Japanese Speaking Doctors
May 2003
We will be moving to the Albany village this summer. My wife's
first language is Japanese and we are looking for a Japanese-
speaking pediatrician and OBGYN. Any positive recommendations
will be greatly appreciated. Additionally, if anyone knows of
any web pages or groups devoted to Japanese living in the Bay
area or connected to the university please let us know.
Many thanks.

At Albany Family Practice (Alta Bates medical group), there is
a Japanese speaking doctor. Her name is Dr. Mamiko Kawai. She
is a family doctor but I heard that some Japanese speaking moms
use her as ped. too. I am not sure about ob/gyn. I am sure she
can refer you to one. Her number is 510-524-1580. It is located
on San Pablo. Good Luck
If you need any support I'd be happy to be one. I have 8 months
old baby as well!!

Try Dr. Mika Hiramatsu for a pediatrician. The only thing is
she is in Castro Valley. She is an awesome pediatrician. If
she doesn't speak Japanese or doesn't speak it well enough she
may be able to recommend someone in Albany.

Hi there! Welcome to the bay area. I am sure you will receive
some responses if not many since there are many Japanese moms in
this area. Unfortunately, I can't give you any recommendations
on your main question. But, there is a Japanese web site sort of
like Craigslist. It is called Japanese IN America (JINA).
