  • This ENT clinic in Setagaya is run by Dr. Hoshino, who has earned a reputation for thorough examinations and a conservative approach to medication. Located in a residential area of western Tokyo, the clinic handles ear, nose, and throat conditions with a focus on careful diagnosis. The doctor speaks conversational English, which is unusual for a local ENT. While their 3.8/5 rating from 33 reviews suggests mixed experiences, patients particularly appreciate the detailed examinations and clear explanations. They’ve recently switched to an online reservation system, which some find convenient while others prefer the old phone booking method. The clinic takes a measured approach to prescriptions, preferring to fully understand conditions before recommending treatment.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback highlights Dr. Hoshino’s detailed examination techniques, particularly noting the thorough nasal examinations. Some praise the conservative approach to medication, while others find it frustrating. The doctor’s friendly demeanor is consistently mentioned, though a few reviews note concerns about rushed appointments. The online reservation system has received mixed reactions, with some patients finding it inconvenient compared to phone booking.

    English Language Proficiency

    Dr. Hoshino provides conversational English support during consultations, though this isn't actively advertised. While basic communication in English is possible, complex medical discussions may require some patience or translation assistance. The online booking system is currently only available in Japanese. It's recommended to bring a Japanese speaker for the first visit to help with registration paperwork.
