Why did you choose to train at Mayo Clinic?  As a neurosurgeon committed to continuous growth and excellence in patient care, I sought an environment that would allow me to advance both my surgical expertise and my approach to comprehensive, team-based medicine.

I received extensive neurosurgical training in Japan within an excellent clinical environment, which provided me with a strong technical foundation and disciplined surgical judgment. At this stage of my career, I chose to pursue the next step of my training at Mayo Clinic, where surgical excellence is deeply integrated with a patient-first philosophy.

Mayo Clinic’s emphasis on teamwork, open and constructive discussion, and continuous quality improvement provides an ideal environment to refine surgical skills while learning how to provide patient-centered care at the highest standard. Through this fellowship, I aim to grow not only as a technically skilled neurosurgeon, but also as a physician who contributes meaningfully to thoughtful, collaborative, patient-centered, and high-quality care.
