nakamura urology clinic
Nakamura Urology Clinic sits on the second floor of the Nippon Seiko Building in Shinjuku’s Iidabashi area — easy to reach and not the kind of place you’d stumble into by accident. Despite the “urology” in the name, this clinic operates as a dermatology practice, so don’t let that throw you off when you’re searching.
Staff have conversational English, which means you can get through a standard appointment without pulling out Google Translate every five minutes. Don’t expect fluent medical English, but basic explanations of diagnoses and treatment plans should land clearly enough. Some English resources are available, which helps when you’re trying to understand aftercare instructions on your own later.
Iidabashi is well-connected — JR Sobu Line, Tokyo Metro Tozai, Yurakucho, and Namboku lines all stop there — so getting here from most parts of Tokyo is straightforward. For expats dealing with skin issues and nervous about the language barrier, this is a workable option in a convenient part of the city.
Patient Feedback
Patients generally find the clinic manageable and no-frills. The Iidabashi location is convenient, and appointments don’t tend to drag on. The doctor is described as straightforward — you get a clear read on what’s going on and what the plan is, without a lot of hand-holding. Wait times appear reasonable for a Tokyo clinic. Nothing flashy, but it does the job without making you feel lost.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
