This article summarizes the registered information for 5 of them, ordered by the number of specialists. HIRA publishes the number of board-certified dermatologists, consultation hours, year of establishment and other details as reported by hospitals and clinics located in Seocho-gu. Because this data is administrative information as of the date of reporting, you should reconfirm with the institution whether the department is operating and what its hours are before visiting.
Whether a physician is registered with HIRA as a board-certified dermatologist is one basis for confirming that the doctor completed internship and residency training and passed the specialty board examination. However, the registered headcount is administrative data from a specific point in time and does not guarantee actual consultation schedules or the range of services available, so details should be confirmed directly with the institution before visiting.

Useful to know
What is the difference between a board-certified specialist and a general practitioner
A board-certified specialist is a physician who, after obtaining a medical license, completed internship and residency training and passed the specialty board examination for that field. A general practitioner is a physician who obtained only a medical license without completing separate specialty training. Even if 'dermatology' appears in the name of a medical institution, whether a board-certified dermatologist works there is a separate matter, so it is necessary to check the registration status through public data.
Meaning and limitations of HIRA registration information
The number of specialists registered with HIRA is administrative data indicating the number of specialists affiliated with the institution as of a specific point in time. This figure may not reflect staffing changes after the reporting date, and it does not show whether care is actually available or whether a particular procedure is performed. Use the registered headcount as reference material, but it is safer to reconfirm the latest information by telephone or on the institution's website before visiting.
How to confirm weekday evening and weekend hours
Because registered consultation hours differ by institution, whether care extends into weekday evenings or is available on Saturdays is an item to confirm before visiting. The confirmation steps are as follows. First, search the institution name in the hospital information service on the HIRA website to check the registered hours by day of the week. Second, check with the hospital's website or main telephone number for any same-day changes to hours. Third, hours may be adjusted without separate notice around public holidays or traditional holiday periods, so reconfirm immediately before visiting.
Frequently asked questions
Q. How can I check whether a board-certified dermatologist is present
If you access the hospital information service on the HIRA website and search the name of the medical institution, you can check the number of board-certified specialists by department as reported by that institution. Since this is data as of the reporting date, it is more accurate to follow up by calling the hospital to reconfirm the current status.
Q. Does a larger number of specialists mean better care
The registered number of specialists is only administrative information indicating how many specialty-trained physicians were affiliated with the institution at that point in time; it does not indicate the quality of care or whether a particular procedure is available. Whether the specific service or procedure you need is provided must be confirmed separately with the institution.
Q. How do I find a hospital open on weekday evenings or Saturdays
Because registered weekday closing times and Saturday availability differ by institution, first check the hours by day of the week in the HIRA hospital information service. After that, it is advisable to call the institution you plan to visit and reconfirm whether it is open that day and its exact closing time.
