Okudaira ENT Clinic
About
Located in Nogata, Nakano Ward, Tokyo, Okuhara ENT Clinic is an ear, nose, and throat specialty medical facility founded in 1997 by the current director, following the relocation in 1989 of the previous physician who had over 30 years of clinical experience in Kita-Shinjuku. The clinic's treatment philosophy emphasizes accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment for each patient, and clear, kind explanations. Since opening in 1997, it was among the earliest in Nakano Ward to introduce argon plasma therapy, laser treatment, and coblation surgery for hay fever and allergic rhinitis, actively implementing these procedures. Since 2010, it has operated a smoking cessation clinic, focusing on early detection and intervention for COPD, the fourth leading cause of death in Japan, to improve quality of life and provide preventive care. Clinic hours are 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with closures on Thursdays, Sundays, and holidays. Returning patients can make same-day online reservations. For infection control, the clinic has designated time slots for infectious disease patients with separate rooms and hours for those experiencing symptoms such as fever, fatigue, or taste and smell disorders. The clinic also prioritizes hygiene measures, including the installation of two ozone air purifiers. Services include English-language consultations, credit card and electronic payments, and barrier-free accessibility. The clinic is designated as a "Medical Treatment and Examination Medical Institution" by Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
