- Confirm the clinic director is a board-certified dermatologist if the name includes ‘dermatology’.
- Check if the treatment plan is written in English before booking.
- Verify payment methods accepted before booking to avoid issues.

- Request a detailed quote that lists all included costs clearly.
For reference, JM피부과 (JM Skin Clinic) is located in Seocho-gu near Gangnam Station, and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jeongmin Kim treats patients directly.
What should I ask during the consultation?
