Shimadera Medical Clinic
About
Shimadera Medical Clinic, located in Koya-na, Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, is a community-based clinic situated along Route 156, specializing in internal medicine and pediatrics. A distinctive feature of this clinic is that a pediatric surgery specialist is on staff, enabling them to handle same-day surgeries for children. The clinic offers a wide range of medical departments including pediatric surgery, pediatrics, general surgery, and internal medicine, accepting patients from children to adults. However, they clearly state that there are limitations in handling complex cases of chronic diseases in adults, demonstrating their commitment to providing patients with careful information. The clinic has also established its own infection control measures: drive-through examinations and isolation examination rooms are available for patients with fever or suspected infections, and the waiting area is divided into infection and non-infection zones to reduce the risk of nosocomial infections. Saturday afternoons are designated for specialized outpatient services such as allergy testing, ultrasound examinations, and various consultations, accommodating patients with referral letters and those requiring detailed examinations. The clinic has also introduced its own app called 'Pupnote,' allowing patients to input symptoms before their visit to facilitate smoother consultations, showing their proactive approach to digital tools. The facility features barrier-free design and is equipped with parking, making it easily accessible by car.
