Shimizu Clinic
About
Shimizu Clinic, located in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture, is a community-based internal medicine clinic. Its defining characteristic is an integrative medicine approach that combines not only Western medicine but also traditional Chinese herbal therapy and dietary nutrition therapy. The clinic treats a wide range of conditions—including allergies, infertility, menopausal disorders, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, chronic pain, and skin diseases—from multiple perspectives, with a fundamental philosophy of being 'a family clinic where patients can consult about even the smallest concerns.' Another hallmark of the practice is a thorough approach to identifying the root causes underlying poor health, prioritizing essential improvement over surface-level symptom treatment, including investigation into nutritional deficiencies. Online consultations are available for returning patients, and the fever outpatient service separates patient pathways as an infection-prevention measure, reflecting careful attention to safety. English-language support is available, and the clinic is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities, making it accessible to a wide range of patients. Consultation hours are 9:00–13:00 in the morning and 14:30–18:00 in the afternoon, with the clinic closed on Sundays and public holidays.
