Hiraga Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Located in Nopporo Higashi-cho, Ebetsu City, Hokkaido, Hiraga Internal Medicine Clinic is an internal medicine clinic easily accessible by local residents, approximately a 5-minute walk from JR Nopporo Station. Since opening in October 1995, the clinic specializes in internal medicine, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, and cardiology, providing comprehensive care ranging from common conditions like colds and influenza to various health screenings and specific health checkups. Clinic Director Dr. Toshihisa Hiraga, a medical doctor who graduated from Hokkaido University School of Medicine, previously served as the Chief of Internal Medicine at Ebetsu Municipal General Hospital before establishing this clinic. He holds qualifications as a certified specialist of the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine and a labor health consultant. Under the clinic's philosophy of "holistic healthcare," treatment extends beyond organ-specific care to encompass each patient's overall lifestyle and well-being. In cardiology, the clinic features meticulous care, using Holter ECG and Holter blood pressure monitors to understand patients' daily conditions at home and work when determining treatment plans. For cases requiring hospitalization or advanced examinations such as CT or MRI, the clinic has established a referral system to partner medical institutions including municipal hospitals, Keiwakai Ebetsu Hospital, National Sapporo Hospital, and university hospitals. The facility features a bright waiting room with impressive floor-to-ceiling windows, is barrier-free, includes a parking lot, and provides English-language services.
