Takarazuka Gastroenterology Endoscopy Clinic
About
Located near the south exit of Takarazuka Station in Hyogo Prefecture, Takarazuka Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinic is a specialized gastroenterology clinic operated by Ijihōjin Saiju. In October 2024, the clinic changed its name from 'Tanimura Clinic' and has made safe, low-burden gastroscopy and colonoscopy examinations by specialist and instructing physicians the cornerstone of its practice. A distinctive feature of the clinic is its ability to perform both gastroscopy and colonoscopy on the same day, as well as offering colonoscopy on Saturdays, making it accessible for those who have difficulty taking time off on weekdays. Additionally, examinations and procedures by female physicians are available, making the clinic particularly welcoming for female patients. Beyond gastrointestinal endoscopy, the clinic provides specialized care for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as an IBD-certified facility, and covers a wide range of digestive tract conditions with skill instructors specializing in anal diseases. Under the leadership of Director Dr. Lee Qiaoyuan, the clinic builds upon the achievements and traditions inherited from the previous director, demonstrating a strong commitment to contributing to regional healthcare. The clinic offers English-language services, accepts credit cards and electronic payments, and provides parking facilities. It is also actively engaged in disseminating medical information about gastrointestinal conditions, including Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy, reflux esophagitis, and colonic diverticulitis.
