Horikoshi Clinic
About
Located in Tomoe, Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Horikoshi Clinic is an internal medicine clinic approximately a 10-minute walk from the south exit of JR Chigasaki Station. A female physician with approximately 40 years of experience in infectious diseases, Kawasaki disease, bronchial asthma, and neonatal/premature infant care at university hospitals and regional core hospitals provides medical consultations. Additionally, having completed clinical training at a pediatric hospital in Boston, USA, the clinic is characterized by incorporating the warm approach to patients and families learned during that experience into daily practice. Guided by the motto "To help families leave the examination room with a smile," the physician emphasizes carefully explaining not only treatment prospects but also home care methods. The clinic operates by appointment to avoid waiting room congestion and reduce wait times, handling general medical care as well as vaccinations and infant health checkups. Consultation hours are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and approximately 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with closures on Thursdays, Saturday afternoons, Sundays, and holidays. With a history of providing community-based medical care since the physician's mother's generation, the clinic offers a family-centered care system with female physicians and staff. English communication is available, and parking and barrier-free facilities are provided, creating an accessible environment for a wide range of patients.
