Introduction

Patient care at our department

Make an Appointment

The first step to see a doctor is to call 049-228-3605 (Monday-Saturday except holidays) or stop by our outpatient reception. If you cannot keep any appointments or would like to change the date or time, please change or cancel your appointment by phone or in person.

No inpatient treatment options are available.

Patients who require impatient treatment will be admitted by any hospitals with impatient programs.

What to bring with you for your first appointment.

1. Health insurance card
2. A list of your current medications (prescription and over-the-counter drugs, etc.) including the dosage and frequency
3. Referral letter
4. Medical questionnaire

If you have a list of your current medications, please bring it for your first appointment. We may provide an examination if you don't have a referral letter, but an additional fee for the first appointment (outside health insurance) will be charged. If you don't have the completed medical questionnaire, the form is available at our reception desk. Please arrive a half hour before your scheduled appointment. This allows time for patient registration.

Medical consultation

Only family members can consult with a doctor when the patient is unable to visit the hospital. Please ask for a medical consultation when making an appointment. Please be noted that health insurances will not cover the medical consultation. The total billed cost will be 4,000 JPY (excluding consumption tax). Also, we cannot issue prescriptions for family members. A medical consultation is not available for current patients in our outpatient psychiatry clinic.

What to expect at your first visit

Prior to the evaluation by your psychiatrist, a doctor in training, medical school student, or clinical psychologist in training will ask you to confirm your details. This includes your social history, family history, past medical history, and presenting complaints. It will take 30 to 60 minutes. Following that, your doctor's first evaluation will take 30 to 90 minutes. Your doctor may suggest blood tests and an electrocardiogram (ECG) before starting any prescriptions.

A reverse referral

When patients' psychiatric symptoms are not acute and remain stable over time, we may refer them from our hospital to a community healthcare provider. It helps promote balanced utilization between health care providers at different levels. Brochures about nearby hospitals and clinics are available at our reception.
