JAPAN:
THYROID TOP DOCTORS DIRECTORY
The following listing includes recommended doctors and practitioners for your thyroid care. Please note that being listed here in the Thyroid Top Doctors Directory doesn't necessarily mean a doctor is the right one for you. The doctor may be an empathetic and warm physician, but not open to working with drugs like Armour or T3 drugs. The doctor may be brilliant and innovative, but have a terrible bedside manner. Or the doctor may be quite costly and not on insurance programs. Always call the doctor's office ahead of time to find out more about the doctor's philosophy, approach, costs, and other important factors before going in for your first appointment. Please let me know if you have feedback -- positive or negative -- about doctors listed here, or would like to recommend your "top" doctor.
Thanks! -- Mary

Why is a Particular Doctor No Longer Listed?
Doctors who were previously listed here are removed for a number of reasons.
* The doctor has requested that his/her listings be removed because: he/she does not agree with this site’s philosophy or patient-orientation; the practice is too busy and can’t accept new patients; the doctor does not feel comfortable handling complicated thyroid problems; the doctor did not agree with what was said in the patient recommendations; or the doctor said “take me off the list” and offered no explanation.
* The doctor has moved, retired, or died.
* The doctor has lost his/her license, or given up his/her license, and is no longer practicing medicine.
* Patients have provided negative input about the doctor that is of sufficient concern that, in the opinion of the editor, the doctor should no longer be on the Top Thyroid Doctors List.
* Thyroid Top Doctors would face legal concerns if we published specific information about why patients had negative opinions about doctors, or if we shared a doctor’s occasional ranting ”take me off” email, or if we publicized doctors with licensing problems. So please, if you see that a doctor has been taken off the list and want to know why, talk to the doctor directly. If you write to us to ask why a doctor was taken off the list, we’re sorry, but we won’t be able to answer you or share that information.

Harajuku
Yo Kunii, Endocrinology, Ito Hospital, Japan, 03-3402-7411,
www.ito-hospital.jp. A reader writes: "Mrs. Kunii is excellent and up to date on medications for
hypothyrodism by Graves or Hashimotos or other ways. She listens to symptoms and patients
recommendations and makes some of her own. Chirajin is usually prescribed and it is made from the
glads of pigs so like Armour. If you are in Japan and need a doctor who speaks English and is
compassionate. Not all the doctors at this hospital are like her, so if you want a doctor that listens and
is open be sure to ask for her by name. She is the best!" (Added 6/05)
Another reader writes:
"She is open to discussion of meds for hypothyroidism. She is caring and compassionate. She is interested
in new research, new books and new information about thyroid disease. She will prescribe the meds that
you need based not only on your labs numbers but also on how you feel. This hospital has many doctors
and all of them are not so open minded. If you need a doctor who speaks English and is up on thyroid
disease and you are in Japan, try her."

Tokyo
Dr. Daryn Peterson, Holistic Medicine, Tokyo, Japan, Fax: 81-3-3827-6714,
Email: doctorpeterson@hotmail.com, "Dr. Peterson has almost totally cured my colon cancer after 19
months of treatment. The hospital sent me home after telling me I had 12 months to live at most, but Dr.
Peterson, 19 months later, saved my life." (Added Dec. 04)
