  • Oguchi E.N.T. Clinic is a specialized ear, nose, and throat medical facility in Nagano. The clinic has a solid reputation with a 4.1/5 star rating from 71 reviews. Dr. Oguchi receives consistent praise for being kind, knowledgeable, and particularly good with children. Some patients specifically mention trusting him more than their pediatricians. The clinic uses a numbered waiting system that patients find convenient, though you’re expected to arrive when five people are ahead of your turn. The facility operates on Saturdays, making it accessible for those who work weekdays. While the doctor receives excellent feedback, some patients note that one of the receptionists (described as older with short black hair) can be stern and unwelcoming. The clinic handles various ENT conditions including chronic nasal issues and throat problems. For singers and voice professionals, Dr. Oguchi shows particular understanding of vocal health concerns.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients consistently praise Dr. Oguchi for his kindness and medical expertise. The clinic earns particular recognition for pediatric care, with some parents preferring it over dedicated pediatricians. The waiting system is efficient, though patients are expected to arrive when five people remain ahead. While the doctor receives excellent feedback, one receptionist with short black hair is repeatedly mentioned for being unfriendly and harsh with patients. Saturday availability is highlighted as a significant convenience.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has some capacity to accommodate non-Japanese speakers. One review explicitly mentions that staff were "really nice and helpful even though I just know a few words in Japanese," indicating they were able to navigate the language barrier. However, no reviews specifically mention English-speaking staff or translated materials. Non-Japanese speakers should be prepared for potential communication challenges despite this positive experience.
