Kinose Dental Clinic
About
Located in Higashino, Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture, Kinose Dental Clinic has served the community's dental care needs for over 20 years since opening in 2003. Dr. Hiroshi Kinose, who graduated from Kagoshima University Faculty of Dentistry, established the practice in Itami with a guiding principle of "considering how I would want to be treated if I were the patient." Clinic hours are 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 7:00 PM, with Saturday morning appointments available. The clinic is closed Wednesday afternoons, Saturday afternoons, Sundays, and public holidays, with temporary closures during year-end and Obon periods announced on their blog. A notable feature of the clinic is its ability to provide services in English. The official website includes an English page, welcoming English-speaking patients with dental concerns. The location is easily accessible from Itami City as well as neighboring areas such as Kawanishi City and Takarazuka City. The interior design shows careful attention to accessibility, with a ramp from the parking lot to the entrance and the step from the entrance to the waiting area reduced to approximately one centimeter. Corridors are wide enough for wheelchairs and strollers to enter treatment rooms directly. The spacious waiting room features a children's corner within sight of the reception desk, and treatment rooms are semi-private, allowing patients to receive care without concern for their surroundings. Space is also provided for guardians to observe treatment, making this a dental clinic where patients of all ages, from young children to the elderly, can feel at ease.
