Shigenaga Clinic
About
Shigenaga Clinic is a general internal medicine practice located in the central area of Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. As the clinic's director, Dr. Hiroshi Shigenaga, puts it: "Please feel free to ask us about anything, no matter how small." The clinic places great importance on its role as a family doctor that patients can consult with ease. Consultation hours are offered in the morning from 9:00 to 12:00, and in the evening from 18:00 to 20:00, with evening hours available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—making the clinic accessible even for those who find it difficult to visit during daytime hours. Another notable feature of the clinic is its proactive approach to preventive medicine and health screenings, including cervical cancer screenings, BCG vaccinations, and influenza vaccinations for the elderly. English-language consultations are available, allowing non-Japanese speakers to visit with confidence. The clinic is equipped with a parking lot and is designed to be barrier-free, providing a welcoming environment for those arriving by car or requiring physical assistance. As a member institution of the Otsu City Medical Association, the clinic is deeply rooted in community healthcare and addresses a wide range of needs—from everyday health management to health check-ups and vaccinations.
