Uematsu Mental Clinic
About
Uematsu Mental Clinic, located near JR Hainutsuka Station in Chikugo City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is a medical facility specializing in psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine. The clinic supports the mental health of local patients with a focus on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions such as depression, autonomic nervous system disorders, panic disorder, and insomnia. Appointments are required for all visits, and consultations are offered in two sessions — morning (9:00–13:00) and afternoon (14:00–17:30) — with an additional Kampo (traditional Chinese medicine) outpatient clinic available from 13:30 to 15:30. Director Dr. Ken Uematsu upholds the philosophy that "a small clinic can give careful, individualized attention to each patient," and the practice is characterized by the attentive, personalized care that its scale allows. English-speaking services are available, making it a welcoming environment for patients who are not confident in Japanese. The clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments, and parking is also available on-site for added convenience. The clinic is closed on Sundays and public holidays, as well as during the year-end and New Year period (December 29 – January 3) and the Obon period (August 13–15). For those struggling with mental health concerns, it serves as an accessible mental health clinic within the local community.
