Dr. Saemi Takashina

About

Dr. Saemi Takashina is an adjunct physician at Kato Ladies Clinic (KLC) in Shinjuku, Tokyo, who joined the clinic’s natural-cycle and minimal-stimulation IVF team in 2026. She represents the latest cohort of KLC physicians recruited from the broader Tokyo obstetrics and gynecology hospital network.

After graduating from the University of Tsukuba School of Medicine in 2019, a national university known for rigorous basic-clinical integration, she trained at Saiseikai Kawaguchi General Hospital, then moved through Showa University Hospital, the Comprehensive Maternal and Child Health Center Aikido Hospital, Ibaraki Prefectural Central Hospital, Makita Memorial Hospital and Showa University Koto Toyosu Hospital between 2021 and 2023.

That circuit covered general gynecology, maternal care and fertility in both university and community hospital settings before she concentrated on ART. As a younger female physician, Dr. Takashina emphasizes listening to patients’ concerns and explains treatment options clearly, in keeping with KLC’s philosophy of gentler, more natural care. Consultations are conducted in Japanese.

Clinical Expertise

• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): support of natural-cycle and mild-stimulation protocols from monitoring through egg retrieval and embryo transfer
• Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): microscopic fertilization for male-factor infertility and previous fertilization failure
• Female infertility evaluation: assessment of ovulation disorders, endometriosis and tubal factors
• Reproductive medicine care: cycle-by-cycle treatment planning within KLC’s 365-day clinic system

Why Choose Dr. Saemi Takashina

Dr. Takashina trained across five different hospital types, including a leading maternal and child health center (Aikido Hospital) and a Showa University network hospital, so her clinical judgment reflects how infertility intersects with pregnancy care generally, not just laboratory technique.

She holds the JSOG Board-Certified Specialist qualification early in her career, and her practice at KLC sits fully inside the clinic’s mild-stimulation program, the approach designed to minimize medication burden on the patient’s body.

Patients who find large clinics intimidating often prefer consulting a younger physician with time and attention to spare; her recruitment year gives her direct availability on KLC’s current schedules.
