(As
of
this
review,
it
will
be
a
few
days
between
second
and
upcoming
third
visit)
I
am
a
long
term
foreign
resident
living
in
Tokyo.
I
was
looking
for
an
English
speaking
dentist
who
would
be
able
to
take
me
in
on
short
notice,
but
among
the
popular
English
speaking
offices
I
found,
none
were
able
to
take
in
me
until
I
found
Dr.
Minami's
office!
Despite
being
a
brand
new
and
recently
opened
dental
office,
the
experience
has
overall
been
very
pleasant
so
I
would
like
to
write
a
detailed
review
about
my
visit
hoping
to
help
recommend
her
office
to
any
other
foreign
residents/visitors
struggling
to
search
for
a
(particularly
English
speaking)
dentist
to
go
to!
Reservations
are
available
through
phone
or
24/7
online
through
the
provided
links
on
Dr.
Minami's
website
or
google
(English
partially
available
so
some
translation
may
be
needed
if
your
Japanese
knowledge
is
limited)!
I
booked
online
and
a
confirmation
email
was
sent
right
after
booking
and
a
reminder
email
came
sometime
before
the
appointment
itself(emails
are
sent
in
full
Japanese
along
with
a
Google
maps
link
to
the
office).
Starting
with
the
location,
it
is
very
easy
to
find
as
it
is
right
across
the
street
from
a
Kojimachi
station
exit!
And
moving
onto
the
office
itself,
accurate
to
the
available
photos,
there
is
a
small
waiting
room
in
front
of
the
reception
desk
with
the
patient
rooms
visible
from
the
waiting
room.
Her
office
is
newly
opened
in
May
2023
and
compared
to
the
other
offices
I
found
in
my
search,
her
office
equipment
and
technology
are
very
new
and
modern.
Overall
it
has
a
very
cozy
and
welcoming
atmosphere
with
sleek
and
beautiful
style!
Regarding
the
staff,
as
of
this
review
(November
2023)
they
are
currently
all
women,
so
coming
here
may
be
a
plus
if
you
are
uncomfortable
with
men.
Dr.
Minami
speaks
English
very
fluently
and
communicating
with
her
is
very
easy
to
understand!
The
other
staff
speak
minimal
English,
but
like
me,
if
you
are
able
to
communicate
in
Japanese,
anyone
can
converse
with
you
and
answer
any
questions
you
may
have!
Treatment
costs
vary,
but
are
covered
by
health
insurance
unless
stated
otherwise
as
needs
are
different
per
person.
During
my
first
visit,
I
was
given
a
questionnaire
(English
available)
regarding
my
current
health
and
financial
situation.
Dr.
Minami
is
very
thorough
with
her
examinations
and
very
kind
and
helpful
enough
to
answer
my
questions/concerns
and
explain
step
by
step
what
treatment
path
was
best
for
me
while
considering
the
pros/cons
along
with
financial
costs!
Fortunately
my
situation
doesn't
seem
too
bad
and
the
costs
are
very
affordable
with
insurance.
(For
reference,
in
my
case,
my
first
visit
with
an
x-ray,
examination,
cleaning,
and
after
care
medicine
were
about
a
total
of
about
4000yen!
And
second
visit
with
cleaning
came
about
to
1600yen)
Along
with
her
wonderful
staff,
excellent
communication,
and
modern
office
equipment,
Dr.
Minami
has
a
very
extensive
resume
that
was
also
a
contributing
factor
that
helped
with
my
decision
to
choose
her
office.
From
studying
abroad
in
the
United
States
to
working
with
the
Olympics,
I
was
very
confident
she
would
be
able
to
help
me
with
my
dental
issues.
I
cannot
express
enough
how
friendly
and
professional
Dr.
Minami
and
her
staff
are.
Although
my
sessions
have
been
few,
all
of
my
visits
and
treatments
so
far
have
been
a
very
comfortable
and
stress
free
experience!
Highly
recommend
her
office
and
wish
I
could
give
more
than
5
stars!
I
look
forward
to
continuing
working
with
Dr.Minami
and
her
staff
in
the
future!
TLDR;
-English
speaking
+
foreigner
friendly
-staff
is
all
women,
friendly,
and
professional
-insurance
accepted
and
covered
-modern
technology
and
equipment
-convenient
location
-booking
through
phone
or
24/7
online
Thanks
for
taking
the
time
to
read
and
I
hope
this
is
helpful
for
anyone
searching
for
a
local
dentist
in
Tokyo!
