Funakoshi Clinic
About
Funakoshi Clinic, located about a 10-minute walk from Keisei Usui Station in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture, is an internal medicine clinic specializing in hemodialysis. Dr. Yoichi Funakoshi, the clinic director, has dedicated 25 years to dialysis care since the clinic's establishment. The clinic operates under the concept of "a place where patients can receive treatment with a smile," focusing on creating a comfortable dialysis environment. Since dialysis requires long-term treatment with approximately 4-hour sessions three times a week, the clinic has created an atmosphere where patients can relax—enjoying television during treatment and chatting freely with doctors and staff. To reduce the burden of hospital visits, the clinic offers a free shuttle service with five dedicated vehicles, serving Sakura City, Yachiyo City, Yotsukaido City, Inzai City, Yachimata City, and Shisui Town. Additionally, the clinic provides 24-hour telephone consultations, including direct access to the clinic director for urgent health concerns, with evening dialysis available when necessary. English support, parking facilities, and barrier-free access ensure a welcoming environment for diverse patients.
