About
Arai Children's Clinic / Ophthalmology Clinic, located in Joho Chuo in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, is a multi-specialty clinic combining pediatrics and ophthalmology. A key feature of the clinic is that both pediatric and ophthalmology services are housed within the same facility, with a coordinated system in place for preschool children with eye conditions: the pediatric department first evaluates overall health, development, and neurological concerns before referring to ophthalmology. The pediatric department provides care on weekday mornings and afternoons, as well as Saturday mornings, and also accommodates urgent cases under certain conditions. To prevent healthcare-associated infections, the clinic encourages appointments, with efforts to reduce waiting times. The ophthalmology department is equipped with an operating room, laser treatment facilities, and high-precision medical devices including fundus cameras, and also accepts second-opinion consultations. Additionally, the clinic houses a sick childcare room called "Kirin" and a child development support room called "Kirinji," offering childcare services for children in recovery who have difficulty attending nursery school. The facility features barrier-free design and includes on-site parking. English-language services are available, creating an environment that accommodates patients from diverse backgrounds. Supporting local children and families from multiple angles, this medical institution functions as a comprehensive facility integrating pediatric healthcare and child-rearing support.
