About

Director Ryu Kawakami practices patient-centered care based on his belief that "health means living each day with fulfillment," attending to each patient's individual health perspectives.

The use of sedation is carefully discussed with patients, demonstrating thoughtful consideration to alleviate anxiety about examinations. The clinic also focuses on abdominal ultrasound examinations, with experience in over 10,000 procedures, actively working to detect gastrointestinal diseases early, even those with few subjective symptoms. The clinic treats lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia, as well as endocrine disorders including thyroid diseases, providing a comprehensive system for a wide range of internal medicine conditions. Consultation hours are weekday and Saturday mornings, and weekday afternoons (excluding Wednesdays and Saturdays). The clinic is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities, ensuring an easily accessible environment for patients.
