Greeting
We established our clinic in 2013. We appreciate all who have made the decision to visit here — we are very glad to support each and every one of you.
Our clinic is open to the international community in Tokyo. About 40% of our patients are foreign residents in Japan, and we receive emails from abroad from patients who have previously received care here. The language barrier is an issue we cannot ignore — I personally experienced an unpleasant visit to a doctor overseas where nothing was explained after the procedure. We make sure that never happens in our clinic.
Patients phone us from abroad to book appointments; some have come in mid-vacation when a hemorrhoid condition suddenly worsened. One visitor could no longer drive from the pain — I offered minimally invasive injection therapy, and after the procedure he enjoyed the rest of his trip and flew home with his wife with no medical problems. They came back later for follow-up.
Thank you — Yukihiro Sato, M.D.
