Tokyo Business Clinic YAESU North

Been here twin for minor skin and scalp issues. Very friendly nurses and doctor. Foreigner friendly as well.

Had an actue sore (which evoluted to strep) thoat in my first day in Tokyo which demanded two visits to this clinic. Polite and effective attendance by two doctors with enough English skills for general medical practice....no negative points but just a suggestion for foreign travelers like me to reinforce your symptons and ask several times for instructions from the doctor as they can be somewhat "lost in translation" sometimes.....right next to the clinic there is a very good pharmacy...

I saw the negative reviews for this business but it's being the only doctors open late on Saturday it was really my only option. I had so many problems here that it took multiple days to fix. I first came in for severe stomach pain and ask for a doctor's recommendation for a specailist because they told me they couldn't treat me. I was denied and he said try this medication first and then come back and I will give you a recommendation. So I had to go back a second time even knowing the medication would not work as I had tried it before. The second time I came I had a very nice woman doctor and had no problems with her. But the staff caused me so many troubles. they took my insurance card and approved it. I even double checked with them to make sure it was ok. had a normal visit paid and left. at the nearby pharmacy they pointed out that my insurence card was two days expired. They called the staff from the doctors who very rudely and forcefully insisted I come back to their office where they tried to charge me several hundred dollars more. I explained to them that I did not have a credit card so I would not be able to pay at this moment and offered several options for them to solve the issue which had worked for a friend in the past. It took an extra hour and I was late for work because they would not let me leave. I came back with my insurance card a different day and again had to wait 30 minutes while the secretaries updated the system. After the 30 minutes they said thank you and here is your refund. I asked are you sure I get a refund? and they insisted it was okay and told me to have a nice day. about 30 minutes later while on the train, I get a call telling me that I have to come back and give them back the refund money. The medication I received here both times was ineffective. The first male doctor was rude and inappropriate, And I had much of my time and money wasted by the staff. The only plus side is they speak some English. I will not be returning here.

Unfortunately I read the reviews ahead of time, so when the doctor struggled it made the mistakes clearer. I went in for cold symptoms and ear discomfort. I went over the symptoms with the doctor and he checked for fever (none) and listened to my chest with a stethoscope before pronouncing it an upper respiratory tract infection. I had to convince him to check my ear (the main source of discomfort). He struggled with the otoscope used for looking inside the ear and eventually gave up and just held the tip against the tool with his fingers. He then said there were no signs of inflammation and he would prescribe antibiotics. Imagine my surprise at the pharmacist when I find the prescription is for Tylenol and anti allergy meds instead. Probably the right call if it is actually a viral upper respiratory infection, but worrying that he didn't prescribe what he said he would. I have no confidence in his diagnosis which makes the whole trip meaningless as the meds given are only meant to alleviate the symptoms and not fix the problem. I will not be going back.

This clinic saved me big time, I didn’t know what I had all I knew I had a really sore throat and it hurt to talk. Walked in got greeted by a nice lady in English and she told me to fill out 1 sheet of paper. Got called in after 15 minutes, explained my symptoms to the doctor and she said I’ll start feeling well by the end of the day. Later that day I felt great, the perception she gave me worked and all took 30 minutes. This is my go to clinic from now on, convenient as well.
