If you wish to visit our department but you have been treated somewhere else already, please get your doctor to write a letter of introduction. Please tell your doctor to fill out a request form which can be downloaded from the Regional Medical Liaison Office’s website, and fax it to our hospital to make a reservation for your initial consultation. If it is not possible for your doctor to fax the form, you cannot make an appointment on your own. We ask you to make an appointment for 10:30 or earlier on Monday through Thursday. On Friday, we perform surgery under general anesthesia. If you have to travel far, and contact Dr. Kazuya Yoshida (yoshida.kazuya.ut@mail.hosp.go.jp) in advance, you can make reservation for the afternoon and be hospitalized immediately after your initial visit. However, because of the condition of the ward we cannot always offer the type of room you request (a large room, private room, special private room, etc.). In addition, you should check my schedule before visiting the hospital because I am occasionally absent because of business trips or scientific conferences. Alternatively, you can call our clinic on 075-641-9161, extension 3141. In addition, if you are taking any oral medication we ask you to bring your prescription.
