Terakura Clinic
About
Terakura Clinic, located in Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, is just a 3-minute walk from Amagasaki Station on the Hanshin Main Line and Hanshin Namba Line. This clinic provides comprehensive medical care in internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, colorectal surgery, and home-visit medical services. Dr. Masanobu Terakura, the clinic director, graduated from Osaka City University School of Medicine and brings over 30 years of clinical experience, including study at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States. He holds credentials including Fellow of the Japan Surgical Society and Instructor of the Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Surgery. A distinctive feature of the clinic is its "one-stop medical care" approach, aiming to reduce the burden on patients by examining symptoms spanning multiple disciplines—from internal medicine to surgery and orthopedics—all in one location. The clinic places strong emphasis on infection control, implementing comprehensive measures from the design stage, including total heat exchangers, ceiling-mounted high-performance air purifiers, and a dedicated negative-pressure examination room for febrile patients. Consultation hours begin at 7:30 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at 8:30 AM on Tuesdays and Saturdays, making it convenient for visits before work or school. The clinic accommodates English and Korean speakers and accepts credit cards and electronic payments. With barrier-free design and parking available, plus active home-visit services for patients with mobility difficulties, Terakura Clinic serves as a community-focused healthcare facility.
