| I would like to see an oriental doctor in either Incheon or Seoul. Does anyone know of a good one who speaks English? |

I haven't heard or seen an Asian being referred to as an oriental in a VERY long time.
I think it's a faux-pas to use that adjective when describing people. It's ok for things. e.g. the oriental restaurant is ok, but not the oriental doctor.
My two cents. |

Oriental Medicine is still a fair term IMO. The guy isn't asking for a an Oriental who happens to be a doctor, he wants someone trained in the east asian medical tradition.
Anyway sry OP, no idea |

This guy is, apparently, Korea's only 'western' Oriental medical doctor.

Thank you so much. That's GREAT information. I had a chuckle over the misunderstanding of "oriental" doctor. |

| Most Oriental Medicine Doctors (han-eui-sa) speak English. I have visited several in my area. Usually I take a Korean friend the first time for the general intake, but afterwards am able to visit on my own. I would recommend this rather than hauling your buns across town. |

| Would you settle for an Oriental-speaking English doctor? |
