  • Doctors consult drug dictionaries
  • Shrine Mae Dermatology is a dermatology clinic in Tokyo providing skin-related medical care. The clinic is characterized by exceptionally kind and patient staff, including the doctor and receptionist, who create a welcoming atmosphere. Based on patient reviews, the doctor is sweet and personable, though some patients express concerns about the depth of dermatological expertise, with multiple reviews mentioning cases where patients were referred elsewhere for conditions that could have been treated on-site. The clinic successfully treats common skin conditions like shingles with positive outcomes. The doctor is noted for consulting drug dictionaries during appointments, which some patients appreciate as a sign of thoroughness rather than lack of knowledge. The facility accommodates non-Japanese speakers to some extent, with staff who have guided foreign patients to nearby pharmacies. For those seeking dermatological care in Tokyo with a gentle, patient-centered approach, Shrine Mae offers a comfortable environment, though patients with complex skin conditions might want to consider the mixed feedback regarding clinical expertise.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients consistently praise the doctor and staff for their kindness and patience. Several successful treatments are reported, particularly for shingles. However, multiple reviews express concerns about clinical knowledge, with some patients reporting they were referred elsewhere for conditions they felt should have been handled at Shrine Mae. The doctor’s practice of consulting drug references during appointments receives mixed reactions – some see it as thorough while others interpret it as a knowledge gap.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic offers some accommodation for non-Japanese speakers. One review specifically mentions that "the doctor and staff were extremely kind and patient, even though we couldn't really speak Japanese," and notes that staff guided them to a nearby pharmacy. This suggests some level of English support or willingness to assist foreign patients, though comprehensive English-language consultation capabilities are not explicitly confirmed in the reviews.
