Memory Clinic Ochanomizu
About
Located in Yushima, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, Memory Clinic Ochanomizu is a neurology clinic specializing in the early detection and treatment of dementia. The clinic's memory disorder outpatient service follows a three-step diagnostic system: it begins with a physician's interview and psychological testing by a clinical psychologist, followed as needed by blood tests, EEG, MRI, and SPECT imaging, to comprehensively determine the presence of MCI or dementia and establish a treatment plan. A distinguishing feature is its collaboration with the day care unit within the same building, providing comprehensive dementia care that extends beyond outpatient treatment. The clinic addresses the differential diagnosis of various types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, with particular emphasis on distinguishing treatable conditions. It also participates in clinical trials of new medications, demonstrating a commitment to exploring the latest treatment options. Additionally, a specialty outpatient clinic for age-related nutritional disorders and swallowing difficulties is open every Wednesday afternoon, meeting diverse clinical needs related to neurology. Consulting hours are 9:00–12:00 in the morning and 14:00–17:00 in the afternoon, with the clinic closed on Sundays and public holidays.
