Following up....
Hello there,
Dr. Suwa's phone number is 03-3444-7070
and the address is
#103Nikko Royal Palace
5-16-4 Hirroo
Shibuya-ku 150-0012
I actually went to see her for my son's first month check up.
Yes she seems to be very competent, spoke English very well but I have to say she was a bit "cold" and the place depressed the hell out of me. It was not really child friendly (I could not dispose the nappies in their bins?!).
I now go to Dr. Nicola Oduro-Yoboah at the Tokyo Medical (yes I know... ). She is not a pediatrician but has experience with small children. I hesitated to go to her, but she has been recommended to me by friends. I have seen her twice and she seemed very competent and comfortable with children. I also find her really easy to talk to and she promptly replies to my emails. A long with the competency I think it is very important to feel comfortable and build a good relationship with your child's care giver. Regarding the fees Dr. Suwa does not seem cheaper but I think she takes Japanese National Insurance, whereas Tokyo Medical doesn't.
Hope this can help,
Bettina

I took my son to get treated for a fever and cough. Dr. and Suwas was aloof accused my wife fr not bring my son in earlier. She also was very short with her answers, and when my wife asked asked what kind of medicine she was prescribing, my wife overheard the just speaking in Japanese to the secretary, to have just have the pharmacist explain what kind of medication my son was getting.
She also hang up on me on the phone when I called to ask questions.
Very rude doctor. Would NEVER recommend !!
