I went to Azabu skin clinic and they very specifically told me at the very beginning they do not accept health insurance. Everything is private.
Just FYI
Best,

Hi Grace, Thanks so much for letting us know. The article has been updated. ~Sandra
I contacted Garden Clinic Hiroo to make a reservation and was told that they operate a walk in clinic, and I should just come past during opening hours.
Hello, I recommend going when it first opens in the morning! lauren
I went to Garden Clinic Hiro, and Dr. Keong was unbelievably rude and unprofessional. I had called to try to make an appointment, but was told they only accept walk ins. So I took an entire morning off from work to go. After waiting for one hour, I saw the Dr. who was upset that I wanted a full body check. She made it clear she only intended to spend 5 minutes with me in order to see as many patients as possible, as quickly as possible (extremely unprofessional). She said a body check would take 30 min (which I suppose would be a normal amount of time a Dr. would normally see a patient for, but not a Dr who is trying to speed through everyone as soon as possible), and I needed an appointment. I said I tried when I called, but she didn’t care and actually got mad,
I have no idea why. I have zero dermatology knowledge, and when I asked some simple questions, she basically said she didn’t have enough time to tell me, have me a piece of paper, and say google it. I have no idea how this women can practice medicine in Japan
Sorry about your experience. I have used Garden Clinic a few times and never found the Dr. rude. However, we value your feedback. Most doctors in Japan can only spend 5-10 mins per customer. It is very strange they would not let you make an appointment for a longer check. I think if you go to Tokyo Medical Clinic or Mid-town medical clinic and pay with international health insurance they will give you more time.
