Shimamura Family Clinic

Shimamura Family Clinic is a family medical practice in Tokyo’s Nerima area. The clinic operates as a general practice facility that handles routine medical care and common illnesses. Patients consistently highlight the doctor’s thorough approach to care, with staff dedicating sufficient time to each consultation regardless of how busy the clinic becomes. The doctor speaks some English, making this a viable option for non-Japanese speakers in Nerima. The clinic experiences high patient volume, resulting in wait times that frequently exceed an hour despite the appointment system. The booking process works through phone reservations, with afternoon slots beginning around 3:00 PM. While the clinic earns praise for its friendly and professional atmosphere, some patients have reported mixed results with prescribed medications. With a 4.1/5 rating from 51 reviews, Shimamura Family Clinic balances the benefits of personalized care against the reality of crowded waiting rooms where all patients share the same space—a consideration during cold and flu season.
