  • Shida Internal Medicine Gastroenterology Clinic is a specialized medical facility in Chiba focused on digestive health and internal medicine. The clinic operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no appointment system. Patients typically experience wait times of about an hour, though during busy periods, reception may close earlier than scheduled. The clinic stands out for its doctor who is exceptionally compassionate and thorough in explaining medical conditions to patients. Based on reviews, the doctor takes time to discuss issues in detail, making patients feel heard and respected. However, note that the clinic does not perform endoscopies on-site. The facility has received high marks from patients (4.6/5 stars from 49 reviews), primarily for the doctor’s bedside manner. Some patients report traveling significant distances specifically to continue care at this clinic despite the travel time, which speaks to patient satisfaction. Be prepared for potentially long waits, especially during peak hours.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients consistently praise the doctor’s exceptional kindness and consideration. Multiple reviews highlight how the doctor takes time to thoroughly explain medical conditions and treatments. The no-appointment system means waiting times of approximately one hour, with earlier arrival recommended during busy periods. One negative review mentions the doctor becoming angry with a resident, suggesting potential inconsistency in patient interactions. Several patients note they continue visiting despite living far from the clinic.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic offers confirmed English-speaking services. Multiple reviews explicitly state the doctor speaks English fluently, with one patient noting the doctor "speaks English" and another specifically mentioning he "speaks English fluently." This makes the facility particularly accessible for non-Japanese speakers seeking gastroenterology care in Chiba. English-speaking patients express appreciation for this language capability in their reviews.
