Attention to all foreign patients
Before we see you at this clinic, we'd like to inform you of our clinic policy in Japan to foreign patients visiting or staying in this country written as below.
1. For patients who had previous breast cancer or any other treatments, we need
your clinical record and referral letter which are explaining the status of your breast written by a
doctor in your country. ( Your doctor's signature and his/her address are necessary.) Otherwise, we are
very sorry we can not see you. (If you have prepared all the papers above, we are very happy to see
you. And also, we can send letter about your examination result to your doctor if you wish to do so. We
can send the results to your doctor, but not give it to you, such as by letter or e-mail, over the phone
and so on .) When you tell us the past history about your breast disease verbally, it might be helpful
for us to understand your medical status. However written documents by your doctor is more helpful and
precise.
(This is our clinic policy and please understand.)
2. After your examination, we explain the result verbally. However we do not issue
medical certificate unless you eradicate to whom you submit (name and address in English are necessary)
and there will be a charge. We can not give your examination data unless you fill up request form
(written in Japanese) and there will be a charge as well.
(This is our clinic policy and please
understand.)
3. We are not able to see any patient unless he/she stays in Japan more than one
month since first visit to our clinic and could see us other time here within one month.
(This is our
clinic policy and please understand.)
4. We are able to see the patient who speaks either English or Japanese. There is
no staff in this clinic who understands other languages except for English or Japanese. Even though you
have interpretation devices, we are very sorry that we cannot afford to see you.
(This is our clinic
policy and please understand.)
