Satoko Women’s Clinic (Breast surgery and Gynecology)

Greetings

Dr Satoko SHIMADA

Thank you very much for visiting our homepage. My name is Dr Satoko Shimada. Here we open the women’s clinics for check-up the breast and the uterus, especially for women with breast issues and gynecological troubles.

I have both an international and a Japanese medical license, studied abroad (the UK, the Ireland and the US) and trained in Japan. Having spent many years abroad, I have experienced the difficulties in finding and visiting clinics and hospital as a foreigner.

I decided to practice this clinic for those with some breast or gynecological issues living in Japan.

I would like to ask your help to fill-up the form when you visit out outpatient. Here are some inquiries in order to take mammography or ultrasonography examination safely.

Please Do not wear any perfume or deodorant spray (because it may damage the machine or affect someone undergoing breast cancer treatment).

Wear clothes that easily to take off (one-piece skirt would not be suit for the convenience).
Tell us if you have a pacemaker within your body or you have possibility of a pregnancy.

Do not to hesitate to contact us should you have any enquires.
