  • Yamada Clinic is a family-run medical facility in Nagoya with a 4.2/5 star rating from 34 patient reviews. The clinic operates on the 2nd floor of a building alongside other medical practices. What distinguishes this clinic is its family operation – both husband and wife are physicians, and their son is also a doctor who works there. The clinic handles general medical needs including vaccinations, which notably don’t require appointments – patients can walk in anytime for this service. The wife doctor doubles as a receptionist at times, highlighting the small, personal nature of the practice. Patients specifically praise the attentiveness and clear communication from the female doctor. The clinic successfully treated international visitors for influenza, indicating capability with common illnesses affecting travelers. The facility itself is clean, and the location is convenient. A distinctive aspect of the patient experience is how doctors personally call patients by name from the waiting area, creating what patients describe as a “heartwarming” atmosphere unusual in larger medical settings.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients consistently highlight the clinic’s clean facilities, convenient location, and the kindness of the doctors. The personal touch is frequently mentioned – doctors call patients by name, creating a warm atmosphere. The female doctor receives specific praise for her attentiveness and clear communication style. The clinic successfully treated international visitors for influenza, and patients appreciate the no-appointment-needed policy for vaccinations, though some found this unusual compared to other facilities.

    English Language Proficiency

    One review mentions a patient receiving treatment during a trip to Japan after contracting influenza in Osaka, suggesting some capacity to treat foreign visitors. However, the reviews don't explicitly confirm English-speaking capabilities at the clinic. The review mentioning the international patient is incomplete, so it's unclear if language support was provided. English capability at Yamada Clinic remains unconfirmed based on available reviews.
