Ueno Orthopedics Clinic
About
Ueno Orthopedic Clinic is an orthopedic surgery specialty practice located on the first floor of Takao Medical Building, directly in front of the south exit bus rotary at JR and Keio Line's Takao Station, in Hatsusawa-cho, Hachioji City, Tokyo. Director Dr. Takeshi Ueno practices as a trusted community physician, providing care rooted in the local area. Beyond orthopedics, he also offers consultations for patients unsure of which department to visit and provides appropriate referrals. The clinic places great emphasis on thorough interviews and examinations, actively utilizing MRI and blood tests to ensure accurate diagnoses without oversights. Treatment policies respect patient preferences — for those uncomfortable with injections, alternative options are proposed, and flexible approaches such as switching from Western to herbal (Kampo) medicine reflect the clinic's patient-centered philosophy. After symptoms improve, the clinic continues to offer self-care guidance, including muscle training and stretching, accompanied by illustrated handouts. To reduce wait times, the clinic has introduced a queue management system (Airist), allowing patients to check the current waitlist from their smartphones even outside the clinic. The facility is fully barrier-free, creating an accessible environment for a wide range of patients.
