Ishibashi Diabetes and Endocrinology Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Located in Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture, Ishibashi Diabetes & Endocrinology Clinic specializes in internal medicine for diabetes and endocrine disorders. Clinic hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 AM to 12 PM and 3 PM to 6 PM, closed on Sundays, holidays, New Year's, and Bon holidays. The clinic operates on an appointment-first system; patients without appointments may be asked to reschedule, so advance booking is recommended. Those wishing to visit on Saturday are especially advised to book early. First-time patients must bring their My Number card, eligibility verification document, and medication handbook. Patients who have visited other hospitals should prepare referral letters and test data to the extent possible. Registration hours are until 11 AM and 5 PM for first-time visits, and until 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM for follow-ups, with careful time management due to the appointment system. The clinic holds diabetes education classes in November, providing opportunities to deepen understanding of diabetes treatment. As a medical information collection fee institution, the clinic strives to obtain medical information using My Number insurance and provides free itemized statements showing medical service calculation items at the time of receipt issuance to promote transparency. Electronic prescriptions are also available for patients who prefer them. The facility includes parking and is barrier-free. English services are available, creating an accessible environment for foreign patients. While on-site dispensing is standard, the clinic offers flexible services such as dispensing external prescriptions upon patient request.
