Sawamura Neurosurgery & Dialysis Clinic

About

Sawamura Neurology and Dialysis Clinic, located a 3-minute walk from Sapporo Station, is a dialysis specialty clinic with a 65-bed maintenance dialysis center. The clinic is situated in a medical building within the Big Sapporo North Sky Building, where multiple specialties including internal medicine, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology are housed in the same building, facilitating easy multi-disciplinary collaboration as needed. The clinic employs the latest multi-functional dialysis device "NCV-3" introduced in March 2019, enabling precise programming tailored to each patient's condition, including hemodiafiltration (online HDF) and intermittent replacement HDF (I-HDF). Notably, evening dialysis is offered on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 5 PM to 10 PM, making it easier for working individuals who find daytime visits difficult to receive continuous treatment. The clinic also accepts temporary dialysis for visitors staying in Sapporo for travel or business trips, providing an accessible system for those who regularly receive dialysis in other regions. An on-site examination center equipped with the latest multi-slice CT and 1.5 Tesla MRI enables early diagnosis of dialysis complications such as stroke. Clinic Director Dr. Yoshihiro Masuko is a certified specialist and instructor of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy, and the facility offers English support and barrier-free facilities, making it a highly accessible dialysis specialty clinic.
