Ando Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine Clinic is the only private practice in Japan that specializes in Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine. Bilingual in Japanese and English, clinical director Dr. Akihiro Ando is just one of six Diplomates of ABOP (American Board of Orofacial Pain) practicing in Japan. He is fully dedicated in alleviating pain that other clinics were not able to diagnose and treat. Conveniently located on the 2nd floor of the A1 exit of Jinbocho station, the clinic opened in May 2015 at Kanda Jinbocho in Chiyoda Ward. Health insurance (including National Health Insurance and Employees' Health Insurance) is not accepted, as Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine are specialized fields.
The logo of the clinic is Epione, the Greek goddess of soothing pain. She was the mother of Panacea, the goddess of medicine, and Hygieia, the goddess of health. Our logo depicts Epione placing her hand near her face and jaw, indicating that we focus on soothing pain in these areas. It also looks as though she is placing her palm behind her ear, illustrating that we always listen to our patients and never neglect their complaints. This logo was created by Mr. and Mrs. Hayashi of Hayashi Design Office, who also created the logo for Dr. Ando's father's dental clinic.
