Koishikawa International Clinic

"My experience with Dr. Kawai & his staff was wonderful. Everyone spoke excellent English and were very professional and friendly. I travelled from Shiga prefecture to have my birth control arm implant (nexoplanon) removed. It was the only place in Japan that I could find, where a doctor would actually remove it. It isn’t covered by Japanese medical insurance & since the medication was from overseas, I got turned away over 2 dozen times from places all around Osaka, Kyoto, Shiga & Tokyo. This clinic took good care of me even though this type of procedure isn’t their speciality or anything. I am not sure if they routinely perform this sort of removal or not so please contact them directly. I highly recommend this clinic."

"Amazing staff and the Doctor was so personable, kind, empathetic and the staff was the same. So incredibly fair pricing wish the states would adopt the mentality that this clinic has if patient care first. I was in and out in no time. Dr knew exactly what to do and prescribe I feel so much better now! Again if you are from the states you will be floored at the price of services and exceptional care."

"I went here for a procedure nowhere else in Japan could offer me. Everyone was so kind and personable, especially the nurse- I felt really comfortable there which helped me to relax during the procedure. The doctor was amazing at his job- I had very minimal bruising and he was so quick to both do the procedure and remove the stitches, I was very impressed. I am grateful to all the staff and will definitely return if I need any other health care. Thank you Koishikawa International Clinic. :-)"

"Excellent excellent clinic, both doctor and staff. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure the comfort and ease of a foreigner trying to navigate the medical system in a new country in the middle of a health emergency. I was treated gently and consistently well despite being a somewhat tricky case, over more than a month and across cities in Japan - the doctor kindly agreed to a phone consultation as well when I was travelling in the middle. All my questions were answered very patiently and my concerns were taken into account. I recommend calling to set up an appointment before showing up - and don't worry, because most times English-speaking staff are available over the phone as well. National health insurance is accepted. Thank you to the doctor and staff for all your help!"

"I came here to have my Nexplanon implant removed. The doctor and nurses spoke English, they were very friendly. Other clinics I found didn’t take insurance for this procedure so I was very glad to find this clinic. Wonderful experience."
