Igarashi Internal Medicine Clinic

About

Located in Oikubo, Shirakawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, Igarashi Internal Medicine Clinic is a community-based medical facility specializing in internal medicine. The clinic's director graduated from Fukushima Medical University and accumulated extensive clinical experience, primarily in cardiology. After working at the Cardiovascular Institute Hospital in Tokyo, the director specialized in cardiac catheterization examinations and treatments at Shirakawa Kosei Hospital. Based on this experience, the clinic emphasizes preventive care, focusing on promoting improvements in daily life and lifestyle habits before conditions require catheterization treatment—a philosophy that defines the clinic's approach. Medical consultations are available Monday through Friday, mornings and afternoons, with Thursday afternoons dedicated to appointment-based examinations including gastroscopy and abdominal ultrasound. English-language services are available, making the clinic accessible to those unfamiliar with Japanese. The facility is equipped with parking and barrier-free accessibility, ensuring ease of use for elderly patients and those with physical disabilities. The clinic also participates in regional home healthcare and nursing care coordination through the Shirakawa Medical Association, playing a vital role in supporting healthcare for the entire community.
