    One of the few clinics that isn't about making money. I get the impression that they take the time to look at each patient individually, rather than doing assembly line work, so I gave them 5 stars with high expectations. I'm just grateful. He is a wonderful doctor and I would like to call him "Mr. Doctor."

    After issues with other doctors from an ear infection, I visited Dr Yanagisawa, after a recommendation by a friend. He was kind enough to draw up the ear canal and explain the issue, as well as inform me that I was being prescribed the wrong medicine from my other doctor. He is great about taking the time to explain things to you and answer any questions you may have. I continued to visit the Yanagisawa Clinic while living in Tokyo, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor. I visited him for various reasons, including a Covid test. His office is always very clean, and the staff was very cautious and conscientious in dealing with potentially infected covid patients. He is fluent in Japanese and English, a family man and a Harvard graduate. He also uses and regularly checks his email, which made him very accessible to speak with. I highly recommend the Yanagisawa Clinic for all ages.

    (Translated by Google) After confirming in advance by phone that there was no problem with business hours and medical treatment, I visited and found that there was a receptionist but no doctor. I was instructed to visit again in about 2 hours, so I was told that I couldn't get medical treatment today. I was quite confused because the receptionist did not seem to have contacted me in advance. The waiting time was wasted, and although it was my first visit, I don't think I'll be here for the rest of my life. I can't trust you. (Original) 事前に電話で営業時間、診療内容が問題ない旨を確認し、訪問したところ、なんと、受付の方はいるのに医師がいないとのこと。約2時間後に改めて訪問するよう案内があったのでその通りすると今日は診療できない旨告げられました。 受付対応されるかたも事前連絡があった様子もなくかなり戸惑われてました。 待ち時間も無駄でしたし、初診でしたがもう一生ここに行く事はなさそうです。 信用なりません。

    I’m writing this from the standpoint of an American doctor. I had a patient traveling in Tokyo who needed emergency medical care for an allergic reaction. Dr. Yanagisawa was able to immediately see my patient and administer treatment. He speaks fluent English, and his clinic is very professionally staffed. My patient got the treatment she needed and was able to enjoy the rest of her trip. I highly recommend Dr. Yanagisawa for any international travelers in need of expert care!

    (Translated by Google) Mr. Agee has been criticized, but I think it coincided with the day when the teacher died. I was a kind teacher who took care of me since I was a child, so I thought that some people might be misunderstood, so I wrote it down. It is a very good hospital with the teacher's relatives continuing. (Original) Ageeさんという方が酷評されておりますが、恐らく先生が亡くなられた日と重なったのだと思います。幼少期からお世話になった優しい先生でしたので…勘違いされる方が居ると思い訂正させて頂きたく書き込みしました。先生の親族の方が続けていてとても良い病院です。

    (Translated by Google) <Addition> It was announced on the signboard at the entrance that the clinic will be closed because the director died on January 3, 2019 due to heart failure. .. .. .. I am very sorry that he was a good teacher. I pray for your soul. The director will see you for you. The sense of security is very high because you can listen to the story very kindly. Since the consultation time per patient tends to be extended, you may have to wait. (Original) <追記> 2019年1月3日に院長先生が心不全のため他界されたため、医院は閉鎖される旨、エントランスの看板に告知されていました。。。。良い先生だったのに非常に残念です。ご冥福をお祈りします。 院長先生自ら診察してくれます。かなり親身に話を聞いてもらえるので安心感は非常に高いです。ただ一人の患者さんあたりの診察時間が延びがちなので、待たされることもあります。

    English speaking doctor. Very knowledgeable about most issue and is eager to help. If I ever needed to go to a doctor again for an urgent issue I would hesitate to go here.

    In and out for a flu shot in literally 7 minutes. The doctor and staff are very nice and helpful. I asked a question about differing flu shot placements and the doctor took the time to show me in a textbook what the differences were. I def wasn't expecting that, but greatly appreciate how considerate he was. Great English speaking clinic that is very near to the station. Prices are listed on their website as well. 10/10 will come back for more jabs.

    Life saving clinic which opened during summer holidays. The doctor was so kind and I found it so easy for me to communicate in English with him. 100% recommend the clinic. I never feel this comfortable in any clinic before.

    12/27時点で2021年内の診療は終わっていました。 診療時間も今時短中なのですが、休診日も診療時間もできたら1階にかいていただけたら、3階まで上がらず済むのにと思います。 内科のクリニックです。 1階にAEDが設置してあります。 薬は院内処方で出して下さいます。

    I wake up to find myself unable to move...I feel my forehead to find I'm burning up from a fever. I take my temperature, 40 degrees centigrade...not fun... I get my wife to drive me over to Dr. Yanagisawa's Clinic (Coin parking right behind the clinic) which is conveniently open on Saturday afternoons! I didn't even have to make a reservation, just walked right in and got serviced. Dr. Yanagisawa treated me with care and really listened to my situation. He was able to ask me the right questions without me having to think about what I should mention, it's hard to think with a fever that high...he was able to quickly determine that I should be tested for the flu, which he fit with a quick and painless procedure, he was able to give me the test results right then and there! It was great because I didn't have to go home worrying about having the flu...especially with a 3yr old at home. I told him that I was taking Tylenol (it was nice not having to look up the Japanese equivalent medicine or have my wife come in and translate for me), Dr. Yanagisawa spent many years in the states, and is very personable and easy to talk with. It is really nice to not have to stress out about saying the right things in Japanese, especially when you are very ill, he is able to eliminate that stress almost immediately with his warm welcoming smile and kind words. After it was determined that I didn't have the flu, Dr. Yanagisawa instructed me on how to make it through the high fever, prescribed me medicines (which I received right on the spot, I did not have to go to a pharmacy or another place for medication) and was on my way! After a day and a half of doing what I was instructed to do, I was back healthy and ready for work on Monday! Thank you so very much Dr. Yanagisawa, I highly recommend him!

    (Translated by Google) My family got sick with Corona and looked for a doctor's office based on word of mouth. My family was highly praised, so I was infected after that, but I was diagnosed with it, but it was a gentle and wonderful teacher. At other hospitals, the fever outpatient clinic was fully booked and I couldn't get it, but when I called, they responded well and were very helpful. The teacher is soft-spoken and easy to talk to, and examines patients closely. He is a humane and a safe teacher. You can trust him because he is passionate about medicine and has a lot of experience. Also, since it is an in-hospital prescription, it is helpful when you are sick. Thank you very much. (Original) 家族がコロナに罹ってクチコミを頼りに医院を探しました。 家族が大絶賛だったので、その後感染した私も診てもらいましたが、その通りの優しく素晴らしい先生でした。 他院では発熱外来が予約で埋まって取れなかったが、電話をしたら快く良く対応してもらえて、とても助かりました。 先生は物腰柔らかく話しやすくて患者に寄り添う診察をしてくださいます。人間味ある方で安心できる先生です。 医療に対して熱心で経験豊かな先生なので、とても信頼できます。 また、院内処方なのでしんどい時には助かります。 ありがとうございました。

    Probably one of the best English-speaking doctor in Tokyo. Kind, sincere, knowledgeable, well-decorated clinic. Dr Yanagisawa helped me ensure my medicine supply while I am not in Japan. So grateful. Very good clinic. The atmosphere is also good. Kind teachers and courteous staff. In-hospital prescriptions are also available, so there is no need to go to a pharmacy. Recommended.

    The doctor was so friendly! Very kind and spoke English fluently- the whole clinic was warm and welcoming. Paid ~5000 yen for meds and the visit

    (Translated by Google) The teacher speaks English and is kind and is the number one clinic for us in international marriage. It was really helpful to be polite even though it was in Tokyo, and to be so kind and supportive. Thank you very much. (Original) 先生は英語が話せて親切で、国際結婚の私たちにとって1番のクリニックです。都内なのに丁寧で、こんなに親身になって対応してくれるなんて本当助かりました。ありがとうございました。

    (Translated by Google) I went to the hospital because I had a high fever. When I told the receptionist that I had cold symptoms, they let me wait in a separate room instead of the shared waiting room. Waiting time was about 10 minutes. The doctor was also very kind and helpful. The corona test was painful, but it's the same everywhere, and the teacher apologized and responded, which made me feel warm. The medicine is also prescribed in the hospital, so it is very convenient because there is no need to go to other places. (Original) 高熱が出たため来院しました。 受付で風邪症状があると伝えると、共同の待合室ではなく、別室に通されて待機させてくれました。 待ち時間は10分くらいでした。 先生もとても優しく、寄り添って診察してくれました。 コロナの検査は痛かったですが、これはどこも同じだし、先生も謝りながら対応してくれてほっこりしました。 薬も院内で処方してくれるので、他のところに行く必要もなくてとても楽です。

    (Translated by Google) He was a very friendly and cheerful young man teacher. Online medical care is also active. The website was old and a little worrisome, but the hospital was a small and clean place. There is no reservation system. It seems that you are busy with a remote industrial physician in the morning, so be careful when you are in the afternoon. (Original) とても愛想が良い朗らかな若い男の先生でした。オンライン診療も積極的です。ウェブサイトが古い感じで少し不安でしたが、病院はこじんまりとして綺麗な場所でした。 予約制はありません。午前中はリモート産業医などでお忙しいようで、診療時間が午後のみなのは要注意です。

    One of the friendliest, caring and empathetic GPs I‘ve been a patient of, I cannot recommend this clinic enough. As most reviews have mentioned, fluent in English which is a major plus for everyone that’s new to Japan. Navigating Japan as an expat can be complex, navigating the medical system even more so and Dr. Yanagisawa has been nothing but helpful and understanding and he always took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure that I was well. Needless to say his team is just as friendly and professional. Highly recommended for any expat and beyond.
