Nagai Shinai
Medical Care Options
In and Near-to Nagai
Okitama General Hospital
A larger outpatient facility and general hospital. This may be considered the "main" hospital in the area. They have an ER as well, so if you break your leg, this is probably where you will end up. Quite a nice little hospital, with a Dotour in the lobby.

Umetsu
Local Clinic
Umetsu is a small but very useful medical clinic in Nagai. The nurses and doctors here can provide covid testing, flu testing, and basic medical tests. Often, this involves the nurses treating you directly in your car from the parking lot (to avoid contracting viruses themselves). One of the nurses here speaks English.

Dentist (にれの木歯科医院)
Dentist
This dental clinic is a bit far from Nagai, in the nearby city of Yamagata. However, the care provided there is very high quality, and the dentist himself speaks excellent English. Some of the nurses do as well. This makes it a relatively comfortable experience for foreigners.

Sato Hospital
Located in the nearby city of Nanyo, Sato hospital is a good place to go for mental health issues.

ear-throat-nose
Another good Ear-throat-nose doctor. Further out than the Nagai clinic, but the doctor here actually speaks some English.
0238438733
Yamagata Fujinka
Women's Clinic
This clinic is a bit of a drive, as it is in nearby Yamagata city. However, it comes highly recommended from ALTs who have had women's issues and needed a gynecologist. As it is women's-only, you must ask permission ahead of time to bring a man with you.

Satoko Clinic
Another women's issues clinic. This one has bad reviews because the reservation system is difficult to navigate. But it's easier to access for urgent issues, and the doctor here speaks a little bit of English. It is also LQBTQ friendly.
