Hello. This is Dr. AKIKO SHIROSHITA, MD, PhD, a director of SHIROSHITA CLINIC. I have been working as a specialist in the areas of internal medicine, cardiology, and emergency medicine at Keio University Hospital and its related institutes for 20 years. Now we have opened a new clinic at Higashiminemachi, Ota-ku on February 1st, 2013.

As a physician as well as a cardiologist, I hope to supply you a high quality medical service with an easy access. Especially, I have been long working in the area of arrhythmia; in other words, abnormal heart beat, in both clinical practice and basic research at Keio University Hospital and Montreal Heart Institute. If you have any symptoms such as palpitation, chest pain, etc…, please feel free to contact us. Our staff is available in English. I myself am available both in English and French.
