General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.
- ✗ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Markets 'sleep implants'/'sleep-system' but explicitly describes conscious sedation with patient 'relaxed and stable', not general anesthesia. [s1]
Summary
English-speaking dental clinic marketed to Seoul-area foreigners but physically located in Goyang-si (Gyeonggi-do), near Samsong Station Exit 3. Offers implants, orthodontics, pediatric, emergency, oral surgery, cosmetic, periodontal and prosthodontic care. Led by Dr. Yuho Doh (Seoul National University; Johns Hopkins background).
Despite 'Seoul' branding, the address is in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do (Seoul metropolitan area), not within Seoul city limits. The listed phone number appeared to be a placeholder.

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: 서울오늘치과의원 — HIRA-registered 치과의원 (건강보험심사평가원 세부조건별 의료기관 찾기), 경기도 고양시 덕양구 동송로 63, 3층 (삼송동) (Re-checked 2026-08-26: the prior search tried 5 name/keyword variants — '서울투데이', '투데이', '동송로', '삼송', '덴티스트코리아' — under the correct region (경기/고양덕양구) but missed the clinic's actual registered Korean name. The clinic's own Google Maps listing gives that name as '서울오늘치과의원' (a translated 'Seoul-Today', not the phonetic-loanword transliteration '서울투데이' originally tried). HIRA 세부조건별 의료기관 찾기 (지역=경기, 구=고양덕양구, 종별=치과의원): searched '서울오늘' — 1 result, address (동송로 63, 3층, 삼송동) matches clinics.json's '3F, 63 Dongsong-ro, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do' exactly. Supersedes the prior verified-false determination.) [seoul-today-dental-lic]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-26 | License verification 2026-08-26, re-checked 2026-08-26 against HIRA (건강보험심사평가원): clinic confirmed as registered 서울오늘치과의원 at 경기도 고양시 덕양구 동송로 63, 3층 (삼송동), exactly matching the address on file. The prior verified-false call had used the correct Gyeonggi-do/Goyang Deogyang-gu region filter but only tried transliteration-guess name variants; the clinic's actual Korean legal name — a translated rather than transliterated 'Seoul Today', 서울오늘치과의원 — was found via its own Google Maps listing. No public name-searchable dentist licence register exists in South Korea (lic.mohw.go.kr is document/barcode verification only) — the named doctor left null with that note. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live at dentistskorea.com, name/address unchanged, clinic open. The site itself still shows only a placeholder contact form (no real phone published); Google Maps supplied a phone number (+82-2-6404-2875, previously unset) — recorded. Newly captured rating 4.9 (108 reviews, most recent review ~2 months old) with pin coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Markets 'sleep implants'/'sleep-system' but explicitly describes conscious sedation with patient 'relaxed and stable', not general anesthesia. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address unchanged. Site currently displays a placeholder phone number (555-555-5555), clearly not a real contact number, so phone remains unrecorded (stored value already unset). Google reputation not captured — search tools unreachable this session (WebSearch budget exhausted; Google/Maps/Bing/DuckDuckGo/Yandex blocked). |
