Key Takeaways
If you are looking for an English-speaking clinic in Pyeongtaek (평택), be aware that language support varies by clinic, and none of the hospitals below is confirmed in the available data to have English-speaking staff or an interpreter service. Call the clinic or check its own booking page before visiting to ask whether an English-speaking doctor or interpreter can be arranged. Bring your passport or Alien Registration Card, a list of your current medications, and any previous imaging or medical records.
Looking only at the collected Naver and Kakao review counts, Pyeongtaek Woori Hospital (평택우리병원) has the highest with 1,675 combined, followed by Yonsei Daum Hospital (연세다움병원) with 1,150. Pyeongtaek Woori Hospital was listed with a Kakao Map rating of 3.9 and a Google rating of 3.8, while no rating was available for Yonsei Daum Hospital. Bakae Hospital (박애병원) has 250 Naver reviews and a listed Google rating of 3.8, but its Google review count is recorded as 0, so that rating should be read with caution. Review counts and ratings do not directly prove surgical outcomes or a hospital's surgical capability. The number of orthopedic specialists at each of the three hospitals and whether they perform joint replacement surgery could not be confirmed in the collected data, so asking the hospital directly before a consultation comes first.
How We Compared
The comparison is based on the 2,688 Naver Place visitor reviews and 387 Kakao Map reviews recorded in the collected summary. The combined review count across the two platforms is 3,075, and the average Kakao Map rating of the selected hospitals was given as 3.9. Per-hospital review counts were copied exactly as recorded in each hospital's data. Total reviews per hospital were calculated by adding the Naver and Kakao review counts; blog reviews were excluded from the totals because they differ in nature from visitor reviews. The number of orthopedic specialists was not confirmed for any of the three hospitals in the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration data. Because the data contains no lunch-break or after-hours information, those items are also marked as needing confirmation.
Yonsei Daum Hospital (연세다움병원)
Yonsei Daum Hospital was listed with 1,138 Naver reviews, 593 blog reviews and 12 Kakao reviews. Naver and Kakao visitor reviews together total 1,150. That is the second-highest review count of the three, but no rating is included in the data, and its number of orthopedic specialists under Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service criteria was not confirmed. Review volume alone therefore cannot establish that a hospital is the right choice for joint replacement surgery. Whether it performs joint replacement surgery, and whether the relevant medical staff and surgical consultations are available, must be checked directly with the hospital.
"While my mother was admitted, the staff took good care of her. Perhaps because of her age, her recovery was slower than we expected." (Naver review, September 2, 2026)
"I visited to have some documents issued and they handled it well." (Naver review, October 1, 2026)
The address is 경기 평택시 중앙로 105 (105, Jungang-ro, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do) and the phone number is 031-651-1311. Hours are listed as 09:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 09:00–13:00 on Saturday. After-hours care and lunch breaks are not included in the supplied data, so check before you visit. Public transport access and amenities were also not confirmed.
Visitor reviews mention that the elevator routes differ between the main building and the annex, and that the elevator next to the information desk is the closest one when heading to the basement physical therapy room. Because this is one visitor's experience of the building layout, it is worth asking the information desk for the route that fits your actual purpose. Some reviews also mention parking, but the data does not state whether parking is available or on what terms, so ask in advance. The booking method was not confirmed either.
As a cost reference, out-of-pocket payment for single-knee replacement covered by National Health Insurance is given as approximately KRW 2–4 million, excluding higher-tier room charges and non-covered materials. Actual costs vary with individual coverage and the items involved, so request a detailed estimate from the hospital. Whether this hospital performs this surgery could not be confirmed in the collected data.
Bakae Hospital (박애병원)
Bakae Hospital was listed with 250 Naver reviews, 453 blog reviews and 0 Kakao reviews, giving a combined Naver and Kakao visitor review total of 250. Its Google rating is recorded as 3.8, but the Google review count is also 0. The rating is therefore hard to interpret as the accumulated result of reviews, and comparing it directly with other hospitals has clear limits. The number of orthopedic specialists was not confirmed in the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration data. The collected visitor reviews centre on flu vaccinations and internal medicine visits, so they are difficult to read as evidence of joint replacement consultations or surgical experience.
"I visited for a flu shot. Friendly staff." (Naver review, November 8, 2025)
"I saw Director Bang Su-min in internal medicine. There were many patients so I waited a while, but the explanation was kind and detailed, which I liked." (Naver review, November 4, 2025)
The address is 경기 평택시 평택2로20번길 3 (3, Pyeongtaek 2-ro 20beon-gil, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do), and the phone number is 031-652-2121. It is listed as 445 m from Pyeongtaek Station Exit 1, making it the one hospital here with published station-distance information. Hours are 08:30–17:30 Monday to Friday and 08:30–13:00 on Saturday. No after-hours or lunch-break information was provided, so confirm by phone.
Booking method, parking and amenities are not in the data. Before visiting, it is worth calling to check whether orthopedic care is available, whether an appointment is required, and what the parking conditions are. Among its online presences, a Naver blog is provided. The care experiences that appear in reviews are individual cases and do not stand in for the scope of orthopedic care or whether joint replacement surgery is available.
The reference information on joint replacement surgery is out-of-pocket payment of approximately KRW 2–4 million for single-knee replacement under National Health Insurance coverage, excluding higher-tier rooms and non-covered materials. Reference material states that it may be performed in severe arthritis in patients aged 65 and over, and that an artificial joint is viewed as lasting 15–20 years. Whether surgery is necessary for you, and whether the hospital performs it, must be confirmed in consultation.
Pyeongtaek Woori Hospital (평택우리병원)
Pyeongtaek Woori Hospital has 1,300 Naver reviews and 375 Kakao reviews, for a combined visitor review total of 1,675 across the two platforms — the highest combined Naver and Kakao visitor review count of the three. Its Kakao rating was given as 3.9 and its Google rating as 3.8, but the Google review count is recorded as 0. The number of orthopedic specialists was not confirmed in the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration data. Reviews include experience of care for a herniated disc, but that cannot be stretched into evidence of joint replacement surgical volume or outcomes.
"I visited because of a herniated disc and the director examined me thoroughly, which was good. Thank you." (Naver review, October 12, 2026)
"The hospital is generally clean and well organized, so it is easy to use. The staff at the desk are kind as well." (Naver review, October 10, 2026)
The address is 경기 평택시 비전5로 20-18 (20-18, Bijeon 5-ro, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do) and the phone number is 1833-2433. Hours are listed as 09:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 09:00–13:00 on Saturday. After-hours care and lunch breaks are not in the material and need separate confirmation. Public transport access was not provided. Listed amenities include booking, parking, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, and group use.
Booking and parking facilities are confirmed to exist, but the booking method and parking conditions are not given in detail, so call before visiting. Website, blog and Instagram addresses are provided. The reviews are visitors' opinions about care and facilities and do not guarantee any individual patient's diagnosis or treatment outcome.
Whether joint replacement surgery is performed, who the responsible medical staff are, and the pre-surgical testing and rehabilitation plan could not be confirmed in the data. In consultation, ask for the estimated out-of-pocket cost for single-knee replacement and the non-covered items to be broken out separately. The reference cost is approximately KRW 2–4 million under National Health Insurance coverage, excluding higher-tier room charges and non-covered materials. Whether surgery is appropriate for you must be discussed with the medical staff based on your individual condition.

Checklist for Choosing a Joint Replacement Orthopedic Clinic
- Whether surgery is offered — First confirm that the hospital performs joint replacement surgery.
- Medical staff — Confirm who actually handles consultations and surgery, and how many orthopedic specialists there are. The collected material contains no specialist counts.
- Whether surgery is appropriate — Discuss whether surgery is needed based on your joint condition and treatment history.
- Treatment options — Ask what non-surgical options exist and have the benefits and limits of each explained.
- Cost items — Check National Health Insurance coverage, your out-of-pocket amount, non-covered materials and higher-tier room charges separately.
- Admission and recovery plan — Ask the hospital about the length of stay and the post-surgical care and rehabilitation plan.
- Surgical experience — Ask what surgical experience and per-patient outcome data the hospital can share, while treating any promise of a guaranteed personal result with caution.
- Booking and schedule — Confirm how to book, the available consultation hours, and whether there is a lunch break or after-hours care.
- Getting there and parking — Ask in advance about public transport, parking conditions, wheelchair access and routes inside the building.
Red Flags to Watch For
- Being rushed toward surgery without a full review of your diagnosis and individual condition
- Vague total costs that do not separate National Health Insurance coverage from non-covered items
- Firm guarantees about surgical results or how long an artificial joint will last for you personally
- Difficulty confirming the responsible medical staff, whether the surgery is performed, or the post-surgical care plan — or unsatisfactory answers to your questions
The points above are general precautions to check during a consultation. They do not describe how any particular hospital actually practises.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which hospital in Pyeongtaek has the most reviews for joint replacement orthopedics?
Adding Naver and Kakao visitor reviews together, Pyeongtaek Woori Hospital is highest with 1,675, followed by Yonsei Daum Hospital with 1,150. Review counts show the volume of user opinion only, not a ranking of surgical capability or treatment outcomes.
Is the number of orthopedic specialists confirmed for any of the three hospitals?
The supplied Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration data does not confirm orthopedic specialist counts for any of the three hospitals. Check the latest staffing information directly with the hospital or with the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service.
Can I tell which hospital performs joint replacement surgery, or which is better?
The collected data contains no information on whether the three hospitals perform joint replacement surgery, how many procedures they carry out, or their outcomes. It is therefore not possible to say that one is better at surgery. Before a consultation, ask whether the surgery is performed, who the responsible medical staff are, and what the treatment plan would be.
How much does single-knee joint replacement surgery cost?
According to the supplied reference information, out-of-pocket payment under National Health Insurance coverage is approximately KRW 2–4 million, excluding higher-tier room charges and non-covered materials. Because this varies with individual coverage and with each hospital's itemization, ask for a detailed estimate.
Can I book an English-speaking consultation at these hospitals, and what should I bring?
None of the data summarized here records whether any of the three hospitals has English-speaking staff, an interpreter service or an international patient desk, so this must be confirmed by phone or through the hospital's own booking page before you visit. When you call, ask directly whether an English-speaking doctor or interpreter can be arranged for an orthopedic consultation. Bring your passport or Alien Registration Card, a list of your current medications, and any previous X-rays or MRI images.
How long does an artificial joint last?
The supplied reference material views an artificial joint as lasting 15–20 years. This is reference information only, and actual service life varies with individual circumstances. Ask your medical staff what applies in your case.
Final Thoughts
On review volume alone, Pyeongtaek Woori Hospital and Yonsei Daum Hospital hold comparatively large numbers of visitor reviews. Reviews and ratings alone, however, cannot determine suitability for joint replacement surgery or the surgical capability of the medical staff. Because the number of orthopedic specialists and whether each hospital performs the surgery could not be confirmed, contact the hospitals directly and use the consultation to go over costs, treatment options and the recovery plan together. Before you book, confirm whether the hospital can arrange an English-speaking consultation, since language support varies by clinic. This article summarizes the supplied material and is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment. Specific treatment decisions should be made in consultation with a physician.
