About
Ito Clinic, operated by a medical corporation, is an internal medicine practice located in Higashi-Izumo, Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, approximately 10 minutes on foot from JR Iya Station. The clinic director is a specialist in gastrointestinal endoscopy and gastroenterology with academic and research experience at Kyushu University and the University of Miami, and provides a broad range of care in general internal medicine as well as gastroenterology, gastrointestinal medicine, and pediatrics. The clinic manages lifestyle-related diseases including hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, and addresses a wide variety of internal conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, and osteoporosis. The facility is well equipped for diagnostic procedures, offering transnasal and transoral endoscopy using slim-diameter gastroscopes, magnifying colonoscopy, and CT colonography for patients who are not suitable candidates for conventional endoscopy. Additional equipment includes full-body CT scanning, abdominal ultrasound, arterial stiffness measurement, and bone density measurement, reflecting a strong commitment to early detection and treatment. The facility is barrier-free, and an automatic lift is installed in the second-floor CT examination room to accommodate patients with limited mobility. Separate zones are maintained for febrile patients as part of infection control measures. English-language consultations are available, and the clinic has on-site parking. A collaborative referral network is in place with nearby institutions including Matsue Red Cross Hospital, Matsue City Hospital, and Matsue Seikyo Hospital. As a community-based primary care physician, the clinic combines broad general practice with a high level of specialist diagnostic capability.
