EST Clinic
About
EST Clinic, located in Fukumura Shinkanzoe, Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, is an internal medicine clinic operated by the medical corporation Close to You. As the corporate name "Close to You" suggests, the clinic's founding principle is to provide community-oriented healthcare that stands alongside local residents. Consultation hours run from 8:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, offering a schedule that accommodates daytime visits. The clinic is closed on Sundays; however, on national holidays, the department available may vary depending on the attending physician, and consultations may be limited to the morning—so it is advisable to check before visiting. The year-end and New Year period (December 30 to January 3) follows the same arrangement as national holidays. The facility has a spacious parking lot, providing high convenience for patients in an area where car access is the norm. The interior is barrier-free, ensuring that elderly patients and those with physical disabilities can visit with confidence. Payment options include credit cards and various electronic payment methods, giving patients the flexibility to choose from multiple cashless options. As a community-based clinic capable of addressing a broad range of needs—from everyday ailments to chronic disease management in general internal medicine—EST Clinic serves patients from within and beyond Hirosaki City.
