The key idea
Identify the clinic and treating clinician, then confirm communication, the proposed treatment, the complete quote and follow-up. A recommendation is a starting point for these checks.
Check the clinic's identity
Ask for the clinic's Korean name and address and check the Medical Korea registered-hospital directory. Treat registration information as one check, not a ranking or a guarantee of a particular result. Ask the clinic directly about the qualifications and role of the person who will treat you.
Clarify who will explain the plan
Ask whether the treating clinician can consult in your language or whether an interpreter will attend. Confirm whether that support also covers consent, written instructions and questions after the appointment.
Request the plan in writing
Ask for the proposed product or device, area, quantity, alternatives and final quote. Check who handles follow-up, how to reach them and which costs are separate. Leave room to ask questions before deciding.
Understand why a clinic was suggested
Ask which of your preferences the clinic matches and which support is included. Keauty does not offer paid placement. A price listing in a Keauty guide is a source example, not a clinic endorsement.
