About
Akihisa Clinic, located in Kamo, Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture, is an internal medicine and diabetes clinic with over 60 years of history since its establishment in 1961. Dr. Rishin Akihisa, the clinic director, holds credentials as a certified diabetes specialist of the Japan Diabetes Society, a certified physician of the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine, and a Doctor of Medicine. The clinic demonstrates high expertise in treating lifestyle-related diseases, particularly diabetes. For HbA1c testing, which is essential for diabetes diagnosis, the clinic has introduced rapid testing using the HPLC method, considered the most accurate. Results are available approximately 100 seconds after blood collection, enabling prompt treatment decisions based on test results. The clinic also offers arteriosclerosis testing, measuring blood pressure and pulse waves in both arms and ankles in about five minutes, with diagnostic results available immediately. Monthly nutritional counseling for lifestyle-related diseases is provided by a registered dietitian, supporting patients from a dietary perspective. The clinic employs on-site dispensing, eliminating the need to visit a pharmacy after consultation and streamlining payment into a single transaction. For patients who have difficulty visiting the clinic, home-visit medical care is available, addressing a wide range of healthcare needs as a community primary care provider. When advanced testing or treatment is required, the clinic has established a cooperative system with core hospitals such as Sanda Municipal Hospital and Hyogo Chuo Hospital. English interpretation is available, and the clinic has a parking lot.
