Wakkanai ENT Clinic
About
Located at 5-chome, Sakae, Wakkanai City, Hokkaido, Wakkanai ENT Clinic is an otolaryngology clinic that opened in October 2017. The clinic director is a specialist who honed their expertise as an otorhinolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon for 17 years at university hospitals and overseas research institutions. With the desire to apply their experience and knowledge to community healthcare in the Soya region and Wakkanai City, where physician shortages are a concern, the clinic was established. This clinic provides comprehensive care for a wide range of conditions including ear symptoms such as ear pain, hearing loss, and tinnitus; nasal conditions including congestion, hay fever, and allergic rhinitis; throat problems like sore throat, hoarseness, and sleep apnea; neck swelling and thyroid disorders; as well as dizziness and vertigo. The director is certified as a "Dizziness Consultant" by the Japan Society for Equilibrium Research, enabling specialized care for intractable dizziness. The facility features parking spaces, barrier-free design, and English consultation services, with hearing aid counseling also available. With the philosophy of "a clinic accessible to everyone as a primary care provider," the clinic actively implements infection prevention measures while continuously working to build a healthcare environment closely connected to the community.
