Kurata Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Kurata Internal Medicine Clinic is an internal medicine clinic located in Toyokacho, Tsurumi Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, providing English language support and barrier-free access. The clinic participates in the 'Salvia Network,' Tsurumi Ward's medical collaboration network, allowing patients to view information from other medical facilities they have visited on their medical records. For shared medical equipment examinations such as CT, MRI, and endoscopy, the clinic handles reservations and result explanations in-house, operating as if the entire community were one hospital. Referrals for conditions outside the clinic's specialties or to other departments can also be processed online, improving patient convenience and enabling real-time medical care through IT implementation. The clinic also places emphasis on Kampo (traditional Japanese) medicine, actively prescribing treatments for respiratory diseases, allergic rhinitis (including hay fever), and gastrointestinal disorders—approaches that offer a different perspective from Western medicine. Sleep apnea syndrome examination and treatment are also available, with special attention given to patients with lifestyle-related diseases who are concerned about snoring or daytime sleepiness. The clinic emphasizes medical risk communication, striving to provide prompt and accurate information with empathy and respect for patients.
