How we build your report

01

Submit your case

Tell us your procedure, goals, history, and any providers you’re already considering. Takes about 5 minutes. You can use a first name or alias — your identity stays confidential.

02

We do the research

Our research team draws from hundreds of Korean and English-language sources most people can’t access. This includes but is not limited to cross-referencing reviews, verifying credentials, screening for red flags, and matching providers to your specific situation.

03

You get the report

Within 72 hours, you receive a structured intelligence report with your matched surgeons, evidence-cited analysis, risk flags, and consultation prep. You make the decision — with the full picture.

What’s in a Surgeon Intelligence Report

Matched surgeon shortlist

3–5 surgeons selected for your specific procedure, history, and goals — not a generic top-5 list.

Deep-source analysis

Every surgeon is researched across hundreds of verified sources: medical journals, Korean and English review platforms, professional registries, credential databases, patient accounts, and clinical references.

Red flag screening

Incentivized review patterns, Korean Consumer Agency complaints, ghost surgery indicators, and reputation manipulation signals — the things English searches can’t find.

Credential verification

Board certifications checked against the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons registry and Korean medical databases.

Side-by-side comparison

Structured tables so you can evaluate surgeons on evidence, not marketing.

Consultation prep

Custom questions for each surgeon based on their published techniques, patient outcomes, and potential risk areas — so you walk into the consultation knowing what to ask.

Looking into non-surgical treatments? Our Cosmetic & Beauty Treatment Report covers Botox, fillers, skin rejuvenation, and more — same research process, same independence.

A research team that works in hours, not weeks

Every report is produced through a proprietary research process powered by AI analysis and human research — mirroring the workflow of a boutique consultancy, compressed into hours rather than weeks.

Parallel research teams are deployed simultaneously across distinct analytical workstreams:

Surgeon credentialing
Korean-language patient review analysis
English-language community intelligence
Medical literature synthesis
Regulatory & legal context mapping

When additional candidates surface during research, a second wave of targeted analysis is triggered automatically — with findings cross-referenced against the existing evidence base.

The result draws on 200+ verified primary sources spanning peer-reviewed medical journals, Korean professional society databases, patient review platforms in both Korean and English, surgical video documentation, regulatory filings, and community forums frequented by medical tourism patients.

The kind of work that would typically require a medical tourism consultant, a Korean-language researcher, and a clinical literature reviewer working in coordination — delivered in 72 hours.

Why this can’t be done with a Google search

The most important information about Korean surgeons is written in Korean, published on gated Korean platforms, and filed in Korean databases. English-speaking patients can’t access it — and translation alone doesn’t solve the problem.

What you can find in English

  • Top-10 listicles from agency blogs
  • Clinic-submitted before/after photos
  • Social media marketing
  • RealSelf profiles (clinics pay for visibility)
  • Reddit threads (valuable but fragmented)

What we access in Korean

  • Top 10 Korean patient review platforms
  • Korean medical board certification records
  • Korean Consumer Agency complaint filings
  • Clinic reputation and review pattern analysis
  • Korean-language patient communities and forums

“Can’t I just use ChatGPT?”

You can. Here’s what you’ll get: a generic list of the same 5 surgeons that every English-language blog already recommends, pulled from marketing sites, with no source verification and no Korean-language data.

What you won’t get: credential checks against Korean medical registries, review analysis across gated Korean platforms that require phone verification to even access, complaint record screening from the Korean Consumer Agency, ghost surgery red flags, or any source citations at all.

The difference isn’t the tool. It’s the sources, the access, and the human research team behind every report.
