About
Dr. Hiroshi Fukumasu trained at Shiga University of Medical Science and earned a Doctor of Medicine degree from Osaka City University. Before joining Medical Corporation Oak in 2015, he worked across Osaka’s public hospital system — Osaka City University Hospital, Osaka City Sumiyoshi Citizen’s Hospital and Osaka City Children’s Hospital (Medical Center) — accumulating experience that spans general obstetrics, perinatal medicine and fetal imaging.
His clinical focus is fetal diagnosis: the use of detailed ultrasound (fetography) to assess the unborn baby before birth. His published work includes studies on amniotic fluid volume abnormalities and “the significance of fetography in prenatal diagnosis” (source: official clinic staff profile).
At Oak Clinic Sumiyoshi — the group’s branch with obstetric inpatient facilities — he provides continuity between fertility treatment and early pregnancy surveillance, a particularly valuable path for patients who conceive through IVF later in life.
Clinical Expertise
- Fetal diagnosis and prenatal ultrasound: specialist-level assessment of fetal structure and wellbeing, including fetography
- IVF and infertility treatment: standard fertility care within the Oak Clinic reproductive program
- Perinatal medicine: management planning for pregnancies with prior fetal abnormality findings or high-risk history
- Human genetics consultation interface: applying genetics society experience to prenatal counseling situations
Why Choose Dr. Hiroshi Fukumasu
Few fertility-clinic physicians combine an active fetal diagnosis practice with a Doctor of Medicine degree and cross-society credentials spanning perinatal, neonatal, human genetics, implantation and fetal cardiology groups. For IVF patients, that means early-pregnancy questions and scan findings can be interpreted by the same specialist network that managed the conception attempt, rather than starting over with a new provider.
