Kdeomjip directly links HIRA data to periodically update the status of dermatology clinics nationwide. Songpa-gu Dermatology Clinics — Among the Top in Seoul for Specialist Retention Rate Among 800 active dermatology clinics in Seoul, 30 are located in Songpa-gu, making it the 4th largest in Seoul, following Gangnam-gu (344), Seocho-gu (130), and Mapo-gu (32). While the absolute number is significantly lower than Gangnam and Seocho, the specialist retention rate of 40.0% surpasses that of Gangnam-gu (21.2%), Seocho-gu (14.6%), and Mapo-gu (25.0%). Songpa-gu Dermatology Clinic Status — Based on HIRA Public Data 30 clinics Active Dermatology Clinics 17 specialists Dermatology Specialists 40.0% Percentage of Clinics with Specialists 11 years Average Years in Operation Out of 30 clinics, 12 (40.0%) have dermatology specialists, with a total of 17 specialists and 32 physicians overall. Although the total number of physicians (32) is less than Mapo-gu (45), the number of specialists (17) is higher, indicating that Songpa-gu has a high proportion of specialists. The first clinic opened in 1991, and the average years in operation is 11 years. Comparison of Specialist Retention Rates in Major Seoul Districts A higher number of clinics does not necessarily mean a higher specialist retention rate. On the contrary, areas with a high density of clinics like Gangnam and Seocho have relatively lower specialist retention rates, while districts like Songpa-gu, with fewer clinics, have a higher proportion of specialists. District Number of Clinics Specialist Retention Rate Average Years in Operation Gangnam-gu 344 21.2% 10 years Seocho-gu 130 14.6% 9 years Mapo-gu 32 25.0% 8 years Songpa-gu 30 40.0% 11 years Jung-gu 29 34.5% 10 years Yeongdeungpo-gu 24 37.5% 12 years ※ Based on HIRA public data. This is not a comparison of clinic quality. Distribution by Station Area — Distributed Across 8 Lines All 30 clinics in Songpa-gu have station area information. Unlike Mapo-gu (40.6% concentrated in Hongdae) or Busanjin-gu (61.9% concentrated in Seomyeon), Songpa-gu has clinics distributed across Lines 8, 2, 5, 9, and Gyeongui-Jungang Line. Given the low concentration in a single station area, it is efficient to search based on the station nearest to your destination before visiting. Songpa-gu Dermatology Clinic Distribution by Station Area (HIRA Standard) Songpa (Line 8) 4 clinics · 759m Sports Complex (Line 9) 3 clinics · 608m Sports Complex (Line 2) 3 clinics · 1,946m Jamsil (Line 8) 2 clinics · 199m Jamsillaru (Line 2) 2 clinics · 729m Bangi (Line 5) 2 clinics · 476m Seokchon (Line 8) 2 clinics · 892m Munjeong (Line 8) 2 clinics · 272m Geoyeo (Line 5) 2 clinics · 139m Others (Jangji, Gangdong-gu Office, Jamsil Line 2, Seokchon Line 9, Gaerong, Songpanaru) 6 clinics Figures represent the average walking distance (m) from the respective station. The average distance of clinics within the radius of Jamsil Station (Line 8) is 199m, Geoyeo Station (Line 5) is 139m, and Seokchon Station (Line 9) is 69m, indicating clinics located directly in front of the stations. In contrast, clinics based on Sports Complex Station (Line 2) average 1,946m, meaning they are located in Songpa-gu administratively but are quite far from the station. Jamsil Area — Near Lotte Tower and Seokchon Lake The Jamsil area is a large commercial district centered around Lotte World Tower, Lotte World Mall, and Seokchon Lake. Subway Lines 2 and 8 Jamsil Station and Line 8 Seokchon Station are nearby, with clinics confirmed within a 199m radius of Jamsil Station (Line 8) and a 69m radius of Seokchon Station (Line 9), respectively.

Munjeong-Jangji Area — Legal Town and Office Commercial District The area around Munjeong Station (Line 8) is a mixed office and commercial district, home to legal institutions such as the Seoul Eastern District Court and Prosecutor's Office, as well as the Garden Five complex shopping mall. Two clinics are located within a 272m radius of Munjeong Station, and one clinic is also confirmed within the radius of Jangji Station (Line 8).

Reasons to Verify Specialist Status Songpa-gu's specialist retention rate of 40.0% is high even within Seoul. However, the remaining 60.0% (18 clinics) are general practitioner-operated clinics that claim to be dermatology clinics. Since specialist status cannot be determined by the signboard alone, it is reasonable to verify it with HIRA data before visiting.
