether the clinic treats knee and joint problems and how it explains the tests needed and the treatment costs. The public reviews do not confirm details of knee treatment or any knee-specific programme.
양재본정형외과의원 (Yangjae Bon Orthopedic Clinic)
Yangjae Bon Orthopedic Clinic has 2,164 Naver reviews and 1,575 Kakao reviews, the highest Naver and Kakao review counts among the five clinics provided. Its Kakao and Google ratings are both 4.6. A simple sum across all platforms comes to 8,223 reviews, and overlap between platforms has not been verified. Orthopedic specialist counts under HIRA criteria are not available. The reviews provided mention ultrasound images being explained, waiting after booking, and pain consultations, but no knee and joint experience or specialty care is confirmed.
“They showed me the ultrasound images and explained them in detail, which made them easy to understand, and they kindly told me what to watch out for at home and which exercises to do.” (Naver review)
“This is my fourth visit and the painful area is gradually improving, so I'm happy to keep coming. If you book in advance and arrive, you can be seen and treated without waiting.” (Naver review)
The address is 2F, Crystal Building, 242 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and the phone number is 0507-1486-3505. It is 35 m from Exit 3 of Yangjae Station. Hours are listed as Mon–Fri 09:00–20:00 and Sat 09:00–14:00, so a weekday evening visit may be an option. Lunch hours are not in the public data and need to be confirmed. Reservations, parking and a waiting area are among the listed amenities, but check the actual conditions. One review describes being seen without waiting after booking, but that cannot be assumed to happen every time. Before visiting for knee pain, ask about available appointment times, how to book, and whether knee-related tests are offered.
참시원정형외과의원 (Cham Siwon Orthopedic Clinic)
Cham Siwon Orthopedic Clinic has 648 Naver reviews and 918 Kakao reviews, with a 4.5 Kakao rating and a 3.9 Google rating. Adding up its Naver, blog, Kakao and Google review counts gives 4,876. Orthopedic specialist counts under HIRA criteria are not available. Reviews mention shoulder pain consultations, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, staff manner and explanations of treatment. None of that indicates knee and joint treatment experience, and no knee-specific care could be confirmed in the data provided.
“I visited for the first time with long-standing shoulder pain, and the director was extremely kind and explained everything well. The staff were all kind too, and they explained the treatment items and even the prices in advance, so I could be treated comfortably and felt good about it.” (Naver review)
“This is a clinic I've been going to for a long time. The director and the staff are so kind. When you're in pain, one warm word means a lot, and the director's careful diagnosis and explanation and the staff's kind words are really nice.” (Naver review)
The address is 2F, Gungdo Building, 327 Bongeunsa-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and the phone number is 02-517-7795. It is 63 m from Exit 1 of Seonjeongneung Station. Hours are Mon, Tue, Thu and Fri 09:30–19:00 and Sat 09:30–13:30; Wednesday hours are not listed in the schedule provided. Lunch hours are not available. Reservations and parking are listed as amenities, but check how they work and what the parking conditions are. Before visiting, it is best to call and ask whether the clinic treats knees, what appointment times are available, how costs are explained, and whether tests can be done. Friendliness in reviews or experiences with shoulders cannot predict how well knee treatment will work.
모두탑365정형외과의원 한티점 (Modutop 365 Orthopedic Clinic, Hanti Branch)
Modutop 365 Orthopedic Clinic Hanti Branch has 1,248 Naver reviews and 184 Kakao reviews, with a 4.5 Kakao rating and a 3.4 Google rating. A simple sum of its Naver, blog, Kakao and Google reviews comes to 3,091. Orthopedic specialist counts under HIRA criteria are not available. Reviews mention thorough explanations and physical therapy experiences, mostly for other areas such as the back and pelvis. Whether the clinic offers knee-specific care could not be confirmed from the data provided.
“The staff are kind and the director explains things clearly and thoroughly, which makes me trust him.” (Naver review)
“Both the director and the staff are kind, and the treatment works well.” (Naver review)
The address is 4–5F, 323 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and the phone number is 0507-1405-9111. It is 351 m from Exit 8 of Hanti Station. Hours are listed as Mon–Fri 09:00–20:00 and Sat–Sun 09:00–14:00, so a weekend visit is an option. Lunch hours are not in the data provided. Reservations, parking and a waiting area are listed as amenities, and one review says the wait was under 10 minutes when visiting without a reservation, but waiting times vary. If you want knee and joint care, confirm in advance which days knee treatment is available, whether you need an appointment, and the parking conditions. It is important not to stretch physical therapy experiences in reviews into evidence of knee treatment results.

Checklist for Choosing a Knee and Joint Orthopedic Clinic
- Whether they treat knees — Ask first whether the clinic treats knee pain and joint problems.
- Who will see you — Check who will provide the consultation and how many orthopedic specialists the clinic has, through the clinic or HIRA. The data collected here does not include specialist counts.
- Testing — Ask what tests are available for your symptoms, and whether you can bring outside imaging or test results.
- Treatment plan — Have the likely treatment options and the plan explained to you, and ask about anything that is unclear.
- Costs — Ask about the cost of the consultation, tests and each treatment, and whether insurance applies, before your visit.
- How to book — Check whether you can book by phone or online, and whether same-day walk-ins are accepted.
- Waiting times — Waiting times mentioned in reviews vary by day, so ask about the situation on the day you go.
- Opening hours — Check weekday evening, Saturday and Sunday hours and the lunch break. Lunch hours are not in the data provided.
- Getting there and parking — Check the distance from the station exit, whether parking is available, and the conditions for valet parking.
- What reviews can tell you — Do not read reviews about other parts of the body as evidence of knee treatment experience or results.
Warning Signs to Watch For
These are general points to check when discussing knee care; they are not statements that apply to any particular clinic.
- If treatment is rushed without a full explanation of your symptoms and test results, or your questions go unanswered, revisit the treatment plan.
- If treatment items and costs are hard to confirm in advance, ask about the cost and the reason for each option before it is carried out.
- If you are not clearly told whether the clinic treats knees, who will see you, and what tests are possible, check again before your visit.
- Do not assume your own diagnosis or treatment result based on ratings or other patients' experiences alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose a knee and joint orthopedic clinic in Gangnam-gu on ratings alone?
Ratings are one piece of reference information. Ratings differ by platform, and review content may describe care for a body part other than the knee. Confirm directly whether the clinic treats knees and what its testing and treatment plan would be.
Can I find Naver ratings and orthopedic specialist counts in this comparison?
No. The data provided did not include Naver ratings or per-clinic orthopedic specialist counts, so they are marked “Not available.” You can check with HIRA or ask the clinic directly.
Can I pick the most suitable clinic based on knee and joint treatment reviews?
A few of the reviews provided mention knee pain, but there is not enough information to compare specific diagnoses or treatment results for knee and joint conditions. Use visitor reviews only as reference material on what it is like to use the clinic.
Which clinics are good for a weekday evening visit?
Based on the schedules provided, Yangjae Bon Orthopedic Clinic is open until 20:00 Mon–Fri, Gangnam Choice Hospital and Cham Siwon Orthopedic Clinic until 19:00, and Seonhan Mokja Hospital until 18:30. Last registration times and lunch breaks need to be confirmed separately.
Do any of these clinics offer English-speaking consultations?
The data provided does not say. None of the five listings includes information about English-speaking staff, interpreters or an international patient department, so we cannot confirm it for any clinic. Call the clinic or use its booking page and ask directly whether an English-speaking doctor or interpreter will be available on the day and time you want; if you need help with the call, a Korean-speaking friend or a medical interpretation service can bridge it.
Which clinics have weekend hours?
According to the data provided, Modutop 365 Orthopedic Clinic Hanti Branch is listed as open Sat–Sun 09:00–14:00, and the other four list Saturday hours. Hours can change, so confirm before you visit.
Final Thoughts
On review volume and published ratings, Yangjae Bon Orthopedic Clinic and Gangnam Choice Hospital can be comparison candidates, but this data alone cannot determine any clinic's knee and joint expertise or treatment results. Check the location and opening hours, then call and ask about knee care, who will see you, testing, costs and how to book before deciding. This article is a comparison of the reviews and registration data provided and is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment. Decisions about your symptoms and treatment should be made in consultation with a clinician. Last updated: 2026-11-07
