    • Saito Ear is an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) clinic located in Hyogo Prefecture. The clinic specializes in treating conditions related to the ear, nose, and throat, including postnasal drip and pharyngeal issues. Dr. Saito provides thorough examinations and clear explanations of medical conditions, making complex diagnoses more accessible to patients. The clinic offers online appointment booking, which is increasingly rare among ENT facilities in the area. Wait times are shorter compared to other ENT clinics in Hyogo, though you may still experience some wait during busy periods. The doctor is known for being cheerful, approachable, and efficient, taking time to conduct thorough examinations despite the clinic’s popularity. One notable concern involves the reception staff, with some patients reporting negative experiences with a middle-aged female receptionist. The clinic maintains a strong local reputation, with many patients visiting based on recommendations from acquaintances.
