Takahashi Clinic

About

Takahashi Clinic, located in Yayoi-machi, Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture, is a medical facility specializing in internal medicine. The clinic relocated from Sakamoto-machi in November 2021 and has contributed to community healthcare for over 40 years. As a designated medical institution for precision screening of stomach and colorectal cancer, the clinic offers gastrointestinal examinations. Through gastroscopy and colonoscopy, the clinic directly observes the gastrointestinal mucosa, enabling detection of minute lesions and tissue sampling for pathological examination. This examination system facilitates early cancer detection. Consultation hours are 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM in the morning and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in the afternoon, with Sundays and public holidays closed. In terms of equipment, a fully automated PCR testing system has been introduced to strengthen COVID-19 testing capabilities, enabling rapid diagnosis during initial consultations. An isolation room with a separate entrance for patients with fever symptoms has been established to prevent nosocomial infections. A rehabilitation room is also available, and as a member of the Japanese Society of Anti-Aging Medicine, the clinic is committed to extending healthy life expectancy. Staff includes certified diabetes educators and Kumamoto Prefecture-certified dementia support physicians, providing specialized care for diabetes and dementia. As a designated home care clinic, the clinic provides home medical care and end-of-life care at patients' homes. Health checkups and various vaccinations are also available. Parking facilities and barrier-free access are provided, and English language support is available. As physicians may make house calls in the afternoon, advance confirmation is recommended.
