FAQs

Are your providers American-trained?

Yes. All of our physicians are U.S.-trained, bringing the American standard of care to Japan. We combine this with bilingual staff to make sure care is clear and accessible. Documents, receipts, invoices and all communication is in English.

What services do you offer?

We cover nearly the full spectrum of care:

Primary Care for adults and children (check-ups, screenings, chronic conditions, vaccinations)

Psychiatry & Behavioral Health (depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, addiction, chronic pain)

Reproductive Health (family planning, menopause, erectile dysfunction)

Minor Procedures (joint injections, cryotherapy, shave biopsy)

Specialty Care (gender-affirming care, PrEP/PEP, dermatology)

On-site medications and electronic prescriptions to U.S. military pharmacies or Express Scripts

Do you coordinate care with other providers?

Yes. We work closely with Japanese specialists, U.S. base facilities, and U.S.-based providers as needed. This helps ensure your care is seamless and easy to navigate wherever you are.

Do you follow U.S. standards of care?

Absolutely. At Torii Health, our model is rooted in American family medicine — coordinated, comprehensive, and evidence-based. All of our providers are U.S.-trained and licensed, and we practice using the same clinical guidelines and protocols you’d expect back home in the States.

What this means for you:

Comprehensive Services: We care for the whole family — pediatrics, adult medicine, women’s health, psychiatry, procedures, and lifestyle medicine — under one roof.

Evidence-Based Medicine: Our diagnosis and treatment decisions follow U.S. guidelines, ensuring up-to-date, scientifically supported care.

Continuity & Coordination: We track your labs, medications, and preventive screenings, and coordinate seamlessly with Japanese specialists, U.S. military base providers, and U.S.-based doctors when needed.

Patient-Centered Communication: You get full access to your medical records and billing in English through our secure portal, plus ongoing communication with your care team between visits.

In short, we’ve brought the American standard of care to Japan — making your healthcare feel familiar, consistent, and reliable, no matter where you or your family are coming from.

Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.) for weight loss?

Yes. We prescribe GLP-1 medications when clinically appropriate and support you holistically in your weight loss journey. These medications may require prior authorization with your insurance. We stock GLP-1s available in Japan (injection and pills) on-site and can also send prescriptions to U.S. military pharmacies (MTFs) or Express Scripts if necessary. If your insurance doesn’t cover them, we’ll work with you to find the most cost-effective option.

Can I get testosterone therapy through Torii Health?

At this time, we do not directly prescribe testosterone in Japan. However, we provide lab monitoring and clinical follow-up for patients on testosterone therapy and coordinate care with U.S.-based prescribers when needed. Our goal is to ensure safe, continuous management of your treatment while you’re overseas.

Do you treat ADHD?

Yes. We diagnose and manage ADHD in both children and adults. Treatment plans may include behavioral strategies as well as medications (such as stimulants or non-stimulants like atomoxetine). Please note that stimulant medications are strictly regulated in Japan and cannot be prescribed locally. However, we can prescribe non-stimulant options in Japan and, when possible, coordinate stimulant prescriptions through U.S. military providers.

What kinds of preventive screenings are available at Torii Health?

We provide a full range of preventive and early-detection screenings, following U.S. guidelines for health maintenance. These include:

Colonoscopy – with sedation, for colorectal cancer prevention

EGD (upper endoscopy) – with sedation, for evaluation of reflux, ulcers, and GI cancer risk

Mammogram – for breast cancer screening

Low-dose CT scan of the lungs – for patients at risk of lung cancer

Home sleep studies – convenient testing for sleep apnea and snoring concerns

Pulmonary function testing (PFTs) – to assess asthma, COPD, and lung health

Diagnostic imaging – including X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound when clinically indicated

All screenings are coordinated through our team — we arrange the testing, explain the results, and help plan any necessary follow-up care.
