About
Nishikawa ENT Clinic is a community-based clinic specializing in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat), located in Shirahamacho, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. Director Kunio Nishikawa trained in the Department of Otolaryngology at Okayama University School of Medicine and spent many years at Shikoku Cancer Center specializing in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery. He holds a doctoral degree in medicine and is a certified specialist of the Japan Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, bringing extensive clinical experience to community healthcare. The clinic's guiding principles are "evidence-based and precise medical care," "a welcoming atmosphere with clear and concise explanations," and "strong coordination with higher-level medical facilities," with a treatment philosophy that emphasizes building thoughtful relationships with patients. The clinic is also proactive in infection control measures, and from April 2024 has been designated as a Hyogo Prefecture Category 2 Agreement Medical Institution, establishing a dedicated fever and infectious disease outpatient service with patient flow routes separated from general consultations. The clinic operates on a walk-in, queue-based system with no appointment required, and English-language support is available. Approximately 25 parking spaces are available, including on-site parking, and the facility is fully accessible, making it easy for a wide range of patients to visit. Located within walking distance of Shirahama-no-Miya Station on the Sanyo Electric Railway, the clinic serves as a hub for ENT care in the local community.
