How to make an appointment

At Mitsui Memorial Hospital, we have a consultation appointment system. Anyone wishing to consult a doctor strongly recommend first obtain a referral letter from another medical facility. An appointment must be made at the Appointment Center in advance of the patient's visit to the hospital.

The initial consultation

Mitsui Memorial Hospital maintains a smoothly operating consultation appointment system, and in order that we can offer advanced, state-of-the-art medical services to a large number of patients, each patient is requested to bring a referral letter from another medical institution.

Anyone who does not bring a referral letter can be seen by a doctor, but a person who has neither a referral letter nor an appointment when visiting the hospital may have to wait for a few hours before a doctor is available for a consultation. A patient who arrives without a referral letter must pay, in compliance with the special treatment payment system, a special charge of ¥5400 in addition to the initial consultation fee.

If you bring a letter of referral from your regular doctor, as long as that doctor practices in the vicinity of this hospital, you can have your symptoms and test results assessed by one of our doctors. By bringing a referral letter to this hospital, you can avoid the burden of treatment costs not covered by insurance, and lighten both that of extra medical expenses arising from the repetition of tests and that placed on your own body by these tests.

Telephone Appointment Center

If you wish to be examined and treated at Mitsui Memorial Hospital, please have your referral letter (with your treatment history form) with you and call our Appointment Center on 0120-863-212 (free of charge) or on 03-3862-9207 to make your appointment. When you call, we will check that you have a referral letter.

If you do not have a referral letter, or if you visit this hospital without an appointment, please understand that you may have to wait for a number of hours for a doctor to see you.
