Fukazawa Hospital
About
Fukazawa Hospital, located in Nijuyoken, Nishi-ku, Sapporo, has been widely recognized throughout Hokkaido as a community-based hospital specializing in orthopedics since its founding in 1987. The hospital primarily provides orthopedic and rheumatology care, with particular emphasis on joint replacement surgery, fracture treatment for elderly patients, and management of osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. The fact that patients travel from across Hokkaido—from Wakkanai to Hakodate, Kushiro, Nemuro, and Erimo—speaks to the hospital's high level of expertise and trustworthiness. Hospital Director Dr. Masanori Fukazawa holds the philosophy of never performing treatments on patients that he would not want for himself, and this patient-centered approach forms the very foundation of care at the hospital. Outpatient reception is available on weekdays from 8:45 AM to noon and from 1:15 PM to 5:00 PM, with Thursday afternoons closed. Saturday consultations are offered on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, mornings only. English-language communication is available, and the facility offers ample parking and a barrier-free design to ensure accessibility for patients of diverse backgrounds. An on-site rehabilitation department enables seamless, comprehensive care from orthopedic treatment through post-treatment recovery.
