About Otorhinolaryngology

Otorhinolaryngology is often thought of clinical department as covering a relatively small area, such as the ears, nose, and throat, but in fact it covers the entire neck and above. Neurology It covers a large area of the head and neck, excluding the brain and spinal cord, which is handled by Neurosurgery and , the cervical spine, which is handled by Orthopedic Surgery, and the eyeballs, which are handled by Ophthalmology. In addition, the department features a wide range of medical services, from the treatment of minor ailments that everyone experiences at least once in their lives (primary care), such as colds, hay fever, nose bleeds, otitis media, and vertigo, to highly specialized services such as otological surgery and treatment of head and neck tumors and cancers. Because of this, our practice has recently come to be known as "Otorhinolaryngology ・Head and Neck Surgery".

As of April 2019, our staff has increased to three full-time doctors, enabling us to handle a wider range of illnesses and surgeries.

In principle, consultations will be limited to those with referral letter from another medical institution.
