I am not sure of your situation, but are you only requesting tests ？
In my case, my primary care physician diagnosed me as infertile based on the definition of infertility （ I did not have blood tests ） and was referred to a fertility specialist, Dr. Fertility Institute of Hawaii （ FIH ） referred me to Dr. Frattarelli.
After the referral, we performed various fertility tests at FIH.
The infertility tests at FIH are on their website.

（ My coordinator was not Japanese, but ） Fertility Institute of Hawaii had a Japanese IVF coordinator, so you may want to ask if they still have a Japanese coordinator.
They also have a page for Japanese.

Hi
I would recommend Fertility Institute of Hawaii.
The doctor is really GOD HAND.
I spent 6 years in Japan and 3 years in another clinic in Hawaii,
repeating from timing method to IVF several times
I spent enough money to buy one luxury car with cash.

Then I heard that someone I knew at Fertility Institute of Hawaii had IVF and her first baby at age 43, so I transferred.
After 10 years of various treatments, I was able to conceive and give birth at Fertility Institute of Hawaii in one session.
His god hands are famous and his culturist, lab, and other facilities
are just not on the same level as others.

We have assistants who can speak Japanese ？ and nurses ？ who are always with us
and translate for us.
If you are serious about pregnancy and childbirth, I really recommend it.

I don't know if this is helpful, but here is my experience. In my case, there was no fertility test. Maybe I could have had such a test if I had wanted to, but I was just before 40 years of age, so I felt like I was going to try anyway rather than have a test.
Kapiolani Hospital is free of charge, and if you ask for an interpreter when you make an appointment, they will accompany you. I had to go to Kapiolani Hospital twice when I had an examination at a place other than the fertility doctor's office, and the doctor asked me to go there even though I didn't ask him. I was taken care of twice, once by a Japanese person and once by a non-Japanese person who could speak Japanese. The interpreter told me that he would come free of charge if I wanted.
At Kapiolani Hospital, Dr. Kosaka and Dr. Dominguez are famous, and I was taken care of by Dr. Kosaka. He is a pioneer of fertility treatment in Hawaii, but he is quite old. He doesn't seem to be planning to retire yet, but it makes me worry. He is always smiling, but he doesn't talk much and works fast, so the waiting time for appointments is usually short. Also, she never says anything negative or that makes me anxious.
I have heard that Dr.Domingues is a woman and she is very thorough in explaining detailed questions. But I didn't change from Dr.Kosaka because I thought I would change from Dr.Kosaka and when I went to the office appointment it was closed and I distrusted her.
I don't know about other fertility doctors.

In my case, I think my infertility was due to my advanced age and overworking. I was given the baby when I thought I had no choice but to give up because of my age.
I don't think you can get a baby because of this doctor. I think it is important to be able to go to the clinic without any difficulty and to be able to relax. May your wish come true.

Thank you all so much for your detailed comments.
Also, I apologize for not being able to reply to you by the end of yesterday.

#2 Dear IVF birth,
For now, I am hoping to just have a test and depending on that test, I will rethink whether or not to do treatment.
I had never heard of anyone who had undergone FIH, so I am very grateful for that, and thank you for taking the time to post your website. ！
I will try to contact Japanese staffs from the Japanese page that you told me about ！

#3 Thank you Suna,
for sharing your precious experience with me. My sister is currently in Japan for 3 years for fertility treatment, and she told me that it is getting harder and harder both financially and emotionally. If the doctors and clinics are on such a different level, I was thinking of talking to my sister about it. I am very relieved that an interpreter is there every time and I think I will go to this clinic. ！

#4 Thank you for pushing me to go to this clinic
There is a pattern of not having fertility tests ！ As you said, I had heard that Kapiolani Hospital is the place to go for fertility treatment in Hawaii ・ I thought that Kapiolani Hospital is the place to go for childbirth, I had heard that Kapiolani Hospital was the place to go for childbirth, but I was a little concerned about the fact that the doctor was very old. I was also troubled by the mixed reviews about the interpreters, but I didn't know much about Dr. Dominguez, so thank you very much for the information. Thank you also for your concern. I am currently stress-free, and I hope that things will turn out well, although it may be with the help of the clinic.

Thank you all so much ！
You have been very helpful and encouraging.
Thank you very much ！
