Patient Care

From Start to Finish

We have adopted a system that allows patients to receive counseling without stress, even if far away or unable to make time to visit the clinic.

Patients who do not live in Sendai or who have moved away from Sendai can receive continued guidance no matter where they are.

We also offer counseling for people who are undergoing fertility treatment at other hospitals.

The Kanto Clinic Staff

In order to support a wide range of specialized urological fields, the Kanto Clinic employs specialists in oncology, sexual function, and infertility. In addition, the clinic is the only facility in Japan that is staffed by doctors who all specialize in male infertility treatment (as of September 1, 2018).

We employ full-time coordinators certified by the Japanese Society of Reproductive Medicine and nurses certified by the Japanese Nursing Association. There are only 103 certified reproductive medicine coordinators certified by the Japanese Society of Reproductive Medicine in Japan and 4 in Miyagi Prefecture.

Through strong teamwork among our staff, we can achieve more natural pregnancies through successful male infertility treatments, and when medically necessary, promptly coordinate with other medical facilities to provide advanced reproductive medicine such as in vitro fertilization and micro-fertilization for patients.

Our Commitment

We do what we do because, ultimately, we care about our patients. We strive: for every couple to be able to have a child, and for every man and woman to leave with renewed confidence and self-esteem. Every child that our patients bring into the world reminds us of the importance of what we do.

Dr. Kanto and all of us at the Kanto clinic have a vision for the future, one that embodies quality care for all, regardless of origin and language. It is a sad fact about Japan that medical caregivers are often unable to communicate and often unable to provide the best of their abilities to non-Japanese patients. We believe that we are doing our part to improve this, by maintaining our English website in addition to our Japanese website, and by providing English language lessons to our staff.

We may not be able to communicate 100% perfectly in English every step of the way, but we are committed to doing our best for you. Whether it is an issue related to urology, or related to your health in general, we aim to provide you the same high standard of care that we expect of ourselves for each and every patient that comes into our clinic.
