About
Chikami Clinic, located in Takasaki, Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, is a historic internal medicine clinic established in 1945. In October 2021, it was passed to the third generation and now operates with a two-doctor system featuring a cardiovascular specialist as the director and a female physician specializing in diabetes as the vice director. For cardiovascular diseases, the clinic emphasizes preventive care for patients with risk factors such as hypertension and high cholesterol that may lead to future heart and vascular conditions. For diabetes, the clinic handles not only Type 2 diabetes but also Type 1 diabetes and gestational diabetes, providing specialized care by certified specialists. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes are closely related fields, and having specialists in both areas enables the delivery of higher quality medical care. The clinic also handles general internal medicine including lifestyle-related diseases and common colds, serving as a community primary care provider. Consultation hours are 8:45 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM, closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays. First-time patients can book appointments online. English assistance is available, and the clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments, with parking facilities on site.
