The facility has one male doctor and two female receptionists, with the doctor noted for his accurate diagnoses and efficient record-keeping. The clinic only accepts cash payments, but staff direct patients to nearby ATMs when needed.

    Patient Feedback

    Reviews consistently highlight the doctor’s thoroughness and willingness to explain diagnoses clearly. Patients appreciate the careful examinations and accurate judgments. Several reviewers mention the doctor’s efficiency, with quick yet comprehensive consultations that address concerns effectively. The clinic staff receives mixed feedback – while one receptionist is noted as particularly kind, others receive less positive comments. The cash-only payment policy is mentioned as a limitation, though staff helpfully direct patients to nearby ATMs.

    English Language Proficiency

    One review explicitly states that the doctor takes time to explain problems and treatments "even when your Japanese is lacking fluency," suggesting some accommodation for non-native Japanese speakers. However, no reviews specifically mention English-language services or fluent English-speaking staff. The extent of English support at the clinic remains unclear from the available reviews. Patients with limited Japanese ability should note that while some communication assistance might be available, comprehensive English service is not confirmed.
