Recently, they have announced the forthcoming appointment of Dr. Ryoichi Sakoda as the new director starting April 1, 2025. This change reflects the clinic's commitment to providing a patient-centered approach, particularly in men’s healthcare.

Under his guidance, the clinic aims to maintain its mission of becoming a reliable healthcare provider for men, allowing them to address their concerns in a comfortable and secure environment.
