Hashimoto Minami Internal Medicine Main Clinic
About
Hashimoto Minami Internal Medicine Main Clinic is located a 15-minute walk from JR Hashimoto Station. The clinic features a dedicated parking lot for dialysis patients and provides English-language services and barrier-free accessibility. As an internal medicine clinic specializing in lifestyle disease management, they offer nutritional counseling by registered dietitians for diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and chronic kidney disease. They provide primary care centered on lifestyle diseases while collaborating with regional hospitals to deliver appropriate treatment based on patient conditions, including referrals to other specialists and hospitalization arrangements when necessary. Dialysis treatment offers morning, afternoon, and evening time slots Monday through Saturday, with regular shunt examinations by vascular surgeons. The facility includes 25 dialysis beds on the first floor and 55 on the second floor, equipped with electric beds, chairs, and individual televisions. Two private dialysis rooms are available for infectious disease control and special procedures, supporting online HDF. The entire facility features barrier-free design with wheelchair-accessible restrooms, ostomy-friendly restrooms, and two elevators accommodating stretchers. Disaster preparedness includes earthquake-resistant construction, emergency generators, and large-scale water storage. While a dedicated parking lot is provided for dialysis patients, outpatient visitors must use nearby coin parking. The clinic operates on an appointment-only basis and does not treat new patients without a referral letter from another facility.
