    “I started visiting the clinic at age 34 and became pregnant after four artificial insemination cycles and my third IVF cycle. During treatment, advanced tests helped identify problems and allowed the doctor to propose solutions. When the hospital could not resolve an issue, we quickly received help from familiar outside doctors. The referral process was reassuring.” View More

    Thanks to you, I became pregnant after my first round of IVF. It was convenient to visit after work, with long treatment hours, and easy to balance treatment with my job.
    Jul 29, 2024
    In my case, I became pregnant and graduated from the clinic in about 6 months: 2 timed-intercourse cycles, 1 IUI, 1 IVF cycle, and then 1 IUI. Each visit seemed to end quickly, so I prepared the questions I wanted to ask before entering the examination room. My impression was that rather than compassionately listening to your story, they accurately identify what you need to do to become pregnant in a short time. I graduated within 6 months, so I think it was a good place for me. It opens early in the morning and stays open later after work than other clinics, so I could balance treatment with my job.
    Jul 26, 2024
    I started treatment at a hospital in Omori and received care here for my first through third children. I appreciated being able to visit after work. We froze 4 eggs during retrieval, and three out of four transfers went smoothly. I was happy that my doctor shared my joy when the pregnancy was confirmed. I am truly grateful.
    Jul 26, 2024
    After having my first child, I returned to the hospital for treatment for a second child. I was used to the crowds, so they did not bother me. The doctors, nurses, and reception staff provided friendly, thorough treatment and examinations.
    Jul 25, 2024
    Accurate testing and treatment helped me become pregnant successfully. I would like to thank the doctors and nurses who supported me.
    Aug 6, 2024
    The instructor explained everything clearly and directly, so I was able to attend without stress or anxiety. The attentive care also covers every detail, such as quickly arranging a bed when morning sickness is severe. Highly recommended.
    Aug 9, 2024
    After many treatments, I am finally pregnant! I will keep doing my best until I meet a healthy baby!
    Aug 9, 2024
    The doctors, nurses, embryology staff, and receptionists were all very kind and cheerful, and even when treatment was difficult, they did their best. I think this is a wonderful hospital. I will never forget Dr. Masato telling me, "You will regret it! It will be okay!" when I was hesitant about IVF. Thank you all very much.
    Aug 9, 2024
    I began receiving care at age 40. Although I became pregnant during my second IVF attempt, I miscarried at 13 weeks. One year later, I was diagnosed as pregnant after another second IVF attempt. Because I had miscarried during my first pregnancy, the doctor recommended various tests to help ensure that my next pregnancy would progress smoothly and developed a treatment plan based on the results. I feel this is now producing results. To be honest, I planned to give up after receiving the third government subsidy, but the director told me I was still within the age range for pregnancy, so I decided to try IVF one last time at my own expense. Although the future remains uncertain, I am glad that I was able to become pregnant this way.
    Aug 16, 2024
    I became pregnant after one IVF cycle and am scheduled to graduate from the clinic tomorrow. I went through timed intercourse and IUI first. Up through the IUI stage, I had some of the same concerns mentioned in other reviews, but as an IVF clinic, I believe its strength lies in IVF. The nurses, embryology staff, and female doctor were all very kind and made me feel reassured. I was also glad that I could schedule hospital visits around my work hours and very grateful for online booking. Thank you so much for your help.
    Aug 16, 2024
    Thank you for helping me when I had difficulty conceiving a second child. The clinic is clean and tidy, and the doctors and staff are courteous. I deducted one star because although the doctor seemed kind, he spoke a little too quickly and the conversation felt businesslike. If you prepare your questions in advance, you will not forget anything. Miraculously, I became pregnant after my first IUI, and I am extremely grateful to the doctor. Thank you very much.
    Aug 15, 2024
    Thank you for helping with my infertility treatment since April. After reading reviews and the website and discussing it with my husband, I chose IVF Clinic Shinagawa because it is close to my home. The receptionists, doctors, and staff were always kind and courteous and made sure I felt safe and relaxed. Even when I had concerns, the doctor examined and supported me each time, so I was able to approach treatment positively until the end. I became pregnant after my third IUI. I am truly grateful to everyone at this clinic. The facilities are also always clean and very pleasant. I always booked the first morning slot, so I did not have to wait very long.
    Aug 15, 2024
    Beginning when I was in my 30s, you cared for me for about 3-4 years. I underwent IUI and IVF and became pregnant through both. The doctor's explanations were concise and clear, which sometimes made it difficult to ask questions, but I was able to ask them at the next consultation. The doctor politely told me that if I found it difficult to ask him, I could ask a nurse or inquire at reception. Thank you very much.
    Aug 14, 2024
    I became pregnant after my first IVF cycle. Most of the staff are kind. The embryologist also explained everything very thoroughly. The wait can be long, but I found it manageable and have no complaints. It depends on the doctor; some are kind. However, others seemed uncomfortable when I asked questions, so if you want a doctor who treats you warmly, it may be better to visit another clinic.
    Aug 21, 2024
    I began receiving care here around April and became pregnant after my first IVF cycle. I believe I achieved this by the shortest route without anything unnecessary. The doctor was very kind, and the nurses were skilled at drawing blood, so I could visit the clinic without stress. Thank you very much.
    Aug 19, 2024
    I had tried timed intercourse, IUI, and IVF at other hospitals but had been unable to conceive. I attended the clinic 3 times and transferred to Hanabusa for the fourth attempt. After three egg retrievals, only two fertilized eggs could be frozen, but one implanted successfully during the first transfer, and we were able to have a healthy child. The various examinations were difficult, but with the support of the doctors and staff, I was able to do my best. I am truly grateful. Thank you so much!
    Aug 23, 2024
    Thank you for helping me over the past 6 years. This is a popular, conveniently located clinic with good results. At first, I felt it prioritized efficiency, and it was indeed efficient. But when I asked questions and voiced concerns, the doctors, nurses, and practitioners were welcoming, gave accurate answers, and helped resolve my concerns. The doctors study diligently and have strong clinical skills, which reassured me as I received advanced treatment. They took measures to help busy patients continue treatment, such as shortening wait times and providing written explanations. Animal-bottom stickers were discreetly placed in the operating room to ease anxiety. Although they had to be removed during the coronavirus pandemic, the clinic left comics and chocolate in the waiting room and found other thoughtful ways to lift my spirits. When the clinic was busy, there was not always time for a long consultation, but I highly recommend reading Dr. Kanako's blog, where you can learn about Dr. Masasa's personality and the staff's sincere approach to treatment. Sometimes I wanted to give up because I could not see the future, but I will never forget how often you encouraged me. Please continue being an excellent clinic that brings many smiles. Thank you very much for your support over the years.

    I chose this clinic for infertility treatment because it was easy to reach from home. At my first visit, I met the clinic director, Dr. Kanako, who explained the treatment policy, so I felt comfortable attending. This was my first infertility treatment. I was nervous about self-injecting hormones during the egg-retrieval cycle, but the nurse explained everything in detail and helped me through it. Masaki and Yamada were also always kind and easy to approach with concerns. Because of my age, I expected infertility treatment to be difficult. After 3 egg retrievals and 3 transfers, implantation finally occurred on the third transfer. Testing before the second transfer found no specific problems, but implantation remained difficult. Before the third transfer, the clinic directed me to another clinic for two tests. Thanks to this, the issue was resolved and I became pregnant after the third transfer. I am still somewhat worried because I will give birth at an older age, but I am glad I chose this clinic. Thank you to the doctors, nurses, and practitioners involved in my treatment. Thank you very much.
    Aug 22, 2024
    Thank you for helping us with our second child. He explained everything I was worried about, which reassured me. I became pregnant after the first IUI. Thank you.
    Aug 28, 2024
    I transferred from Omori and graduated after two egg retrievals and a third transfer. I received treatment here for one year. Appointments were convenient, and visits were kept to a minimum, so I could undergo treatment while working. The doctor was kind and answered my questions, but did not explain everything from beginning to end, which sometimes made me anxious. By doing extensive research myself, I understood the treatment process and was able to approach it with determination. I am glad I was treated at this clinic because the technical skill was excellent and they recommended treatment suited to me. If you want someone to listen compassionately, I believe Dr. Yamada is the best choice. Dr. Yamada creates a pleasant atmosphere and is kind, so I was always glad to visit. She is a doctor who makes you think. At reception, newer staff responded well, but some longtime staff were stern and did not respond well when I asked questions. I have seen patients become angry with reception staff, so I hope things improve.
    Aug 26, 2024
    After 6 rounds of artificial insemination, we were able to confirm a heartbeat. Because of work, I could not always see the doctor at the right time and caused some inconvenience, but I am grateful for their clear advice and hope to continue coming here.
    Aug 30, 2024
    I completed 5 timed-intercourse cycles and 1 IVF cycle and was fortunate to conceive during the first IVF cycle. I hesitated because I believed IVF would impose a significant physical and financial burden, but my doctor said, ‘Repeating the same approach will not change anything. I think it is a good idea to step up treatment.’ I am glad I received that encouragement. The embryo was cultured to the blastocyst stage, and its daily growth was documented in the culture report. At transfer, I was happy to think, ‘This baby is about to come...!’ Also, when I had an allergic reaction during injections to prevent OHSS, requiring daily hospital visits for about 5 days, they continually monitored me, provided ice packs, and treated me warmly. Thank you very much. I gave 4 stars because some people may care about the following points: • Long waiting times: from reception to checkout, 1.5 hours at the shortest and 3.5 hours at the longest. • If you want to view the ultrasound monitor, you must open the curtain and face the doctor. • The monitor cannot be seen during transfer, so you cannot watch the transfer itself. • In principle, the doctor determines the treatment plan and which embryo to transfer.
    Aug 29, 2024
    Infertility treatment helped me successfully conceive my first child. I am very grateful to all the staff for efficiently and helpfully providing examinations and medication guidance, enabling a smooth pregnancy after IVF. Thank you very much.
    Sep 7, 2024
    I began trying to conceive at age 35 and was very anxious, but thanks to the reassuring doctors and staff and the clean clinic, I was able to become pregnant without problems. Thank you very much.
    Sep 6, 2024
    I confirmed my first pregnancy at Naoka Women's Clinic and received infertility treatment here for my second child. Waits can be long after holidays and on Saturdays, but are much shorter on other weekdays. It was helpful that I could minimize the number of hospital visits. Most doctors are busy and give concise explanations. Most nurses seemed courteous and kind. After one IUI and one IVF cycle, pregnancy was safely confirmed. Because this was my first IVF treatment, I had many concerns, but the hospital staff helped me overcome the difficulties of infertility treatment. Thank you very much.
    Sep 5, 2024
    I became pregnant after my first ICSI and blastocyst transfer. Scheduling was efficient, and clear written instructions on medication timing kept everything running smoothly. The doctors, nurses, and practitioners caring for me spoke in a straightforward but kind manner. The hospital was clean and spacious, so I felt comfortable going there.
    Sep 5, 2024
    After egg retrieval, I conceived naturally, possibly due to the effect of the retrieval. This is my first pregnancy, so I am a little nervous, but I will care for my baby and trust that she will grow safely.
    Sep 4, 2024
    My wife is in her late thirties, and I am in my early forties. After three IUI cycles, we became pregnant following our first IVF cycle. The doctors and staff were very courteous. Thank you very much. The clinic is clean and plays relaxing classical music, so visits felt comfortable. Egg retrieval was performed under anesthesia and was completely painless. I rested in bed before going home. It was also helpful to test the uterine microbiome at the same time. Although the cost is high, advanced-medical-care subsidies can be requested. Hormone-replacement medication after pregnancy was not covered by insurance, so it felt somewhat expensive. Booking is easy, but waits can be long when busy. If you work, allow plenty of time.
    Sep 12, 2024
    I had two children at this hospital after being unable to conceive despite spending six months at another hospital. Thank you very much. I am truly grateful!
    Sep 12, 2024
    I was referred here by my family doctor for infertility treatment and have attended for about a year. It is in a building next to the station, so on days with longer waits I can go to the nearby Starbucks, which I appreciate. All four doctors are very kind and give accurate, individualized advice on how to proceed, so I feel comfortable entrusting my care to them. All the staff work efficiently, the clinic is always clean, and I feel relaxed there. I am very glad to have received care here.
    Sep 11, 2024
    It is crowded and the wait is long, but the service is friendly.
    Sep 11, 2024
    Appointments go smoothly, and you can leave the room while waiting after a blood draw, so it is convenient to visit during work.
    Sep 11, 2024
    I have attended Hana IVF Clinic Shinagawa since having my first child, and I have now been fortunate to have my second child. It took about 3 years of hospital visits before I became pregnant. Treatment had to be paused because of a miscarriage, but I stepped up treatment and became pregnant through self-funded IVF. All the doctors explain things clearly when asked, so it is best to prepare your questions in advance. The nurses are also kind and easy to talk to. Thank you very much.
    Sep 17, 2024
    I transferred here from a general obstetrics and gynecology clinic in May 2024, became pregnant after my first IVF cycle, and graduated at 8 weeks. I do not particularly recommend this clinic for timed intercourse through IUI. As its name suggests, its IVF success rate seems relatively high. There is almost no detailed explanation from staff about IVF, so you need to ask many questions yourself. I wish they had told me in advance that everything after a positive pregnancy test would be self-pay. Treatment costs seem higher than in other areas. Fertility treatment is difficult, but I am grateful they achieved results on the first attempt.
    Sep 25, 2024
    I became pregnant after my second blastocyst transfer. I visited the hospital less often than expected and believe the treatment was efficient. The explanations were brief, but most questions were answered thoroughly. Appointments were easy to make, and the location near the station was convenient. There was some waiting, but I think that is true at every hospital. Also, the waiting room calls patients by medical card number, but the corridor outside the examination rooms calls them by their real names.
    Sep 25, 2024
    The facility was clean, and the doctors were cheerful, which put me at ease. Thanks to you, I became pregnant safely. I am glad I chose this clinic.
    Sep 24, 2024
    I spent a great deal of time and money trying to conceive. The examinations are careful. However, waiting times are long. Including the appointment, it takes 2 hours. Even on days without bloodwork, it takes an extra hour. This may be fine if you have plenty of time, but I work and found it very stressful. I did not understand much at the time and completed the maximum number of attempts, but looking back, I think I should have stopped artificial insemination immediately and moved to IVF. If you want to conceive quickly, I recommend trying 1 or 2 times and then moving up promptly. You do not need to spend so much money, time, or stress.
    Sep 24, 2024
    The doctor basically gives no explanation. You are simply told the results, and treatment proceeds slowly.
    Sep 23, 2024
    Both my first and second children were conceived through ICSI. The doctors and nurses were easy to talk to.
    Sep 27, 2024
    Thank you for helping with IVF for my first and second children. Despite being ages 37 and 41, both pregnancies occurred after the first transfer. Treatment took a long time and was difficult to balance with work, but I am glad I trusted the doctors and staff and underwent treatment.
    Sep 27, 2024
    Everyone was kind and made me feel relaxed during my visit. Thank you very much.
    Sep 27, 2024
    After 2 egg retrievals and 3 transfers, I welcomed my child. The hospital is very clean, and being able to send LINE messages from home and receive answers to questions I forgot to ask at appointments was very helpful.
    Sep 26, 2024
    Thank you for helping with my first through third children. I am very grateful that I could freeze 4 early embryos and become pregnant with every transfer! After the third IUI, we decided to move to IVF. I now wish I had tried IVF sooner. I paid out of pocket for my second child's transfer and used insurance for my third, but was surprised that I had to pay a success fee for embryos created at my own expense. It was slightly cheaper for the third child, but this was a drawback. For my third child, the process from initial diagnosis to transfer was fast and required fewer visits. Dr. Kanako and Dr. Yamada cared for me. Although examinations were quick, they smiled and gladly answered questions. The nurses were also kind. Waiting times were acceptable, since any obstetrics and gynecology clinic requires waiting. If I deliver safely, I plan to return for a fourth embryo transfer.
    Sep 29, 2024
    I transferred from a well-known clinic in Tokyo. I became pregnant after my first embryo transfer here! The doctor offered tests and treatment options I had not previously received, allowing me to undergo treatment with confidence. After a long period of infertility treatment, I am very glad I transferred here!
    Oct 4, 2024
    I visited the clinic several times while temporarily returning from overseas. Although this was an unusual situation, I appreciated that they considered it when scheduling. Online information said low AMH treatment could take time, so I prepared for a long process, but after two retrievals and one transfer, pregnancy was confirmed. Infertility treatment often left me discouraged, but Dr. Kanako and everyone else explained treatment clearly and concisely each time, allowing me to attend with confidence. Egg retrieval and transfer were painless. It was also helpful to have questions answered through LINE and by phone. The clinic is bright, with many Starbucks locations and restaurants nearby, making visits convenient.
    Oct 3, 2024
    My first visit was when I was 39 years and 11 months old, and only my husband and I attended. I knew nothing at first, but the video helped me understand, and I learned more about the process at each visit. About a year and a half later, on my sixth insurance-covered transfer, I underwent a two-stage transfer. From the beginning, Hanoka considered convenience around work and appointment times, and I ultimately chose IVF. Everyone has different criteria, but overall I am glad I chose this clinic and can recommend it. Each visit takes about two hours and usually includes two consultations. There are four doctors, and the doctor changes by day of the week, so you may see someone different each time. I used a credit-limit card and felt I nearly reached the limit every month. It takes time and money, but mental health matters most. I know a child is a gift, yet I kept blaming myself and wondering what was wrong with me. Mutual support with my husband was most important. I felt that Hanoka calmly guided me toward the goal, selected what was necessary, and did what was best at the time, so I decided to leave the specialist work to the specialists. Thank you very much!
    Oct 3, 2024
    At age 41, I had a two-stage transfer during my third IVF cycle and became pregnant. Sometimes treatment did not progress well and I worried, but I was moved by the belief stated on the doctor’s website: ‘The goal is not egg retrieval or transfer, but pregnancy and graduation from the clinic in a short time.’ I am very glad I chose this hospital because the doctor considered the best treatment with me at every visit. Appointments may feel more casual than at other hospitals, but I felt they did what was needed while seeing as many patients as possible, making the clinic easy to attend while working full time.
    Oct 2, 2024
    I chose this clinic because I could walk there from home. I became pregnant on my second cycle using timed intercourse! I measured my basal body temperature daily but could not determine the exact ovulation date, so I appreciated having a doctor check. I was a little nervous while waiting, but the stuffed animals and animal stickers in the clinic helped me relax. Weekday evenings were not crowded, so everything went smoothly. Everyone was kind and efficient, making visits easy.
    Oct 2, 2024
    First, you have to call out your temperature to the receptionist above. When I said I had forgotten my medical card, the receptionist sighed heavily. I did not mind paying to have it reissued, but I was told not to forget it next time. The door remained open even during blood draws. You could hear other patients’ results. I also found the internal examination table unhygienic because there was no paper covering the chair. The doctors generally had an arrogant manner and did not seem to get along well with one another. I am curious why the clinic is rated so highly.
    Oct 9, 2024
    I graduated after my fifth transfer. When the fourth transfer failed, I considered transferring to another clinic because I would need to start over, but I decided to continue treatment here. Effort does not always produce results, and repeated attempts may still be unsuccessful. The past two years were very difficult both physically and emotionally. However, I believe I was able to undergo many tests here to identify the cause of my condition and receive appropriate treatment and advice. The doctor generally gives brief explanations, so it is important to be proactive and say what you want to know.
    Jan 28, 2025
    The hospital is easily accessible from the station and is clean inside. The doctors are also kind and offer warm words of encouragement, so I felt comfortable attending appointments.
    Jan 28, 2025
    The doctors were very kind. They encouraged me to keep trying and offered various treatment options, which I appreciated.
    Jan 26, 2025
    I moved after having eggs retrieved for IVF at another clinic, and Naoka then took care of me. When I began looking for a clinic that would accept me for a frozen embryo transfer, I remember feeling relieved to finally find one after being turned down several times. The process went smoothly, and the practitioner gave me detailed instructions over the phone, so I felt comfortable visiting even before the move. Weekday appointments at the hospital often finished smoothly, which allowed me to continue treatment without stress. I became pregnant safely and will graduate from the clinic soon. Thank you very much.
    Jan 25, 2025
    I became pregnant after one round of IVF. The hospital had a very good atmosphere, and I felt safe going there. My questions were answered thoroughly, so I could proceed with treatment confidently. I also liked how easy it was to book and change appointments online.
    Jan 25, 2025
    I moved to Tokyo and chose this clinic because it was easy to reach. My previous hospital had only one doctor who knew everything, so I was a little worried about seeing a different doctor each time. However, when I heard that egg retrieval was performed under anesthesia, I decided to try it. As a result, I became pregnant after my second IVF cycle. Other than it being crowded on certain days, the checkout wait was not too long, and all the doctors and staff were kind, so I was satisfied overall!
    Jan 31, 2025
    I received care here for my first and second children, and I am now fortunate to have my third. When treatment did not progress well, the doctor's positive comments were very encouraging. The clinic is conveniently located near the station, and it is easy to schedule and change appointments online, making visits convenient. I had almost given up on having children because of infertility, but I became a mother of three. I am truly happy. Thank you. When I consider having a fourth child, I look forward to your continued support.
    Jan 29, 2025
    Thank you for helping with my secondary infertility. I became pregnant through ICSI. Because appointments were available after work and on Saturdays, it was easy to adjust my schedule and undergo infertility treatment while continuing to work. Egg retrieval and the microbiome test were performed while I was asleep, and I appreciated that the treatment caused no pain or other trauma. I thank the doctors, practitioners, nurses, receptionists, and everyone who cared for me. Thank you very much.
    Jan 29, 2025
    The clinic is easy to reach because it is close to the station. The waiting area is always crowded on weekdays and Saturdays, and waits are often long, but seeing others working as hard as I was reassured me. There are several doctors, and I often saw a different one each day, but I felt reassured because some listened carefully and I could obtain a particular doctor's opinion through the nurses. I became pregnant on my third ICSI attempt. They answered the phone when I was worried, allowing me to continue treatment with peace of mind. Thank you very much.
    Jul 9, 2025
    I began treatment here at the end of March this year. They started an egg retrieval cycle immediately. Before transferring here, I was treated at Hanaoka Clinic in Omori. Deciding to undergo IVF took courage, but given my age, I could not give up easily and every cycle mattered, so the prompt start to treatment helped me greatly. After my second retrieval cycle, I became pregnant from my first transfer. I am truly grateful. The clinic is clean, and weekday waits are not long. I still have frozen embryos, so I would like to return next time. May the stork visit everyone longing for a baby.
    Jul 8, 2025
    I transferred to this hospital for treatment. Dr. Masatomo is cheerful and gave me tremendous support. Compared with the four years I spent at my previous hospital, I was here only a few months and received good news much sooner than expected. I am truly grateful.
    Jul 8, 2025
    I started coming here in February and graduated in early July. Because timed intercourse at another clinic had not worked well, I requested IVF here from the start and successfully conceived. Although there can be a wait, they accommodate urgent situations, and I could schedule my next appointment around my own availability. This made it very convenient to attend during work hours. My employer was also very understanding. I am very grateful to the doctors and staff, who were always warm, friendly, and helpful. I recommend this clinic to anyone considering pregnancy or feeling concerned about it.
    Jul 6, 2025
    We began with timed intercourse and later conceived through IVF. The doctors, nurses, and receptionists were all very friendly, so I could visit with peace of mind. All the doctors were cheerful and approachable, making them easy to consult. Thanks to the encouragement of the doctors and nurses, I kept trying during difficult times and did not give up. Thank you very much.
    Jul 2, 2025
    Because I was undergoing infertility treatment while working, I worried about scheduling and whether I could attend appointments smoothly. Fortunately, online booking and the doctor's scheduling adjustments made it manageable. As others have said, it is best to allow two to three hours for each visit. Dr. Yamada treated me most of the time, and I felt comfortable receiving care from him. This was my first infertility treatment, and I am glad I chose Hanaoka IVF Clinic. Thank you very much for your help. Thank you.
    Jul 25, 2025
    Thank you for your care. The clinic stays open relatively late, which made it easy to attend. I also appreciate how flexibly they accommodated my circumstances.
    Jul 23, 2025
    I always felt confused. Come back when your next period starts → I would not have come on my own... At my previous hospital... → Oh, then I will prescribe some medication... (I had given them a referral letter.) Let's use this protocol → I think we did the same thing last time... → Oh, then never mind... Is it because I do not have an attending physician? Do they not review my medical records? Would they not prescribe this medication unless I told them about my situation? I felt confused every time. Other hospitals gave more thorough explanations and developed treatment plans with me. They always asked what the medication was like, what side effects it might have, and whether I had any concerns. I had never felt so confused, anxious, or upset, so I cannot help wondering why this hospital has such high ratings. I wonder whether other people have only been here... Every consultation with the doctor ended so quickly that I would think, "Wait, is the explanation over???" (I later asked the front desk and nurses.) It felt routine and inadequately explained. The male doctor also spoke carelessly, and I did not trust him. They did not use an ovulation test for my artificial insemination either. At my previous hospital, if the test was negative, they would first use medication to induce ovulation and then perform the insemination. This time that did not happen, so I missed ovulation and wasted time. They also performed more blood draws than other hospitals, so the cost was higher than usual. I thought they were open into the evening, but they have a final check-in time that can be earlier depending on the day. When my period began, the last appointment was no longer available. If I was still at work, attending was more difficult than I had expected. The embryologist, however, explained everything politely and patiently, making it easy to understand. This clinic does not give everyone detailed explanations, so it may suit people who want to complete procedures quickly. Because the ratings were high, I expected clearer explanations and a polite, reassuring manner. Even though I still have frozen eggs there, I will change hospitals next time.

    The wait is extremely long; waiting all day is not unusual. The workflow is quite unreasonable. They do not apologize and seem to take it for granted. It is an arrogant business.

    I had my first child with him, and now I have had my second. He always provides treatment designed to help you conceive as soon as possible! Consultations usually take 1.5 to 2 hours!
    Jul 16, 2025
    I attended this clinic for about a year and underwent timed intercourse, artificial insemination, and IVF. The clinic has a very bright atmosphere. The staff carefully explained how to use the medications and the embryo culture results. They also answered my questions thoroughly. I was very anxious on the day of egg retrieval, but the doctor spoke kindly to me, helping me relax during the procedure. Consultations with the doctor are brief. If there is anything you want to know or are concerned about, I recommend asking proactively.
    Jul 30, 2025
    Consultations went smoothly. Even for first-time patients, the doctors did not explain the treatment plan in detail, so without researching in advance or preparing questions, the consultation could end quickly without time to ask anything. Once I became familiar with the process, however, it was very efficient, which I appreciated. I think it would be better if doctors were more considerate of patients receiving infertility treatment for the first time. After two failed implantations, the doctor said during the third attempt, “I think this one should work,” and I ultimately graduated successfully. I was very moved and felt that an experienced professional's intuition may be accurate.
    Jul 27, 2025
    Thank you for your help. Saturdays are busy, but if you come early on a weekday morning, you can sometimes finish within an hour.
    Aug 8, 2025
    People I asked said infertility-treatment steps seem to vary by clinic. I believe any method is fine if the goal is the same. We chose the shortest route because it was convenient while working, and I am truly glad I found this clinic!
    Aug 7, 2025
    The facility was clean and the staff courteous, allowing me to continue working and become pregnant safely. Thank you.
    Aug 4, 2025
    About four months after my first consultation, I confirmed my pregnancy. I chose Hanaoka Clinic for its convenient location and am glad I did. The praise I received at every step was very encouraging. (I had chosen the right medical institution, my test results had been good before my first Hanaoka consultation, and so on.) I would certainly recommend it to anyone in similar circumstances seeking advice.
    Aug 29, 2025
    I received care here for both my first and second children. Online booking was available, waits were rarely very long, and it was easy to attend while working. When treatment did not go well, they encouraged me with positive words. They also suggested treatment suited to my condition at the time, and I have now graduated! Infertility treatment brings many worries and hardships, but every doctor was kind, and I believe I could continue because of this hospital. Thank you very much.
    Aug 25, 2025
    I became pregnant after less than a year of treatment at the clinic. The clinic is very clean and comfortable. It is located in the Osaki Gate City shopping center, so while waiting, such as after a blood draw, you can relax at a café. Considering my age and egg quality, I appreciated that they quickly developed a treatment plan including IUI and IVF from the outset and moved forward promptly.
    Aug 24, 2025
    I underwent infertility treatment at this hospital at age 39 and was fortunate to have my first child last year. My child is now one year old and truly precious. At 41, I decided to try again even though it might not be possible, so I underwent a second course of infertility treatment here. My menstrual flow had decreased considerably since the first treatment, and the doctor said I might reach menopause within six months. However, the treatment was appropriate, and I ultimately had another child. The doctor is now prescribing medication to help prevent miscarriage. I believe this hospital is truly trustworthy.
    Aug 19, 2025
    After one year and four months of treatment, I conceived twins following one IUI and four IVF cycles. I experienced several chemical pregnancies and nearly gave up, but the doctors always encouraged me positively and helped me persevere. Most importantly, they made me feel secure. Thank you for all your care. The nurses, not only the doctors, were highly efficient. I could book online, and check-in and checkout were smooth and courteous. Waiting is common, so I considered it expected. The area around the hospital is excellent; after blood draws, I could go to work or a café, and I was grateful to attend efficiently while employed. Fertility treatment does not always proceed as planned, so balancing work and treatment can be difficult, but the environment here was comfortable, and I recommend it to working patients.
    Aug 18, 2025
    This hospital is very courteous and helpful. Fertility treatment itself requires some knowledge, so attending while working was somewhat inconvenient. However, they answered all my questions accurately and enabled me to proceed smoothly to the next step. Thank you very much.
    Sep 5, 2025
    This is a repost. I used your services again to have a second child. I was initially concerned that the transfer date would not work, but you adjusted the timing, the transfer went smoothly, and I became pregnant. Thank you very much for your kindness. [Previous post] I was treated here for about 10 months. All the doctors were very kind. The clinic is clean. Although waits can sometimes be long, you can leave and spend time at the café in the same building.
    Sep 2, 2025
    We tried timed intercourse three times at Hanaoka Hospital in Omori, but all three attempts failed. Considering my husband's age and our future plans, we soon began IVF at this affiliated clinic. We tried IVF once, but I miscarried at eight weeks. Soon afterward, I was transferred to another hospital. After consulting the doctor, we decided to discard my frozen eggs and schedule everything before the transfer. After the miscarriage, we tried timed intercourse twice before moving. Of course, I could not share the outcome afterward, so I am writing to let everyone know. Dr. Yamada, our child arrived at the very last moment. We are now seven months pregnant. Dr. Yamada's calm judgment and kindness helped me persevere through infertility treatment, and a miracle happened. Thank you so much.
    Sep 2, 2025
    I had many concerns, but the doctors always encouraged me positively, which helped me continue. Because I had experienced a miscarriage, the doctor prescribed appropriate medications, including birth control pills, and I was able to graduate safely. Saturdays are crowded, but weekdays are quieter, so I recommend going then. It is close to the station, the surrounding area is pleasant, and it is convenient for working people. When I try for my second child, I will definitely return for your services.
    Sep 13, 2025
    Thanks to your care, I successfully became pregnant with my second child.
    Sep 12, 2025
    This was my first visit to this hospital for infertility treatment. However, because I had visited another clinic the previous day, I was surprised to learn at checkout that the visit would be self-pay. They determined that although I was considering treatment, I had only come for a second opinion. The director did not explain this during the consultation and proceeded to order blood work, which I declined after learning it would be self-pay. I paid out of pocket for the tests other than the blood work. My husband, who only accompanied me, was also charged approximately 3,000 yen for a consultation. Ultimately, 15 minutes with the doctor and an ultrasound felt very expensive. I wish they had clearly explained at the beginning that the visit would be self-pay. Regarding the consultation, I was advised to start with IVF because of my age, but since it was my first visit, I would also have liked an explanation of other treatment options. The discussion felt one-sided, and even when I asked questions, I received only brief answers, with little dialogue. The director also explained that "insurance-covered IVF has a 5% pregnancy rate, which I had already confirmed online, while self-pay IVF has a 50–60% rate." I did not understand the basis for this claim and felt strongly steered toward self-pay treatment. I also questioned whether such definitive figures should be stated privately when they are not publicly disclosed. Both my wife and I felt a somewhat overbearing atmosphere throughout the visit, which left us uneasy. I cannot make definitive judgments because we did not actually receive treatment, but the following points concerned us: • High costs • Strong pressure toward self-pay treatment • Long wait times • The director's manner felt overbearing When I later reviewed other patients' comments, I found many similar opinions and somewhat regretted not researching the clinic beforehand. After discussing it as a couple, we decided not to proceed with treatment because there were too many concerns.
    Sep 7, 2025
    I received infertility treatment here for approximately two years. The doctor's treatment process and explanations were highly professional and efficient, so there was no need to worry. He did not explain every detail, but answered all my questions. The receptionists were not very helpful with matters such as subsidies, so I researched them myself before going. If you go without any prior knowledge, you may feel dissatisfied or even anxious. However, I believe this clinic has strong technical expertise, so I recommend it to those willing to persevere. The occasional part-time doctors were also very kind.
    Sep 19, 2025
    After having our first child, we conceived our second through in vitro fertilization (IVF) here. Although the wait could sometimes be long depending on the date or day of the week, I never minded because all the staff were kind and efficient. It was also easy to change appointments, which was excellent. Dr. Yamada, who managed our entire treatment, was kind at every visit and made accurate diagnoses. The relaxed, pleasant atmosphere was very supportive. Infertility treatment can sometimes be discouraging because the end is not in sight and treatments repeatedly fail. I am truly glad I trusted the doctors and staff here and persevered. I would definitely recommend this treatment to anyone I know who needs it.
    Sep 19, 2025
    We received care here for both our first and second children. We conceived our first child after our first artificial insemination following our transfer to this clinic. With our second child, we conceived on our first IVF attempt after several rounds of artificial insemination. Moving on to IVF and undergoing testing revealed one reason why artificial insemination had not worked. I sometimes felt discouraged because the process took a little longer, but I am glad we advanced to IVF. We are truly grateful that this clinic helped us conceive, and I am glad we came here. Children cannot be brought into the clinic, but the building itself is spacious and there is a park nearby, so my husband and child could play while I was being seen. It was also helpful that my family had somewhere to spend the time.
    Sep 19, 2025
    My wife and I are receiving infertility treatment. The female director of the clinic is slim, and some may find her somewhat arrogant, but she is warm and dependable. The issue is with the male deputy director. My wife said he repeatedly said, “Beautiful, beautiful,” during her internal examination, which made her feel creeped out. As her husband, I found this very uncomfortable, and it also seems difficult to visit the clinic on days when the male doctor is not there. If you want to avoid this experience, it is best to choose a particular day of the week.
    Sep 19, 2025
    We began infertility treatment when my wife was 35 and I was 34. We had never experienced a pregnancy and knew nothing about infertility treatment. After about a year without conceiving naturally, our age made us anxious, so we decided to seek care. We conceived on our third cycle, after two rounds of timed intercourse and one AIH. The explanations and answers to our questions were easy to understand, appointments were easy to schedule, and the clinic was convenient to visit. We are very grateful.
    Sep 15, 2025
    It is close to the station, and you will not get wet even on rainy days. I came this time for my second child. Although I conceived through timed intercourse, I was somewhat concerned about the self-injections and egg retrieval process for my first IVF cycle. They explained every step very carefully, allowing me to proceed with confidence. It is very crowded on Saturdays and difficult to find a seat, but the examinations are thorough, which makes me feel more at ease than at a less busy clinic.
    Oct 10, 2025
    I conceived through timed intercourse. I was surprised and confused, but happy, because I had somehow been told I had not ovulated that month. Thank you very much.
    Oct 10, 2025
    I received your help for less than a year. We progressed from timed intercourse to IVF and were fortunate to conceive on the first attempt. I am very grateful to the doctors.
    Oct 9, 2025
    Everyone is kind. Waits can sometimes be long, but the clinic has a pleasant atmosphere, so you can wait comfortably. I am very grateful to have conceived safely.
    Oct 9, 2025
    We received treatment at Tokyo Precon for about a year and a half, progressing from artificial insemination to IVF and ultimately conceiving. We had heard their pregnancy rates were high and expected them to move immediately to IVF, but they respected our wishes regarding the number of inseminations and treatment plan, which was reassuring. We chose them because they were close to home, but ultimately we are truly grateful we found them. Thank you very much.
    Oct 9, 2025
    I was referred from an affiliated clinic in Omori and conceived after my first IUI. I attended about five consultations. Each visit took roughly 1–2.5 hours through payment, depending on how many consultations were scheduled. The waiting area was crowded and the number display difficult to understand, which I hope will improve. Pelvic examinations by every doctor were nearly painless, making me feel more relaxed. The consultations were minimal, but perhaps that was necessary to avoid even longer waits. I am very grateful to the doctors who continue providing obstetric and gynecologic care in this era. Thank you.
    Oct 30, 2025
    After our first child, we successfully conceived our second here through intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Treatment was emotionally difficult at times, but the doctors' care and consideration helped us persevere. The clinic is close to the station, and online appointments are convenient, making it easy to balance work and treatment.
    Oct 29, 2025
    I began attending this clinic at age 36 and have now been here for one year and ten months. After three inseminations, I moved to IVF. My AMH was below 1.0, and they tried ovarian platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy followed by egg retrieval. After several transfers, it now appears I will be able to complete treatment successfully. The clinic has a relaxed atmosphere and recommends treatments suited to my situation. During retrieval and transfer, the staff's encouragement and conversation gave me great strength. I have not visited other infertility clinics, but I feel this one suits me. If you have questions about treatment, gather information yourself or ask proactively. I used the waiting time to collect a great deal of information.
    Oct 29, 2025
    I thought I would need years of infertility treatment, but I am very grateful that my first IVF cycle succeeded and I was able to become pregnant.
    Oct 29, 2025
    I have received treatment here since having my first child. I originally attended a large clinic but transferred because its treatment process felt like an assembly line, I saw a different doctor each time, and I was not becoming pregnant. Two years ago, this clinic was less busy, and the doctors were very kind and encouraging, helping me complete treatment smoothly. This time, I also became pregnant. However, waiting more than an hour while experiencing morning sickness was very difficult.
    Oct 27, 2025
    This was my first IVF treatment. I was nervous at first because there was so much I did not understand. However, the doctors, nurses, and receptionists were all very friendly, so I felt comfortable coming here. Thank you very much.
    Nov 20, 2025
    I also received treatment here for my second child. The wait was long, but the male doctor was cheerful and gave me a great deal of encouragement, which lifted my spirits after prolonged treatment.
    Nov 17, 2025
    In my forties and nearing the end of my insurance coverage, I became pregnant after my third and final embryo transfer. When treatment began, I knew nothing and took a passive role, simply following medical instructions. Through repeated attempts, they recommended necessary testing and supplements each time. Looking back, I believe they guided me along the best path. The doctors and all staff created a positive, optimistic atmosphere that helped me persist with treatment and remain hopeful about the future. The clinic is conveniently located with excellent transportation access. After consultations, I could immediately work remotely from a nearby café, which was very convenient while balancing work and treatment. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone in a similar situation.
    Nov 17, 2025
    They explained each treatment step in detail and encouraged me by saying, “From now on, we will work together.” I was satisfied. Perhaps because they are popular, it is always crowded and can sometimes feel routine, but they answered all my questions, so I gave them four stars.
    Nov 14, 2025
    I received care there for more than a year. Initially, they helped identify the best time to conceive, then recommended intrauterine insemination and IVF based on my and my partner's circumstances. We ultimately conceived through IVF, and I am very grateful. The long waits were inconvenient, but I understand why they are so popular: the location is convenient and their success rates are high. Thank you for all your help over the years.
    Nov 12, 2025
    Thanks to you, I became pregnant successfully. The doctors and staff were warm and friendly, allowing me to undergo treatment with peace of mind. The hospital is directly connected to the station, and the same building has many restaurants and places to rest, making it very convenient.
    Dec 11, 2025
    Because my menstrual cycles were irregular before transfer, becoming pregnant was difficult, but I conceived after the first transfer. The medication instructions were concise and clear, and the nurses explained all side effects in detail. Waiting times were longer on Friday evenings and Saturdays because there were more patients, but shorter on other days.
    Dec 10, 2025
    After having my first child, I chose this facility again when trying for my second. I had frozen embryos and became pregnant after transfer. My doctor was Dr. Kanako, who patiently and thoroughly answered every question and made me feel reassured. Although there was some waiting, I could leave the clinic whenever needed, so it was not too tiring. All the staff were very kind, and I am glad I chose this facility.
    Dec 6, 2025
    Depending on how busy the clinic is, consultation time may be limited and explanations may be brief. Saturdays are extremely busy, so I think it is inevitable that much of the process feels routine… If I have a more formal question, I try to adjust my work schedule and visit on a weekday afternoon. It would be better if part of the clinic closed for half a day on a weekday and full-day appointments were offered on Saturdays. Reviews often mention problems with reception staff, but I have never encountered any during my visits.
    Dec 6, 2025
    I do not recommend this clinic. ① Waiting time Even with an appointment, the wait is three hours, making appointments meaningless. ② Examinations They seem unwilling to explain the purpose of treatment or examinations or the overall process. Patients unfamiliar with the process receive only a cursory verbal explanation. This was so frustrating that I no longer wanted to ask questions. ③ Receptionists This may be only my impression, but the receptionists' tone was unpleasant. The entire process lacks explanation and feels like an assembly-line factory that makes patients wait unnecessarily and charges them even when it requires waiting. I will not return. I know there are many patients, but these are matters of life and death. I hope they improve and provide more patient-centered examinations.
    Dec 5, 2025
    I want to express my gratitude to the doctor and everyone else who helped me overcome my anxiety. Thank you very much for everything you did.
    Dec 28, 2025
    I attended a preconception seminar in Tokyo and had testing here, then continued attending this clinic for about a year. The doctors are very kind and the examinations are thorough. I am now pregnant. Thank you very much!
    Dec 26, 2025
    The hospital is clean, and the doctors are kind and very helpful with my treatment.
    Dec 26, 2025
    I have been coming here for several years, initially attracted by the convenient location, strong reputation, and most importantly, the reassuring atmosphere. Although the clinic is in an office building, it is very quiet and comfortable. Even on weekdays, the wait is about two hours and can reach four hours on holidays, but the doctors are always willing to answer my questions and the nurses are very kind, so I have remained positive about coming here. When it is crowded, seats are sometimes unavailable. It would be even better if the clinic provided more seating for people who feel unwell and more detailed explanations of test results. Despite a few issues, this is an excellent clinic overall, and I am sincerely glad I chose it. Thank you very much!
    Dec 25, 2025
    After two attempts with timed intercourse, I visited two gynecology clinics but still could not conceive. I therefore chose this specialist clinic because it was close to home. After two more cycles of timed intercourse and two artificial inseminations, I decided to proceed immediately with IVF. I became pregnant after the first egg retrieval and transfer. Six months after transferring to this clinic, I was pregnant again and have now successfully graduated. It is still early, but I hope the baby continues to grow safely and healthily. I was very anxious during egg retrieval, but the reassurance from the medical staff touched me deeply. After becoming pregnant, I experienced bleeding and called the front desk. They advised me to come at a quieter time so I would not have to wait long. The doctors explained everything patiently and thoroughly, so I did not feel anxious. They are direct and candid, so it is best to ask every question you have. Wait times vary depending on the day of the week, the progress of procedures that day, and the time of day, as they would at any hospital. The clinic is clean and comfortable. If I deliver safely and later consider a second child, I will use their services again.
    Dec 25, 2025
    This was my first time using this hospital. The doctors were highly professional and developed an appropriate treatment plan for my situation. The receptionists and staff were also very kind and willing to answer any questions. On weekdays, payment was efficient depending on the appointment time. The clinic is conveniently located near the station. Thank you very much!
    Jan 20, 2026
    I received a positive pregnancy result after my third transfer. My age may have been a factor, but after the first and second attempts, the clinic promptly investigated possible causes and wrote referrals so I could receive the tests I requested. Testing identified a recurrent pregnancy loss factor, and I conceived after undergoing the transfer while taking medication. From what I hear from patients at other clinics, failed transfers are often attributed to chromosomal abnormalities as the number of remaining transfer opportunities declines. I therefore recommend this hospital to anyone who values speed. However, as at most clinics, the wait can be long, so bring a book or something else to pass the time. I am deeply grateful to the director, Dr. Yamada, and the nurses. Even when busy, they listened sympathetically and made me feel confident entrusting my treatment to them. The reception staff are also very kind. I am glad I came here.
    Jan 19, 2026
    I became pregnant on my first IVF attempt. The doctors and nurses were very kind and patiently answered all my questions. When the wait was long, I was allowed to go out, which was very helpful.
    Jan 15, 2026
    Thanks to the warm, friendly reception staff and doctors, as well as the clear, smooth, and thoughtful guidance, I became pregnant. Thank you very much!
    Jan 14, 2026
    I received timed-intercourse treatment, AIH, and IVF at this clinic and became pregnant after my third transfer. Wait times are usually long. I think this clinic is best for patients who are willing to ask about anything they want to confirm or are concerned about. I still have frozen embryos, so although it is early, I would like to return here for my second child's embryo transfer.
    Jan 14, 2026
    I received infertility treatment while trying for my second child. The clinic is close to the station, convenient, and very clean. This time I underwent IVF and became pregnant on the first attempt. Thank you very much!
    Feb 9, 2026
    The doctor and I spent a day discussing the egg-retrieval date, but the hospital could not accommodate our preferred day, so we requested the day before. The doctor thoughtfully asked whether the timing worked, and I said I preferred the afternoon; they did move it earlier. On retrieval day, I checked in and the receptionist suddenly said in a harsh tone that they could not guarantee the time. I had not selfishly demanded an afternoon appointment, and I do not think the doctor left any written note. The receptionist did not know about our earlier conversation but treated me as though I were selfish. I visit the hospital 3 to 10 times each month for fertility treatment, and each visit takes two hours. Balancing work and treatment is difficult, but I persisted and now feel close to giving up.
    Feb 7, 2026
    Some reception staff are appallingly unprofessional. They talk among themselves while patients are checking in. They discuss matters they have not checked and pretend to understand, giving completely incorrect information. Worse, these discussions involve financial issues such as subsidies. When patients pay, they do not verify anything and give vague answers. Staff at this level should be dismissed immediately.
    Feb 3, 2026
    This is the worst hospital I have ever seen. I asked some insurance questions, and she told me to change hospitals. How can someone working in IVF not know about ovarian cysts?
    Feb 2, 2026
    I conceived successfully through timed ovulation and medication prescribed by the doctor. Because of my age and previous uterine problems, I had given up hope of pregnancy, but I decided to try this reputable hospital. The doctors were kind, and I felt reassured at every visit. I was able to approach trying to conceive with a positive outlook.
    Feb 2, 2026
    This December, I transferred my final blastocyst, which had been frozen two years earlier. Everything went smoothly, and I visited the clinic only three times for the transfer process. I am now safely approaching nine weeks! Everyone at the clinic—from the doctor, embryologist, and nurses to the receptionists—was very kind.
    Feb 27, 2026
    After trying to conceive for about a year and a half without success, I came here and became pregnant through timed intercourse on the second attempt. I had many concerns, but the doctor and staff always explained everything patiently and thoroughly, so I felt comfortable attending the clinic. The atmosphere is relaxed, questions are welcome, and I felt emotionally supported.
    Feb 27, 2026
    I started coming here when I began trying to conceive and received guidance on timed intercourse. I had been using ovulation tests at home, but it was reassuring to receive more professional guidance based on precise results from pelvic examinations and blood tests. The doctors and nurses were very kind, and hearing them say ‘Congratulations’ when I became pregnant was deeply reassuring. I chose this clinic based on its reputation and am glad I made the right choice. Thank you very much!
    Feb 21, 2026
    I particularly disliked one nurse and hoped not to encounter her when I visited. The receptionists always seemed busy and were not very welcoming. All the doctors are brief, so I recommend planning ahead to ensure you have time to ask about any questions or concerns. After three IUI cycles, I began IVF. After my third transfer, I miscarried after fetal cardiac activity had been confirmed. Chromosomal testing showed no abnormality, so I was referred to a hospital specializing in infertility because the cause was thought to be maternal. The hospital diagnosed a uterine anomaly, specifically a septate uterus, and recommended surgery, which I underwent. Dr. Hanaoka told me a uterine anomaly was likely but said not to worry. Honestly, I remained doubtful about Dr. Hanaoka from the preoperative period through recovery. After surgery, I was cleared for embryo transfer. Because I still had frozen eggs at Hanaoka Hospital, I returned there for the transfer. My pregnancy has progressed well so far, and I am very grateful. Thank you. My situation may be unusual, but if you are concerned, I recommend first visiting a hospital that can perform hysteroscopy.
    Feb 13, 2026
    I decided to attend after learning about the Tokyo Metropolitan Government subsidy program. Everything was new to me, but the doctor explained the process carefully, allowing me to undergo treatment with confidence. I am very grateful.
    Feb 13, 2026
    Although all the reviews are positive, it seems many were written because pregnant patients can receive a free referral letter. Please do not take them too seriously. Things were fine when I first started attending, but recently the clinic has become crowded with Chinese patients, and I have had to wait in line. Intermediaries and interpreters effectively double the number of people. While I was waiting for my transfer, I was told an emergency procedure would delay me by 30 minutes. As expected, the emergency patient was also Chinese. They said 30 minutes, but I waited in bed for an hour and a half. I decided not to return. You also cannot see the monitor during the transfer, so you have no way of knowing whether the embryo was actually placed correctly.
    Mar 23, 2026
    I was astonished by how little they shared about my test results. Since it was my first time, I asked a question, but the doctor acted as though explaining it was the staff’s job, and a staff member hurriedly answered me. After that, I felt unable to ask the doctor anything. I understand they prioritize efficiency because many people are waiting, but before I can ask questions, the doctor ends the visit as if everything has been covered, without explaining the numbers. They perform hormone blood tests but never tell me any values before scheduling timed intercourse or IUI. On several IUI days, I had been tracking my basal body temperature and wondered whether the timing was really appropriate because my temperature had already been elevated for two days. When I asked, they simply said they had not been told there would be bloodwork and assumed the procedure would proceed. For me, this was a crucial opportunity that comes only once a month, and the treatment is not inexpensive. It felt like throwing both the opportunity and money away. I learned how much distrust can grow when they do not provide specific values such as hormone levels, follicle size, or endometrial thickness. Perhaps I feel this way because I attended for a year without any results; the clinic may suit people who happened to conceive quickly. Also, the certificate for the infertility testing subsidy program costs 4,400 yen, which is expensive, and takes two months after the request.

    I visited about two other clinics, but their vague and uninspiring consultations left me anxious, so I came here on a friend’s recommendation. They clearly told me, “Natural conception and artificial insemination are almost 100% impossible,” which allowed me to move to IVF early. I tested positive on the second attempt. I wish I had come here from the beginning so I would not have wasted time.

    I previously received care at Hanaoka Women’s Clinic in Omori. Here, I completed four rounds of artificial insemination (AIH) and became pregnant on my second IVF attempt. As others have mentioned, the waiting times are quite long. However, there are cafés and restaurants in the clinic building, and you can leave temporarily, so the wait does not feel excessively long. The treatment plans and prescribed medications are not explained in much detail, so you need to ask proactively about anything that concerns you. If you ask, they are happy to answer. Treatment is fairly standardized, so it may not suit those who need close attention, but it is a good choice for people who want to trust the doctor’s plan completely and proceed efficiently. During treatment, the doctors and nurses gave me warm encouragement that was very comforting even in the hardest moments. Thank you very much.

    I received excellent care during my first pregnancy, and this time they transferred my final blastocyst and helped me conceive my second child. The clinic is conveniently located, and appointments are easy to schedule. The staff are always warm and friendly, making every visit relaxed and pleasant. I am deeply grateful for their care over the years.

    The first embryo transfer failed, but after retesting the embryo microbiome, we tried a second time and succeeded. I am very grateful for your attentive, personalized help! Thank you so much. (^_^)

    The examination was very thorough and effective. The hospital environment was also pleasant.

    I received treatment here and successfully conceived my first and second children. My first child was conceived on the first IVF attempt, and my second on the second IVF attempt. They offered a variety of examinations and treatments and seemed very experienced, which reassured me throughout treatment. Online scheduling and weekday appointments after work are also major advantages. Thank you so much!

    I began trying to conceive my second child naturally, but with a busy job, more than two and a half years passed before I realized it. I then visited this clinic. In the second week of timed intercourse, my pregnancy test was positive. I believe this was due to the medication the doctor prescribed and precise guidance on ovulation timing based on ultrasound and blood-test results. I am glad I chose this clinic. Thank you!

    I was able to conceive with my second IVF attempt! I am truly grateful to the doctor and all the staff. Thank you so much!

    This clinic's service is terrible. If you are considering them, I strongly advise against it. Go elsewhere if possible. They are unfriendly to first-time patients and treat you like someone on an assembly line. Update: They did not even assess whether my wife's medication was working, and the timing was completely wrong, so she made a wasted trip to the clinic. We felt we had wasted both money and time. Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

    The clinic is always quiet and clean, making every visit calm and relaxing. Consultations take place in private rooms, and every doctor and staff member is polite and attentive, repeatedly showing thoughtful care. If the clinic needs to change an appointment for its own reasons, it calls promptly and handles the matter efficiently. The only minor drawback is that one front desk staff member can occasionally seem somewhat cold. Overall, however, I consider this a trustworthy clinic where patients can confidently seek medical advice.

    I am so glad I came here! Treatment sometimes made me anxious or discouraged, but every follow-up visit left me refreshed and encouraged. I was diagnosed with difficulty conceiving naturally. I first tried IUI, but after two failures, I moved to IVF and became pregnant on the second attempt. I truly believe coming here was the right decision, and I hope to continue receiving care here until delivery!

    I previously attended Hanaoka Ladies Clinic in Omori, then transferred here for treatment of secondary infertility. I was anxious and worried because I could not become pregnant, but I was very grateful for the nurses' attentive care. Although the doctors and reception staff appeared busy, they always answered my questions patiently, allowing me to attend appointments with confidence. I am grateful to everyone at the clinic. Thank you very much!

    I began intrauterine insemination as soon as we started trying to conceive. It was my first fertility journey and I felt anxious, but the doctors and staff gave clear explanations, allowing me to proceed with confidence. After advancing treatment, I conceived on my second IVF cycle. I am very grateful. The clinic is conveniently located, clean, and calm. Thank you for taking care of me.

    I underwent IVF at this clinic and had a positive result. However, because this was my first pregnancy, I raised concerns at the subsequent ultrasound, but they were completely ignored during the examination, which lasted only about a minute. After paying so much, this level of service was unacceptable. Even at 7 weeks, no fetal heartbeat was detected. Just as I was ready to give up, they prescribed another week of medication, costing 33000 yen. If it still did not work, I only wanted to stop. They did not explain why we needed to wait another week. The doctor only said, ‘We will do our best.’ I was angry and wondered, ‘What else can I do now?’ I think busy people should avoid this clinic. Even after a positive result, they treat you as a pregnant patient, but the last weekday appointment is at 4:30 p.m. They do not accept weekend appointments or see patients after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. I was tired of repeatedly leaving work early. Once, when I called to ask whether I could come after 5 p.m., they essentially said, ‘We are not responsible if anything happens to a pregnant patient.’ When I was worried about bleeding, they said they could not see me unless I arrived before 4 p.m. This made me fear what would happen if the bleeding led to miscarriage. They showed no consideration and would not accommodate my egg retrieval or embryo transfer schedule. I do not understand why this clinic has such high ratings.

    I am writing this in hopes of helping women considering or undergoing IVF treatment. I began visiting Hanaoka IVF Clinic this February. During a previous consultation in Omori, a doctor recommended that I try to conceive soon, said IVF was appropriate, and referred me here. Because it was my first IVF experience, I was very anxious, but all the nurses and doctors except one receptionist were wonderful. I did not want to begin IVF immediately, so after discussing it with my husband, we decided to try intrauterine insemination first. My husband had a semen analysis and a self-paid sperm motility test, and the doctor said the result was about 80%, which reassured me. However, the semen analysis for the first insemination was not very good. My husband was nervous, and we prepared ourselves for failure. At the consultation, the doctor said, ‘The result is low...it may be male-factor infertility. IVF would be better!’ I was confused. We had only just begun insemination, and they were already discussing IVF. I assumed the treatment plan would largely follow the doctor's recommendations, but the doctor clearly wanted IVF from the beginning. The first attempt failed. I considered IVF, but I knew a friend who became pregnant after several inseminations. At the next appointment, I said I wanted to try insemination again. The doctor seemed distracted, and the consultation ended quickly. The nurse beside him was also rushing him to finish, leaving no time for my questions. The doctor did not explain my blood test results in detail; I felt he would say nothing unless I asked. As a patient, I invested enormous physical and emotional effort and deeply wanted to become pregnant. I wish they would be more patient-centered and give each patient appropriate explanations and treatment plans. Also, all receptionists except one very stern-looking person were friendly. When I asked to leave, that person coldly said, ‘Show me your patient card!’ I do not think she is suited to reception work. Although many patients may be regulars, I wrote this review to express my sincere hope that they improve.

    The doctors and staff were very warm and friendly, creating a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. I was fortunate to become pregnant soon after my visit and would definitely return if needed!
    May 16, 2026
    I was very dissatisfied with the receptionist's attitude. She could not answer my question, but instead of simply saying, ‘I don't know’ or ‘I will ask a nurse,’ she seemed to try to handle everything herself. As a result, her manner became arrogant and rude, which was very disappointing.

    护士和工作人员都非常友善，我感激不尽。 我的AMH值低于同龄人的正常水平，我原本做好了多次取卵的准备，但没想到只取卵一次就成功怀孕了，我真是太感谢了。谢谢！

    距离我们去年夏天的初次咨询已经过去一年了。诊所从指导我们进行定时性生活开始，尊重我们夫妻双方的意见，并根据我们的情况提出了各种检查和治疗方案。幸运的是，我们第一次试管婴儿就成功怀孕了，我和丈夫都欣喜若狂，如释重负。现在我们将进入下一个阶段，我们会珍惜彼此，用爱养育我们的孩子。在开始不孕不育治疗之前，我们还有些犹豫，但现在我们意识到，寻求医疗帮助绝非坏事。我们非常感谢诊所的所有工作人员，包括医生、护士和接待员。如果有人正在为不孕不育而苦恼，我一定会推荐这家诊所。

    这家诊所致力于减轻患者的负担，例如根据患者的流产经历，立即将其转诊至其他检查机构。 我在转诊中心被诊断为复发性流产。由于需要兼顾工作和前往其他诊所，身体非常吃力，但医生们坦诚而乐观的态度让我能够积极面对。 尤其是那位男医生，他总是那么开朗乐观，每次就诊都让我心情愉悦。 所有的护士也都非常友善，待人亲切。即使我在诊室里忘记问医生，她们也会事后细心地询问，这让我感到很安心。 这家诊所很受欢迎，所以可能需要长时间等待。建议您提前安排好预约时间，以免之后有其他安排。 然而，长时间的等待也证明了他们的良好口碑和可靠性，因此，相比那些无需等待的医院，我更愿意将自己的身体托付给他们。 我的治疗即将结束，我衷心感谢医生和所有工作人员。非常感谢。

    从人工授精过渡到体外受精时，他们尊重了我的意愿。医院的氛围很平静。电话客服也很礼貌，让人感到安心。治疗期间难免会感到焦虑，但想到还有那么多其他患者也和我一样渴望拥有孩子，并且正在努力接受治疗，就给了我莫大的勇气。我无法一一感谢所有人，所以想借此机会向大家表达我最真挚的谢意！

    我在这里接受了大约一年的治疗，并在第三次胚胎移植后成功怀孕。我来这里是因为之前的生育治疗并不顺利，但他们高效地提出了各种建议，帮助我继续前进，这对我来说非常有帮助，因为我当时很焦虑！ 即使治疗没有成功，他们也会和我讨论各种检查，帮助我找出原因，并鼓励我尝试一切可能的办法。 非常感谢！

    周六人很多，但工作日咨询进行得很快，后续步骤也会解释得很清楚。取卵时我打了麻药，所以并不害怕疼痛。很高兴第一次胚胎移植也很顺利。

    事務的。人としてどうかと思う。 保険適応のルール変更があり更新期限が1年から１ヶ月に変更。変更の連絡はメールのみで何がどう変わったから変更になるのかの説明すら無い。 訪問で話をしにきても医者は出てこず培養師が変更になったから仕方がないの一点張り。挙句には更新に必要な用紙について電話で必要なものを確認したときにには言われずホームページに載ってるでしょうとのことでダウンロードしてこない奴が悪いみたいな扱い。説明を求めているのに長くならなら別で予約を取ってくれと言われて追い出された 技術面をどうこういうつもりはないが、病院、人として最低。
    Jun 25, 2026
    我在诊所接受了一年半的治疗，并在第二次试管婴儿治疗后顺利出院。非常感谢！诊所非常灵活，在安排预约时会考虑到我的实际情况，例如出差。需要注意的是，即使您准时到达，也可能需要等待一个多小时。护士们抽血速度很快，而且都很友善，所以即使我忘记问医生问题，之后也很容易找到答案。

    他们似乎会考虑我的年龄和病史，并针对每种情况提供最佳指导。 前两次胚胎移植失败后，他们把我转诊到一家专门治疗复发性流产和着床失败的诊所。经过检查，医生给我开了阿司匹林，第三次移植后我就成功怀孕了。 诊所很干净，医生、护士和接待人员都很友善。 他们会询问我是否有任何疑问，这让我很容易就能问出任何我不确定的问题。 等待时间相对较长，但可以中途离开，而且附近有很多商店，所以不会太无聊。
