Nigawa Clinic
About
Located in the Nigawa area of Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture, Nigawa Clinic has been serving the community for three generations since its establishment in 1959. The clinic is staffed by two specialists working in collaboration: the director, a board-certified internist and cardiologist, handles internal medicine and cardiovascular medicine, while the vice-director, a board-certified dermatologist, covers general dermatology, pediatric dermatology, and allergic conditions. Internal medicine services are generally available for patients aged 12 and older (junior high school students and above), with a wide scope ranging from cardiovascular diseases and lifestyle-related illnesses to general internal medicine conditions. Consultation hours are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with Thursday afternoons, Saturday afternoons, Sundays, and public holidays closed. The clinic offers in-house dispensing, eliminating pharmacy handling fees and allowing patients to receive medication adjustments and guidance on-site. External prescriptions are also available upon request. English assistance is available, and the clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments, with parking facilities on-site. Emphasizing patient dialogue and creating an approachable atmosphere for consultation, the clinic serves as a community-based family physician, providing care that addresses both physical and mental health.
