SUGIYAMA SHIKA
Sugiyama Shika is a small dental clinic on the third floor of Hiramoto Building in Nishi-Gotanda, Shinagawa. It’s a neighborhood practice — not a big international clinic — so don’t show up expecting a bilingual receptionist waiting with English paperwork. That said, the clinic does have some English content on its website, which suggests they’ve at least thought about non-Japanese patients. Whether that translates to smooth chair-side communication is a different question.
For straightforward dental work — cleanings, fillings, checkups — this kind of local clinic is often perfectly fine with a translation app and a bit of patience. Shinagawa is well-connected, and Nishi-Gotanda itself is a quiet, accessible pocket of the ward. If your Japanese is zero and your dental situation is complicated, consider calling ahead or sending an email via the site to test the waters before you book.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback specific to this clinic is limited in English-language sources. Based on its setup as a small local practice, expect a quieter, less rushed environment than chain dental clinics. Appointment-based scheduling likely means shorter waits. The dentist appears to run a hands-on, one-doctor operation — which can mean more consistent care but less flexibility in scheduling. Bring your insurance card and arrive a few minutes early for paperwork.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
