About
Ikemoto Neurosurgery and Neurology Clinic is located on the first floor of 'Orange Ashiya,' approximately a 5-minute walk from JR Ashiya Station in Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. Specializing in neurosurgery and neurology, the clinic is led by Dr. Hideyasu Ikemoto, a medical doctor and graduate of Hyogo Medical University who holds certifications from the Japan Neurosurgical Society and the Japanese Headache Society. The clinic addresses a wide range of conditions, from common neurological symptoms such as headaches, memory loss, dizziness, and numbness to serious conditions including stroke, brain tumors, and spinal cord injuries. The clinic places particular emphasis on headache diagnosis, distinguishing between primary headaches such as migraines and tension-type headaches, and secondary headaches caused by conditions like subarachnoid hemorrhage and brain tumors, leveraging Dr. Ikemoto's expertise as a headache specialist. For dementia care, the clinic prioritizes early detection of the three major types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, with MRI examinations available on the first visit to enable rapid diagnosis. The clinic's practice philosophy centers on 'approachability,' 'building bridges,' and 'prevention,' focusing on creating an environment where patients can easily consult, providing referrals to specialized hospitals when necessary, and emphasizing stroke and dementia prevention. The clinic offers English-language services, accepts credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments, and provides parking and barrier-free facilities. Since opening in 2011, the clinic has served as a community healthcare provider dedicated to early detection and prevention of neurological conditions.
