I'm not sure of your situation, but this topic is about urgent care, but perhaps you are looking for a PRIMARY CARE doctor ？
"I was told I was overbooked", Is it primary care ？ Straub in Ward should be able to provide both （ primary care and ） argent care, which does not require an appointment.

・ Primary Care
I have a Dr. Iizuka （ male ） who is fluent in Japanese who works at the Straub in Ward where Zara1120 went and is a primary care doctor.
Once, I had a routine gynecological checkup, and when I made the appointment, the receptionist suggested, "Would you prefer a female doctor ？?", so I was assigned only that checkup to Dr. Akolea Ioane （ female ） who works at the Ward. Dr. Ioane was charming and kind, although she does not speak Japanese.

When I went to Urgent Care in Straub when I first moved here, I told the receptionist that I was looking for a primary care doctor, and she gave me a list of doctors who were accepting new patients at that time, with their offices. Straub for a list of doctors who were accepting new patients at that time and the offices where they worked.

・ Urgent Care
Straub's Urgent Care does not require an appointment. I have only used the clinic in Waikiki, so I don't know about the status of Urgent Care in Ward.
The doctors at Urgent Care in Waikiki are on duty, so it is random which doctor will see you, but I have never had a bad experience with them and have been very satisfied.

I called Straub and was told they don't take new patients, straub primary care in ward. I believe that there is a long wait for hours for Urgent Care as well. I went in and asked them and they said the same thing as on the phone. I like straub too. I can manage it by myself, and I can see my patients on video, which is really convenient.
I heard that there is a patient who goes to this fluent Japanese doctor and he said he doesn't take new patients. It is located at Ward Whole Foods. I couldn't get a new patient online, so I have to call every time. I will call again. Thank you very much.

I understand the situation better now. Thank you.
It may be difficult to find a primary care doctor who exactly fits all your needs, such as clinic location, MyChart availability, Japanese language support, etc. （ Are you currently planning to wait until Dr. Iizuka in Ward takes new patients? ？ ） There are many other options as follows.

・ Another clinic in Straub has a
list of doctors to choose from that are currently accepting new primary care patients, also on their website.

If you click on each doctor's photo and read their profile, you will see that some doctors are available in Japanese. Japanese language service is available.

・ Look for them in Queens
I don't know much about Queens as I have only been there once for an exam, but I was able to make appointments, bill and pay all from MyChart.
Queens, like Straub, is also convenient because it is large and has primary care clinics and urgent care clinics in various locations.

Thank you Straub's fan for such detailed information. Dr. Iizuka of Ward is a young man, isn't he? I still prefer a female doctor.
I was told that once I find a primary care doctor, I can book my next appointment through his/her website
When I called, I was told that there is a possibility of availability in the middle of the month. Ward said something about 3 doctors moving on.
Straub at Ward is about 20 minutes from my house and far away but the office is beautiful and I like it. Thanks and I will keep you posted.

＞ Ward said something about three doctors moving on.
I did not know about this. ！

I had a lot of trouble at first because the way to see a doctor is very different from Japan when I moved here, and it was difficult to understand the system of primary care doctors. Thank you for reading.
I wish you a satisfactory result, Zara 1120 ！ ！ ！
