Kurashiki Westside Clinic
About
Kurashiki West Side Clinic, located in Nishiachi-cho, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, has been providing community-based internal medicine care since its establishment in 2005. While internal medicine forms the core of its services, the clinic covers a broad range of specialties including gastroenterology, cardiology, and pulmonology, offering comprehensive internal medicine care. Online consultations are available for both new and returning patients. In terms of equipment, the clinic has introduced an ultrasound diagnostic system with elastography functionality, enabling more precise diagnosis of thyroid tumors and liver fibrosis. Infection control is also a priority, with a negative pressure room equipped with a complete outdoor exhaust system using HEPA filters, where examinations and consultations for highly contagious diseases such as influenza and COVID-19 are conducted. The clinic has established a patient information sharing network with Kurashiki Central Hospital and an imaging diagnosis network with Tamashima Central Hospital, reflecting its strong collaborative ties with regional medical institutions. English-language support is available, and on-site parking is provided. Consultation hours are 9:00–13:00 in the morning and 15:00–18:00 in the afternoon, with closures on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
