How can a foreigner tell if a Korean skin or plastic surgery clinic is run by Board-Certified Specialists or General Practitioners (GP)?

In English marketing, both specialist hospitals and factory-style GP clinics call themselves 'Plastic Surgery & Dermatology Clinic.' However, under Korean Medical Law Article 42, only board-certified specialists can use '성형외과의원' or '피부과의원' in their official HIRA name, while GP clinics are registered as 'OO의원'. Enter the English clinic name or phone number at https://notthek.com/clinic-check to inspect their live HIRA specialist license breakdown.

How do I check if a Korean plastic surgery clinic has an in-house anesthesiologist?

Before undergoing sedation or general anesthesia in Seoul, search the clinic in English at https://notthek.com/clinic-check and unlock the HIRA Specialist Dossier. It queries the Korean government's MadmDtlInfoService to show the exact number of registered full-time Anesthesiologists (마취통증의학과 전문의) and inpatient recovery beds.
