About
Hashimoto Kids Clinic is a pediatric specialty clinic conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from JR Kakogawa Station in Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture. Clinic director Dr. Naoki Hashimoto is a board-certified pediatrician certified by the Japan Pediatric Society who, after training at the Department of Pediatrics at Kobe University School of Medicine, has been supporting the health of children in the local community for over 15 years since the clinic opened in 2010. The clinic covers a wide range of medical services, including infectious diseases and allergic conditions, as well as pediatric neurological disorders such as epilepsy and developmental disabilities, and psychosomatic conditions such as nocturnal enuresis and orthostatic dysregulation. The clinic is also actively engaged in developmental consultations and school refusal counseling. In addition to morning (9:30–12:00) and afternoon (15:30–18:00) general consultations, a dedicated time slot for vaccinations and infant health checkups (14:30–15:30) is provided separately. As an infection control measure, the waiting areas for febrile patients and other patients are kept separate to maintain hygiene within the clinic. Home visit medical care is available for children requiring medical support at home, and a cooperative referral system with Kakogawa Central Citizens Hospital and Hyogo Prefectural Children's Hospital has been established. Consultations in English and Korean are available, and the clinic is equipped with 13 dedicated parking spaces.
