Key Takeaways
If you are a foreign patient in Jeonju, know that language support varies by clinic and cannot be assumed; confirm it by phone or on the clinic’s booking page before you go. Bring your passport or ARC, a Korean phone number if you have one, and any previous X-rays, MRI scans, or medical records. If you need an English-speaking consultation, ask specifically whether an English-speaking doctor or staff member is available at your appointment time.

How We Analyzed
This comparison is based on 4,573 Naver Place visitor reviews, 255 Kakao Map reviews, and Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration data. The average Kakao Map rating for the five selected clinics was provided as 2.7. The total review count for each hospital is the sum of the Naver review, blog review, Kakao review, and Google review counts listed for that hospital; it is not possible to verify whether reviews overlap across platforms. Ratings are shown only for platforms that had a score in the source data. Naver ratings were not provided by hospital, and for places listed with 0 Google reviews, the Google rating is shown only when a separate rating was provided. Orthopedic specialist counts reflect only what was listed in the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service data.
동산정형외과의원 (Dongsan Orthopedic Clinic)
동산정형외과의원 (Dongsan Orthopedic Clinic) has 139 Naver reviews, 132 blog reviews, and 1 Kakao review, for a total of 272. Its Kakao rating is 2, and Naver and Google ratings are not confirmed in the provided data. The Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration data lists 1 orthopedic specialist, specialties in orthopedics, internal medicine, pediatrics, neurosurgery, and rehabilitation medicine, 1 bone density scanner, 1 general X-ray unit, and 1 ultrasound imaging device. This is registration data and does not guarantee the detailed scope of knee care or whether specific tests are available.
“The director was kind and explained things in detail, which was great. The physical therapists were kind too, and they even showed me exercises I could do at home, which helped a lot. Highly recommend!!” (Naver review, February 27, 2026)
“They were kind and examined me thoroughly.” (Naver review, June 20, 2025)
Address: 전북 전주시 덕진구 쪽구름로 74 송산빌딩 1층 (1F Songsan Building, 74 Jjokgureum-ro, Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do); phone: 063-214-8119. The provided hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 09:00–18:30, and Thursday and Saturday 09:00–12:30. Sunday hours and lunch breaks are not in the data. Transportation and parking information are also unconfirmed, so ask before visiting. Reviews mention having explanations during consultation and being shown home exercises, while other comments mention noise in the physical therapy room. These are individual visitors’ experiences. Whether the clinic specializes in knee joints, how booking works, and whether same-day tests are possible cannot be determined from public data alone, so it is better to call and check.
전주바로병원 (Jeonju Baro Hospital)
전주바로병원 (Jeonju Baro Hospital) has 125 Naver reviews, 268 blog reviews, and 235 Kakao reviews, for a total of 628. Its Google rating was provided as 1.8, while Kakao and Naver ratings are not confirmed. In the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service data, the number of orthopedic specialists was not provided. Therefore, it is difficult to judge the orthopedic medical team or suitability for knee care from review counts and ratings alone. Reviews mention rehabilitation treatment and experiences with shoulder pain care, but there is no data confirming knee-joint treatment cases or detailed areas of practice.
“I have been going continuously for rehabilitation treatment, and it is spacious and comfortable. They provide care very well and are kind. Thanks to that, I feel like I am recovering quickly.” (Naver review, September 15, 2026)
“They provided good care, and my shoulder hurt a lot, but after treatment here it improved a lot. This is a hospital I trust and keep going to.” (Naver review, September 15, 2026)
The source data lists only the hospital name, so the exact address cannot be specified. Phone: 063-222-8001. The provided hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 08:30–18:30; Thursday and Friday 08:30–17:30; and Saturday 08:30–12:30. Lunch hours are not confirmed, and whether evening care is available is not confirmed in the data. Website: http://www.전주바로병원.com. Ask before visiting about the address and parking, how booking works, and which medical staff handle knee care and whether tests are available. Reviews include both positive rehabilitation treatment experiences and experiences with short consultations or unfriendly service, so it is best not to generalize individual comments as the whole hospital’s characteristics.
다사랑병원 (Dasarang Hospital)
다사랑병원 (Dasarang Hospital) has 1,465 Naver reviews, 799 blog reviews, and 3 Kakao reviews, for a total of 2,267. Its Kakao rating is 2.8, and its Google rating is 3.6. The number of orthopedic specialists according to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service is not in the data. Reviews include various types of visits, such as treatment for a high fever, prescriptions for migraine medication, and care on a day off, so they are difficult to interpret as evaluations of orthopedics or knee care. Whether the hospital focuses on knee joints and whether it provides tests and treatment for such symptoms must be confirmed directly with the hospital.
“I suddenly had a high fever, so I visited and received an IV. Today the wait time was short, within 10 minutes! Above all, even more than the doctor, the nurses were kind and took good care of me, so this is a place that puts my mind at ease every time I come!” (Naver review, September 20, 2026)
“At Dasarang Hospital, the treatment process was systematic and the staff kindly guided me, so I could receive care comfortably. The inside of the hospital was clean, and overall I was satisfied.” (Naver review, July 4, 2026)
Address: 전북 전주시 완산구 백제대로 74 다사랑병원 (Dasarang Hospital, 74 Baekje-daero, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do); phone: 063-228-5540. Hours are not in the provided data, so check before visiting. Booking, parking, wireless internet, and separate men’s and women’s restrooms are listed as amenities, but the conditions of use need separate confirmation. Website: http://jdasarang1.drline.net/. Public transit access, lunch hours, and whether evening care is available were not provided. One review mentions a short wait, but that does not mean wait times are always the same. If you plan to visit for knee pain, first ask whether orthopedic care is available, whether booking is required, and whether the needed imaging tests can be done.
에코삼성정형외과의원 (Eco Samseong Orthopedic Clinic)
에코삼성정형외과의원 (Eco Samseong Orthopedic Clinic) has 2,730 Naver reviews, 146 blog reviews, and 4 Kakao reviews, for a total of 2,880. The provided Google rating is 1.8, while Kakao and Naver ratings are not confirmed. The number of orthopedic specialists according to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service was not provided. Reviews include various visits, such as for shoulder pain, rehabilitation schedules, ankle sprains, and lower back discomfort, but there is no data confirming expertise in knee-joint care or treatment outcomes. Therefore, having the highest review count alone does not mean it is good at knee care.
“My shoulder has been troublesome for years, so I went to various places, but after coming here I don’t think about going anywhere else. The director looked at the X-ray and explained where the problem was, so it made sense.” (Naver review, October 6, 2026)
“They worked with me to set a rehabilitation schedule that fit my life and checked each step of my recovery, so I trusted and followed along. Three months later, on the day I went back to exercise, I thanked the therapist.” (Naver review, October 6, 2026)
Address: 전북 전주시 덕진구 세병남로 25 2층, 3층, 4층 (2F, 3F, and 4F, 25 Sebyeongnam-ro, Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do); phone: 0507-1471-5582. The provided hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 09:00–20:00; Wednesday 09:00–19:00; Saturday 09:00–19:00; and Sunday 09:00–18:30.

Booking, parking, wireless internet, and separate men’s and women’s restrooms are listed as amenities. Before visiting, check the available times for knee care, how to book, and the conditions for parking. Website: https://www.ecosamsung.com. Because knee-joint specialization information is not provided, it is practical to ask directly whether the clinic can provide the relevant care and tests.
의료법인 영경의료재단 호성전주병원 (Hoseong Jeonju Hospital, Yeonggyeong Medical Foundation)
호성전주병원 (Hoseong Jeonju Hospital) has 114 Naver reviews, 212 blog reviews, and 12 Kakao reviews, for a total of 338. Its Kakao rating is 3.3, and its Google rating is 3.8; its Naver rating is not confirmed. In the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service data, the number of orthopedic specialists was not provided. Reviews include experiences with the emergency room, health checkups, appointment booking, and waiting for imaging tests, so they cannot be seen as direct evaluations of knee-joint care. Emergency room operation information is listed under amenities, but general orthopedic care and emergency room use may differ in purpose and procedure, so check in advance.
“Hoseong Jeonju Hospital appointment booking — after booking, I waited and then entered right away. The kind nurse and doctor explained things well, and it felt like I was seen quickly.” (Naver review, October 29, 2025)
“Hoseong Jeonju Hospital appointment booking — the parking area right next to the hospital is difficult, but there is also a ground parking lot right across the street. CT or X-ray tests seem to be busiest on Mondays.” (Naver review, February 20, 2025)
Address: 전북 전주시 덕진구 동부대로 895 (895 Dongbu-daero, Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do); phone: 063-240-8800. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 08:30–17:30, and Saturday 08:30–12:30. Friday and Sunday hours and lunch hours are not in the data. Booking, wireless internet, separate men’s and women’s restrooms, waiting areas, emergency room operation, parking, and valet parking are listed as amenities. One review mentions that parking near the hospital was difficult and that the person used the ground parking lot across the street, but current parking conditions should be confirmed with the hospital. The review saying imaging tests were crowded on Monday is also an individual experience. Ask before visiting about which medical staff handle knee care, whether tests are available, and booking and reception cutoff times. Knee-joint specialization information was not provided.

Knee Orthopedic Clinic Selection Checklist
- Whether knee care is available — First confirm that the clinic treats knee pain and joint problems.
- Medical staff — Ask whether an orthopedic specialist provides care and who the treating clinician will be; distinguish between provided specialist-count data and actual appointment availability.
- Tests for your symptoms — If needed, confirm which tests can be done and whether same-day testing is possible.
- Hours and reception cutoff — Published hours and actual reception availability may differ, so confirm by phone.
- Lunch hours — Some clinics have no lunch hours listed, so check whether they are open before visiting.
- Booking method — Confirm whether booking is available and whether to use phone, website, or another method.
- Parking and transport — Check parking availability, conditions, and the clinic’s location within the building. For places without transport information, review the route in advance.
- Treatment plan explanation — Organize your symptoms and history so you can ask the clinician about the diagnosis, treatment options, and expected follow-up plan.
- Limits of reviews — Review counts and ratings are individual experiences and do not guarantee knee-care results or that a treatment is right for you.
Warning Signs to Check
The following are not criteria for pointing to a specific hospital, but things to check when choosing or discussing care.
- If you are being rushed into a treatment decision without an explanation of your symptoms, examination findings, and why tests are needed, ask again about the treatment and its purpose.
- If costs, number of treatments, booking, and follow-up plans are unclear, request an item-by-item explanation before proceeding.
- If you feel a treatment or test unrelated to your knee symptoms is being recommended, ask about the rationale and alternatives, and if necessary seek another clinician’s opinion.
- Do not judge a hospital’s expertise or treatment results only from online ratings or reviews. The provided data contains no knee-joint specialization information for individual hospitals.
Frequently Asked Questions
When choosing a knee orthopedic clinic in Jeonju, should I pick the one with the most reviews?
You cannot conclude that. In the provided figures, 에코삼성정형외과의원 (Eco Samseong Orthopedic Clinic) has the highest combined review count at 2,880, but review count does not indicate knee-care expertise or treatment results. Check both whether knee care is available and who the medical staff are.
Which hospitals specialize in knee joints?
The provided data has no basis for confirming which of the five specializes in knee joints. Before visiting, ask the hospital which medical staff handle knee care, the scope of care, and whether tests are available.
Where can I check the number of orthopedic specialists?
The Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service data lists 동산정형외과의원 (Dongsan Orthopedic Clinic) as having 1 orthopedic specialist. For the other four, the number of specialists is not confirmed in the provided data. Missing information does not mean there are no specialists, so check further with the hospital or HIRA.
Are there places open on weekday evenings or weekends?
Based on the provided hours, 에코삼성정형외과의원 (Eco Samseong Orthopedic Clinic) lists Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday until 20:00, and 전주바로병원 (Jeonju Baro Hospital) lists Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday until 18:30. All five have some Saturday hours listed, and 에코삼성정형외과의원 (Eco Samseong Orthopedic Clinic) also lists Sunday hours. Confirm reception cutoff times and holiday operations separately.
Can I get an English-speaking consultation in Jeonju, and how should I check?
The provided data does not identify any specific clinic with English-speaking staff, and it does not confirm Japanese, Chinese, or Thai language support either. Language support varies by clinic and must be confirmed by phone or on the clinic’s booking page. Ask whether an English-speaking doctor or staff member is available at your appointment time, and bring your passport or ARC and any previous imaging or records.
How much should review ratings influence choosing a hospital?
Reviews can be used as reference material based on individual experiences, but you need to check whether the review is about knee care. Ratings and review counts differ by platform, and Naver ratings are not included in this data, so it is best not to conclude suitability for care from ratings alone.
Final Thoughts
When researching knee orthopedic clinics in Jeonju, review counts and ratings are only one reference point. In this data, 에코삼성정형외과의원 (Eco Samseong Orthopedic Clinic) and 다사랑병원 (Dasarang Hospital) stand out for combined review counts, but knee-joint specialization by hospital was not confirmed. 동산정형외과의원 (Dongsan Orthopedic Clinic) is listed in Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration data as having 1 orthopedic specialist. Before visiting, confirm directly whether knee care is available, who the medical staff are, whether tests are possible, booking and parking, and the exact hours. This article summarizes provided collected data and is not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Discuss your individual symptoms and treatment decisions with a clinician.
