About
Sugimoto Clinic is a medical facility providing internal medicine services in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture, located approximately a 10-minute walk from JR Soja Station. In addition to general internal medicine, the clinic places particular emphasis on the management and guidance of lifestyle-related diseases. For diabetes care, it works in collaboration with specialized medical institutions to provide tailored support for each patient, including dietary guidance, promotion of exercise therapy, and medication counseling. A notable feature is the monthly specialist outpatient clinic conducted by a hepatologist, which offers abdominal ultrasound examinations and liver fibrosis measurements using ultrasound elastography to monitor the progression of fatty liver and cirrhosis and facilitate early detection. The clinic also provides dialysis care, working closely with other medical institutions to ensure prompt management of complications and a reassuring treatment environment for local patients. Consultation hours are from 9:00 to 12:30 in the morning and from 16:30 to 18:30 in the afternoon, with the clinic closed on Sundays and public holidays. Please note that outpatient consultations may be temporarily suspended between 10:30 and 11:30 from Tuesday to Saturday due to dialysis ward rounds. English-language assistance is available, and the clinic is equipped with a parking lot, making it convenient for patients traveling by car.
