Hi everyone! I'm Yating from Taiwan. I'm recently considering getting a treatment in Korea, but honestly, I'm a bit worried about coming to a foreign place alone. My English is okay, but I'm not sure if consultations at clinics can all be done in English, or if I definitely need to find one with a translator?
I'd like to ask everyone, how do you find clinics you trust? Are there any specific things to pay attention to? For example, what should I ask during the first consultation, and what information should I confirm? I've seen some people online say it's best to look for places with experience with international patients – is that true?
Also, would it be more reassuring if the clinic has Chinese translators or staff? Or should I still be careful to confirm details even with a translator? I really want to find a place that makes me feel at ease, otherwise, I'm a bit flustered being alone in Seoul… Has anyone had experience they can share? 🙏
Didn't find the answer you needed?
Ask it yourself and people who've been there will answer. We'll let you know when a reply arrives.

Hi Yating! I also get a bit nervous coming to Korea alone, haha. May I ask, have you ever had online consultations with a few places before leaving, or do you prefer to just come and look around? I'm curious how you set up your schedule 😊
I'm also considering this, so I completely understand how you feel! 🥺 I think it's best to look for places with experience with international patients, as they are usually better prepared for questions and step-by-step details. You might consider whether you need an additional translator, but the most important thing is to feel comfortable communicating with them from the very first interaction.
