limda k-medical clinic (경희림다한의원) is next to Park Hyatt Busan in Marine City, Haeundae, the doctor treats you in English, and you can walk in without an appointment. We are open weekdays 10:00–19:00 and Saturdays 09:00–17:00, about a 10-minute walk from Dongbaek Station on Busan Metro Line 2. Measurements take about 15 minutes and treatment 40 minutes; with the consultation, plan on about an hour and a half for a first visit.
limda k-medical clinic (경희림다한의원) is next to the Park Hyatt Busan, and our doctors and all staff speak English, and a Chinese-speaking doctor is on site — no interpreter booking needed.
Can I really just walk in?
Yes. Come in, tell the front desk what is bothering you, and we see you between booked patients. Booked patients are seen at their reserved time, so a walk-in may wait. Some days that wait is nothing; on a busy Saturday it can be longer. We would rather tell you now than have you find out at the desk.
How to wait less
- Send one line on WhatsApp 30 minutes before you come — "Walking in around 11:30, lower back pain" — and we prepare your place in the order.
- If your day is flexible, ask on WhatsApp which hours look quiet that day. We answer honestly.
- Bring what speeds up a first visit: the medicines you take, any recent test results, and your ARC if you have Korean National Health Insurance.
What happens on a walk-in visit
- Front desk — a short intake form, available in English.
- Measurements, about 15 minutes — body composition (InBody 970), an EEG-based stress reading and pulse diagnosis; a 3D facial scan if you are here for facial acupuncture.
- Consultation — the doctor explains the findings and the plan in English.
- Treatment, about 40 minutes — LIMDA AcuNap in a private room: acupuncture, pharmacopuncture where useful, electro-acupuncture and infrared warmth, with cupping when it fits. Many people fall asleep.
- Before you leave — what to do at home, and a herbal prescription only if it helps. Herbal medicine can be shipped abroad.
What people walk in for
- Neck, shoulder and lower back pain, including after long flights and long days of walking
- Jet lag, poor sleep and travel fatigue
- Facial acupuncture
- Korean herbal medicine to take home
What it costs
With Korean National Health Insurance, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, cupping and physical therapy are insured and you pay the co-payment. Visitors without it take the LIMDA AcuNap course at 200,000 KRW, which includes a body assessment, Korean herbal moxibustion, cupping, red light therapy, ICT therapy, consultation and a LIMDA personalized conditioning report. Pharmacopuncture is an optional add-on at 15,000–50,000 KRW. We confirm the cost before treatment begins, international cards are accepted, and you get an itemized receipt in English.
Languages
The doctor consults in English. One of our doctors, Dr. Yang Sungwon, consults directly in Chinese (Mandarin), with no interpreter booking needed. Japanese interpreting can be arranged with 48 hours' notice.
