Kobayashi dermatology clinic

Kobayashi Dermatology Clinic is a well-established dermatology practice in Sapporo that serves both Japanese and foreign patients. While Dr. Kobayashi has retired, the clinic continues to operate with Dr. Oosawa, who receives positive feedback for her thorough explanations and patient care. The clinic operates on a walk-in basis without appointments, resulting in wait times that can extend to an hour or more, especially on Saturdays. This is a true walk-in clinic where patients are seen in order of arrival. The staff, including the receptionist and nurses, are noted for their kindness and helpfulness. A significant advantage for foreign patients is the availability of English-speaking staff, making communication straightforward for non-Japanese speakers. The clinic handles various dermatological conditions, from acne to more complex skin issues, with patients generally finding the quality of care worth the wait time. Registration is described as straightforward, though calling ahead to check availability is recommended despite the no-appointment policy.
