Shirai Ophthalmology Clinic
About
Located in Zaikumachi, Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, Shirai Eye Clinic has been serving the local community as an ophthalmology clinic since its establishment in 1997. In 2003, the clinic underwent renovation to provide a more comfortable treatment environment. The clinic's philosophy is "to ensure patients receive medical care with peace of mind," reflecting a patient-centered approach in its facility design. The attention to detail is evident in the choice of clinic colors, including the eye-friendly green known as "Eye Rest Green." The clinic offers English-speaking services, making it accessible for those who may be uncomfortable with Japanese. Additionally, the clinic features parking and is barrier-free, designed to be accessible to various patients. For severe cases requiring specialized examinations, the clinic has a referral system in place with higher-level medical facilities such as Iwate Medical University Hospital, Iwate Prefectural Central Hospital, and Iwate Prefectural Central Hospital, serving as a gateway for ophthalmic care in the region. The clinic is closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and national holidays, with additional closures during summer and year-end/New Year periods.
