About
Shinohara Clinic, located in Ashikita Town, Ashikita District, Kumamoto Prefecture, is a medical facility providing internal medicine services. Since its establishment in 1968, the clinic has contributed to community healthcare for over half a century. Operating hours are from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays, with Saturday morning sessions only. The clinic is closed on Sundays, national holidays, and the year-end/New Year period. The clinic focuses on internal medicine with an emphasis on lifestyle-related diseases, offering same-day examinations and nutritional counseling by a registered dietitian. While some tests have limitations, prompt responses are available. Nutritional counseling is conducted by appointment. The clinic provides in-house prescriptions, allowing patients to receive medications on-site without visiting an external pharmacy. Additionally, appointments are generally not required for standard consultations, and patients can visit directly. However, appointments are necessary for health checkups, ultrasound examinations, and fever outpatient services that require more time. The clinic is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities, accommodating access by car and wheelchair. It is certified by the Japan Medical Association as an "Infectious Disease Control Medical Institution," implementing measures against infectious diseases including COVID-19. English assistance is available, and through these efforts, the clinic continues to support the health of local residents.
