| Dear Patients and Friends,
I'd
like to welcome you to Nihon Clinic, an integrated multi-specialty
clinic established to meet the medical needs of Japanese people
working and living in the United States.
I was born and raised in Japan, where I attended
St. Mary's International School, a Canadian Catholic school in Tokyo,
Japan. Because I traveled extensively in my youth, I grew up speaking
English, Japanese, and Chinese, which helps me immensely to understand
and communicate with people from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
I graduated from the University Of Illinois Abraham
Lincoln College Of Medicine in 1980, and when I started work as
a medical doctor at a major Chicago hospital, I became aware that
Japanese expatriates in Illinois were not receiving adequate medical
care because of language and cultural barriers. In order to rectify
the situation, I opened the first clinic in Chicago in 1986 to meet
the special needs of the area's Japanese expatriate community.
Nihon Clinic has created a network of clinics in
the U.S. and has expanded into Asia, so that we can provide better
service to our patients.
Currently,
Nihon Clinic has branches in many U.S. locations readily accessible
to Japanese expatriates. All locations provide patients with meticulous,
comprehensive medical services. Our professional staff is able to
address all of the patient’s medical needs and help each patient
remain healthy while living abroad. Nihon Clinic's highly trained
medical and professional personnel are committed to your health
and well-being. Our patients enjoy state-of-the-art medical care
in a patient-friendly setting.
Nihon Clinic provides a wide range of medical services,
including: family practice, internal medicine, orthopedics, physical
therapy, dermatology, pediatrics, radiology, chiropractic, dentistry
and podiatry. We integrate these Western medical services with Eastern
traditional medicine such as: acupuncture, qi gong, and herbal medicine.
Furthermore, as part of our emphasis on preventive health care,
we offer Japanese style comprehensive physical checkups.
If you'd like to know more about Nihon Clinic and
its services, please feel free to contact our staff at any of our
locations in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, or San Diego.
With best regards,
James H. Chow, M.D.
CEO/Executive Director
