Arai ENT Clinic
About
Arai ENT Clinic, located in Minami-cho, Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is a clinic specializing in the examination and treatment of ear, nose, and throat conditions. The clinic offers English-language services, creating an environment where patients whose native language is not Japanese can accurately communicate their symptoms. The clinic is distinguished by its strong infection control measures. As a designated Type II Agreement Medical Institution under Article 38, Paragraph 2 of the Infectious Diseases Act, the clinic qualifies for the outpatient infection control improvement add-on. Consequently, the clinic provides examinations for patients with suspected infectious symptoms, such as fever, regardless of their prior consultation history. The clinic also accommodates individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 or influenza, as well as close contacts, and can prescribe approved COVID-19 treatments. However, to prevent infection spread in the waiting room, patients are requested to contact the clinic by phone if they have a fever on the day of their appointment. Depending on the situation, the clinic may designate specific consultation times or request patients to wait outside the facility. Additionally, the clinic prioritizes patients with ENT-related symptoms. The clinic is closed on Tuesdays, Sundays, and public holidays. As a community-based specialist clinic, it caters to the diverse ENT needs of a wide range of patients.
