Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Tokyo if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Yes, there are a good number of medical specialists in Tokyo. People seeking highly specialized medical care often go to renowned hospitals and medical centers in the city. Some of these institutions include the University of Tokyo Hospital, Keio University Hospital, and St. Luke's International Hospital. These hospitals are known for their advanced medical facilities, cutting-edge research, and experienced medical professionals who specialize in various fields such as oncology, cardiology, neurology, and orthopedics, among others. Additionally, there are numerous specialized clinics throughout Tokyo that cater to specific medical needs, ensuring that patients have access to the best possible care," said another expat in Tokyo, Japan.
"Expats likely go anywhere that has English speakers. Healthcare is good here. People only have to pay 30% of reasonable costs for anything covered. Unfortunately, the public healthcare here does not cover anything preventative. Since I still have active health insurance in America, I have visited there to get a child prevention measure done - completely covered," wrote a member who made the move to Tokyo, Japan.
