Doctor's Profiles

Message from Dr. Jo Kitawaki

Dr. Jo Kitawaki

After completing my tenure at the university hospital, I am honored to work under Chairman Nakamura of the Oak Clinic, who is both my junior colleague from the medical department and someone I deeply respect.

Since becoming an obstetrician and gynecologist, I have specialized in the study of female hormones and have been dedicated to reproductive medicine and women's healthcare. I have made numerous presentations, particularly in the basic research and clinical treatment of endometriosis.

Although the number of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cases I have handled does not compare to those at specialized infertility clinics, I have been continuously involved in this practice for nearly 40 years. Additionally, I have performed numerous laparoscopic surgeries and falloposcopic tuboplasty (FT) procedures. Currently, I am also performing hysteroscopic surgeries (resectoscopy).

The field of reproductive medicine is advancing rapidly. At the same time, there are still "refractory infertility" cases for which effective treatments have yet to be established. Our clinic always keeps an eye on cutting-edge medical technologies.

By actively incorporating these advances and leveraging my experience, I hope to provide treatments that are compassionate and patient-centered.
