Every time-sensitive fact needs a source and a date.

Clinic inclusion

A clinic must have a Seoul location, a clinic-controlled information page and an English reservation, contact or international messaging route that a visitor can open. Inclusion does not establish accreditation, specialty certification or treatment quality.

Price handling

We publish a price only when the amount is visible on a clinic-owned page or official clinic document. We keep the item label, branch, promotion status, eligibility, expiry and VAT wording beside the number. We do not convert unlike packages into rankings or estimate missing totals.

Hotel inclusion

A hotel must have a current English information page and an English booking route. Official booking pages are preferred; clearly identified travel-platform pages may be used when necessary. Rates and inventory are never treated as fixed.

What our dates mean

A source-check date records when that particular source was checked; it is not a guarantee that the provider has left its offer unchanged. A page update may improve wording, navigation or a tool without rechecking every source. We keep these dates separate and do not refresh all price dates when one item changes.

Displayed prices are a limited set of documented examples, not a city-wide survey or a market average. Missing prices mean that the display conditions were not met; they do not mean a treatment is free or unavailable. Confirm the branch, item, tax, extras, eligibility and appointment date directly.

Updates and corrections

New records are checked before publication. Expired promotions are removed or marked unavailable, broken links are corrected and material changes update the relevant record. If a source cannot be verified, the claim is withheld rather than inferred.

Report a correction with the affected URL, the exact statement and a current official source. Do not send medical records or identity documents. A correction request is not a booking enquiry, and we do not promise a response deadline.

AI assistance and first-hand claims

AI tools assist with research, drafting, translation and site maintenance. A generated answer, search snippet or third-party directory is not sufficient evidence for a clinic price. We link to clinic-owned, hotel-owned and public-authority sources and do not invent a visit, patient review, credential, award or medical assessment.

The publisher is Alternative Korea. No medical-reviewer or specialty-certification claim is made unless a named, authorized reviewer and the scope of that review are explicitly documented.

Using and citing this guide

When referring to a price, retain the clinic and branch, exact item, amount, VAT, eligibility, expiry and source-check date. Link to the relevant Alternative Korea page and its original provider source; do not reuse an amount as an unconditional quote or combine unlike items into a ranking.

Commercial separation

Paid placement does not determine clinic inclusion, order, price-comparison content or medical claims. Active compensated accommodation and non-medical travel links are disclosed beside the affected link and technically marked as sponsored. A clearly separated site-wide connectivity banner may appear above the navigation, including on clinic and price pages, but clinic content does not contain treatment-related affiliate advertising.
