Ikeda Naoki Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Located in Ogaku, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Ikeda Naoki Internal Medicine Clinic is an internal medicine specialty clinic just a one-minute walk from Ogaku 2-chome bus stop. The clinic's most distinctive feature is its proactive adoption of cutting-edge AI medical technology. As the first clinic in the Hokuriku region to introduce an AI colonoscopy image diagnostic support system (2021), a chest imaging AI analysis system (2022), and AI-analyzed gastroscopy (2023), the clinic has been featured multiple times in the local newspaper, Hokoku Shimbun. These systems enhance the accuracy of early detection for cancer and other lesions, improving diagnostic quality. Consultation hours are 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM on weekdays, with Thursday and Saturday afternoons closed, and Sunday and public holidays as regular closing days. The clinic prioritizes infection control measures, including a smartphone-based pre-consultation questionnaire system and patient flow management that separates those with cold symptoms from general patients to prevent hospital-acquired infections. English language support is available, and the clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments while providing barrier-free facilities to accommodate diverse patient needs. Additionally, medical cooperation agreements with multiple core hospitals, including Kanazawa Red Cross Hospital and Kanazawa University Hospital, ensure appropriate referrals for hospitalization or detailed examinations when needed.
