It is now more than half a century since Dr. John Besford from Britain opened his dental office in the Masonic Building, Tokyo. When the property was demolished, he moved his practice to the new Mori Building 32 nearby. His facilities were remodeled as the Tokyo Clinic Dental Office.
Dr. Hirokazu Enatsu was not in the Masonic Building or the Mori Building during its first years. He is too young. He was appointed to the Tokyo Clinic Dental Office a dozen years ago. Since then he has earned a good name for his understanding and sympathetic handling of patients and his technical skills.
The last of 10 siblings, he was brought up in bilingual surroundings in Okinawa. From Japanese primary school there, he went on to attend a church high school. Then his thoughts turned to America. "For university, there were few options for us to get to Tokyo," he said. "We looked to the U.S. or Europe." He applied to the University of California, Los Angeles, and was accepted.
