Shiraishi Tomo Mental Clinic
About
Shiraishi-Tomo Mental Clinic, located in Higashi-Sapporo, Shiroishi-ku, Sapporo, is a psychosomatic medicine and psychiatry clinic specializing in depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and dementia. The clinic's core philosophy is ensuring that patients experiencing mental distress can receive medical examinations as soon as possible, maintaining a walk-in system that allows consultations without appointments. First-time patients are accepted until 4:30 PM, while general consultations are available until 5:30 PM. Clinic Director Dr. Seiyo Ko, who completed information engineering studies at Kyoto University before graduating from Osaka University School of Medicine, provides consultations in English. The clinic actively supports applications for disability pensions and sickness allowance benefits, and also accepts patients receiving public assistance. As a designated self-support medical institution, the clinic enables patients to reduce their out-of-pocket expenses through public subsidy systems, providing strong support for patients with financial concerns. The facility is located on the second floor of a building without an elevator, and there is no dedicated parking lot. Payments are accepted in cash only, and the clinic has implemented the smartphone medical ticket 'De-Suma Medical Ticket' and offers online medical consultations.
