Hosoi Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Hosoi Internal Medicine Clinic is conveniently located just a one-minute walk from Kintetsu Ikoma Station in Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture, specializing in internal medicine with a focus on lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as endocrine disorders including thyroid conditions. The clinic is led by Dr. Fujio Hosoi, who holds a medical doctorate, and is known for its thorough and attentive approach to care as a trusted local family doctor, taking the time to carefully listen to each patient's symptoms and concerns. The clinic covers internal medicine, cardiology, thyroid, metabolism, diabetes, and hypertension, with particular emphasis on the early detection and prevention of diabetes—a condition often lacking early symptoms—through ongoing monitoring of blood glucose levels and HbA1c. The clinic also diagnoses and treats endocrine disorders such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, as well as sleep apnea syndrome, supported by a comprehensive range of diagnostic services including blood tests, electrocardiography, ultrasound examinations (cardiac, abdominal, and thyroid), and arteriosclerosis screening (ABI testing). Additional services include specific health checkups, various cancer screenings, vaccinations such as influenza shots, and home medical care including house calls, along with proactive referrals to partner hospitals. The clinic is equipped with English-language support and barrier-free facilities, and strives to create a welcoming environment where even those who feel anxious about hospital visits can receive care in a relaxed setting.
