Takuma Kodomo Clinic
About
Located in Nagakijō, Wakabayashi-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Takuma Kodomo Clinic is a specialized pediatric clinic led by a board-certified pediatrician from the Japan Pediatric Society. The clinic serves children from the neonatal period through adolescence, providing long-term care that supports the growth of local children. To prevent cross-contamination, the clinic has separate waiting rooms and examination rooms for febrile patients and non-febrile patients seeking preventive services, demonstrating thorough infection control measures. In terms of equipment, the clinic has introduced SVS (Spot Vision Screener) for vision refraction testing, which is suitable for infants and costs 500 yen per examination including printed results. Starting February 2026, vision screening using the Red reflex method has also been added during infant health checkups at 1, 2, and 4-5 months, strengthening the system for early detection of eye conditions. Infant health checkups and vaccinations are by appointment only with a 3-day advance reservation requirement, while general consultations accept appointments up to 30 minutes before the desired time. The clinic offers English language services, accepts credit cards and electronic payments, and provides on-site parking. The clinic is closed on Wednesdays, Sundays, and national holidays, but operates on holidays when serving as the on-call doctor for Sendai City.
