Kumagai Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Kumagai Internal Medicine Clinic, located in Kojidai, Nishi-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, is a clinic supporting the health of local residents primarily through internal medicine. In addition to general internal medicine for conditions such as colds, fever, and headaches, the clinic manages lifestyle-related diseases including diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and gout, and serves as a consultation resource for those flagged with abnormalities during health check-ups. Starting April 2026, the clinic plans to expand into gastroenterology and hepatobiliary-pancreatic medicine, transitioning to a two-physician system with a director and associate director, with board-certified internists, clinical instructors, endoscopy specialists, and hepatologists expected to be on staff. In recent years, the clinic has been actively enhancing its patient environment through interior renovations, a transition to electronic medical records, introduction of online appointment and online medical interview systems, and installation of automatic change machines. A barrier-free pathway connecting the parking lot to the entrance has been established, and wheelchairs are available for loan within the clinic, making it accessible for patients with mobility difficulties. English-language assistance is available, with some capacity to accommodate non-Japanese speakers. Consultation hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with closures on Wednesdays, Sundays, public holidays, and during the year-end/New Year and Obon periods.
