SDH Clinic
SDH Clinic is a dermatology practice on the second floor of the Daisan Otani Building in Shinjuku 3-chome — walkable from Shinjuku Station’s east exit and right in the thick of things. They handle the usual skin concerns: acne, eczema, rashes, moles, and cosmetic dermatology. The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully English-language appointment. Reception and consultation may require a translation app or some patience. If your Japanese is zero, bring a written note summarizing your symptoms — it genuinely helps. That said, Shinjuku is a high-traffic international area, and clinics here tend to have more exposure to non-Japanese patients than average. This isn’t a dedicated expat clinic, but it’s not a wall of confusion either. Good option if you need a dermatologist in central Tokyo and don’t want to trek far.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a reasonably efficient clinic — wait times are typical for a busy Shinjuku practice, meaning you may sit a while during peak hours. Doctors are described as professional and focused, though appointments can feel brief. Skin concerns like acne and rashes are handled competently. The clinical vibe is standard Japanese dermatology: efficient, not particularly chatty. Cosmetic treatments also draw patients. Nothing flashy, just solid dermatology work.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
