Dr. Yoboah, Dr. Suwa review

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

Dr. Suwa, pediatrician, Hiroo

Hi Christina,
Have you tried Dr. Michiko Suwa in Hiroo? I just went to her for
the first time for my daughter and I thought she was very prompt,
professional, and reasonably priced. She is on the American board of
pediatrics, so I am sure she studied or spent time in the US and her
English is great. I don't have her phone number off hand, but she is
located right on the shopping street in Hiroo a few doors down from
Subway. I am sure you could do a google search for her info. She
also takes appointments as well.
Good luck and I hope you find a doctor that you like!
