About
Dr. Hiroko Harada graduated from Nippon Medical School in 2009 and built her clinical experience across three very different settings: the university hospital, St. Luke’s International Hospital — one of Tokyo’s oldest Western-style general hospitals — and Shinjuku ART Clinic, a dedicated IVF practice, before joining Sugiyama Ob-Gyn Clinic Shinjuku in 2023. She has 17 years’ experience as a physician and 10 years in reproductive medicine.
She is a JSOG board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, a Reproductive Medicine Specialist of the Japan Society for Reproductive Medicine, holds the perinatal genetics certification of the Japan Society of Obstetric and Gynecologic Genetics, and earned her PhD in Medicine. Her specialty areas are ovulation induction, low AMH, recurrent implantation failure, chronic endometritis and PGT-A.
Clinical Expertise
- Ovulation induction and individualized stimulation
- Low AMH / diminished ovarian reserve counseling
- Recurrent implantation failure work-up

Why Choose Dr. Hiroko Harada
Dr. Harada is one of the clinic’s most experienced female reproductive-medicine specialists in day-to-day IVF practice, and her path through general hospital and ART-clinic environments means she has seen both the gynecological and the laboratory side of treatment. Her stated philosophy is balancing speed with thoroughness according to how each visit is going: patients who are early in treatment, undecided, or carrying anxiety about past failures get the time to talk it through, while she keeps the medical plan moving. Her perinatal genetics credential adds a layer few fertility physicians offer — informed guidance on hereditary risk and PGT-A decision-making.
