Yanase Internal Medicine Respiratory Medicine Clinic
About
Yanase Internal Medicine and Respiratory Clinic, located in Mikataharacho, Naka-ku, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is a medical facility specializing in respiratory care. While providing general internal medicine services, the clinic focuses on specialized treatment for respiratory diseases and is equipped with advanced diagnostic equipment including CT scanners, blood gas analyzers, pulmonary function testing devices, and echocardiography. Leveraging chest CT imaging, the facility can accurately detect subtle lung and bronchial abnormalities that conventional chest X-rays might miss, facilitating early detection of lung cancer. The clinic is staffed by physicians with board certifications from the Japanese Respiratory Society, as well as specialists from the Japanese Society of Allergology, the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, and general internal medicine practitioners. Comprehensive internal medicine services are provided, including hypertension, diabetes, and dementia care. Additionally, registered dietitians offer nutritional counseling to support lifestyle modifications such as salt restriction and increased vegetable consumption for hypertension management. The same premises house a day service center "Akaimi" and a care consultation office "Saori," creating a support system for elderly home care in the community. Clinic hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with closures on Sundays, holidays, year-end and New Year holidays, and the Obon period. The facility also features parking, barrier-free access, and English language support.
