I remember the first time I needed to book a gynecology appointment—I stared at the booking page for 20 minutes, frozen. Not because I was scared of the procedure, but because I was terrified of feeling awkward, uncomfortable, or worse—dismissed.
I knew right away that if I was going to be vulnerable and talk about my health, I wanted to speak with a female gynecologist. Someone who understood, not just medically, but emotionally.
Why Having a Female OB/GYN Mattered to Me
It wasn’t about bias—it was about comfort. I wanted to be able to talk openly about hormonal changes, intimacy, menstrual issues, and all the “less cute” parts of womanhood without feeling self-conscious.
That’s when I started specifically searching for women-led gynecology clinics in Korea, and that’s how I found Second Spring Women’s Clinic and the incredible Dr. Seon-Hwa Jeong.

My Experience at Second Spring Women’s Clinic
Walking into the clinic was like a breath of fresh air. Everything—from the soft lighting to the women-focused educational material—made it feel different from any clinic I’d been to before.
And then there was Dr. Jeong herself. She’s not just a gynecologist—she’s a warm, thoughtful listener who makes you feel seen and safe. I didn’t have to awkwardly explain things or feel rushed. She guided the conversation, asked intuitive questions, and explained everything she was doing.
And yes, I cried a little from relief after the consultation. It was that comforting.
How to Request a Female Gynecologist in Korea (It’s Easier Than You Think)
Many clinics offer male or female OB/GYNs, but in some places, it’s not immediately clear how to request your preference. At Second Spring, it’s super simple:
Visit their site: www.secondspringwomen.com
Click the “Appointment” or “Consultation” tab
Choose Dr. Seon-Hwa Jeong specifically during the booking
Or, if you’re unsure, just call or email them directly—they’re very responsive and kind
Bonus: The entire staff is female too, which made the entire experience feel even more supportive.
TL;DR:
- Yes, female gynecologists are absolutely available in Korea, and you can request one directly.
- If you value comfort, understanding, and patient-centered care, I highly recommend Dr. Seon-Hwa Jeong at Second Spring Women’s Clinic.
- Booking with her is easy, and the clinic’s entire vibe is designed to help women feel empowered and supported.
