We accept patients referred to us from these local hospitals and clinics. Similarly, once a patient is in recovery and requires less specialized care, we refer them back to their  local hospitals and clinics. This collaborative approach, through both referrals and reverse referrals, allows us to ensure patients receive the most appropriate level of care at the right time. This system also allows both our hospital and local hospitals and clinics to operate efficiently and effectively within our respective roles. Therefore, we kindly request that patients bring a referral letter from their doctor. A referral letter provides essential medical information, such as medical history, current medications, and treatment progress, enabling us to begin treatment more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consultation Procedure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vk-blocks-spacer vk_spacer vk_spacer-type-margin-top\"><div class=\"vk_block-margin-md--margin-top\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/hospital.dent.osaka-u.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0000043515.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">0000043515<\/a>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vk-blocks-spacer vk_spacer vk_spacer-type-margin-top\"><div class=\"vk_block-margin-md--margin-top\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vk-blocks-border-box vk_borderBox vk_borderBox-background-transparent has-text-color has-vk-color-primary-color is-style-vk_borderBox-style-solid-kado-tit-onborder\"><div class=\"vk_borderBox_title_container\"><i class=\"u003ci class=u0022fa-solid fa-circle-exclamationu0022u003eu003c\/iu003e\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><h4 class=\"vk_borderBox_title\">Notice <\/h4><\/div><div class=\"vk_borderBox_body\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Please bring your insurance card.
