  • About

    My main clinical practice at Livonia Health Center is a full spectrum outpatient family medicine as well as a procedure clinic, as I was a board eligible plastic surgeon in Japan in the past. Majority of my patients are Japanese speaking. I serve as the director of Japanese Family Health Program.

    I perform skin surgeries, wound care, and gynecological procedures such as colposcopy, IUD placement, hormonal implant placement, and endometrial biopsy in the procedure clinic.
    I practice inpatient obstetrics and newborn care and serve as the chief of Family Medicine Obstetric Newborn Service.
    I care for patients with chronic skin ulcers at the Comprehensive Wound Care Clinic once or twice a week. I also supervise hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
