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. Yeboah review - Tokyo Surgical & Medical
Dylan and Harper both see Dr Yeboah at Tokyo Surgical & Medical. She is
just fabulous. Really listens and is not quick to hand out antibiotics.
She is British and has a fantastic bedside manner with the girls. Harper
has also seen Dr Martin at the same clinic once when Dr Yeboah was not
available and she seemed like a nice doctor as well.
Cheers

Dr. Martin review, pediatrician, Tokyo surgical and medical clinic
Dylan has always gone to Dr Martin at the Tokyo Surgical & Medical
Clinic, opposite Tokyo Tower.
She's not a pediatritian, but a GP (general practitioner), so she
sees us too.
She ticks all the boxes on your wish list.
She is always willing to do all the necessary tests to find out
what's wrong.
She is Japanese, but more than fluent in English, as she practiced in
LA too.
She is really great with Dylan, she has stickers for him, a toy
medical kit in her office & she's very patient.
She is also good with my views about not giving medicine unless it's
really necessary.
The TMSC has a 24 hour on call doctor, which rotates, so sometimes
it's her, but someone is always available to talk to you.
I would thoroughly recommend her for anyone.
