Medical content policy

Doctor information comes from materials published on the official website by each university hospital. This includes name, hospital, department, specialty, education and career.

• When the hospital's official information is updated, GoodDoctorNet updates too.
• Records whose names could not be fully confirmed are kept out of search engine indexes.
• If a doctor or their hospital asks, we check and then correct the information or stop showing it.

GoodDoctorNet has two kinds of ratings, and each has different rules about who can write them.

• Medical professional's opinion — Only doctor members whose license has been checked with the Ministry of Health and Welfare can write these. The weight depends on how closely the writer's specialty and training relate.
• Patient review — Written by members who verified their identity by phone. Reviews with proof of treatment are marked separately.

Not just anyone can leave an anonymous star rating, so ratings are based on real treatment experience and expert judgment. We never steer reviews for or against any doctor, and never post reviews in return for payment.

Condition information and health news are written based on Korean and international clinical guidelines, medical society materials and public health agency materials. Each page shows the last reviewed date so you know when the information was checked.

• Content that changes often, such as treatments and medicines, is checked again regularly.
• Pages reviewed by a medical expert show the reviewer and review date.
• We do not write content to promote any hospital, product or procedure.

GoodDoctorNet's health information is for general understanding and does not replace diagnosis, prescription or treatment for individual patients. If you have symptoms, please see a doctor at a medical facility.

Areas that contain ads are clearly marked as ads. Advertising does not affect search result order or doctor ratings.

If you find wrong information, please let us know. We check your report against the original source (official hospital materials, society guidelines, etc.), correct it, and reply with the result.
