[MCI and Dementia Clinic]
We provide treatment with anti-amyloid beta antibody therapies for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease.

[Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis]
Our department plays a leading role in the development of treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

We provide highly specialized care for dystonia and movement disorders, with extensive expertise in dystonia treatment.

[Neuroimmunology Clinic]
Neuroimmunological diseases can cause a wide range of symptoms, and their diagnosis and treatment have become increasingly specialized.

Pediatric Dentistry Treatment of dental caries, dental treatment for sleep apnoea, treatment of malocclusion. None In the field of dental treatment for paediatric sleep apnoea, drawing on my experience as a visiting researcher at Stanford University—a leading centre for sleep research—we use fluid dynamics analysis to simulate and evaluate respiratory conditions based on CT data. We apply the same simulation methods to diagnose the condition and predict post-operative outcomes, thereby enabling us to provide highly predictable treatment.
