The Bad

Please try to keep bad reviews civil.

• Dr. Ishikura, Norio at Tōyama Hospital (遠山病院) - Tsu (Shinmachi)

  He has a history of enthusiastic ALT chest grabbing and fondling -- avoid if female.

• Dr. Saeki at the Saeki Clinic - Kameyama

  "the doctor is very unprofessional, he didn't even use rubbing alcohol to disinfect before performing a procedure that involved some tissue damage (cutting an ingrown toenail for those who want the gory details). He also informed me that I have to come for a checkup every day and that I shouldn't go to another clinic until he says it's ok."
