  • Dual specialty: internal medicine + eyes
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Hiroo Hanezawa Internal Medicine and Eye Clinic sits in the quiet, residential stretch of Hiroo — one of Tokyo’s more expat-dense neighborhoods — which probably explains why they’ve made the effort to be English-accessible. This is a dual-specialty clinic handling both internal medicine and ophthalmology under one roof, which is genuinely convenient if you need routine checkups and eye care without bouncing between providers.

    The English situation is conversational rather than fluent — staff can get through a consultation without making you feel completely lost, and there are some English-language materials available. Don’t expect a fully bilingual experience, but this isn’t a place where you’ll be staring at each other in silence either. It’s a neighborhood clinic, so the vibe is low-key and personal rather than big hospital-impersonal. Good for general health management, chronic condition monitoring, and eye issues. Probably not where you’d go for a complex specialist referral, but for day-to-day healthcare needs in Hiroo, it’s a solid local option.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients tend to describe a calm, unhurried experience — this isn’t a volume-driven clinic rushing you out the door. The dual specialty is a real convenience highlight; handling both general health and eye issues in one place saves time. Wait times are generally reasonable for a Tokyo clinic. The doctor is described as thorough and attentive. Some patients note it’s small and personal, which most find reassuring, though it does mean limited appointment slots.

    English Language Proficiency

    Reception can manage basic English — enough to check you in, confirm your appointment, and get through standard intake questions. The doctor has conversational English capability, so you can describe symptoms without relying entirely on a translation app, though having one handy never hurts for medical specifics. Some materials are available in English. Forms may still be in Japanese, so bring your phone's camera translation just in case. Not fully bilingual, but functional for most expat visits.
