About
Hikarimachi Clinic, located in Okubo, Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is a community-based clinic specializing in internal medicine. Building on the legacy of the former Nakajima Pediatric Clinic, it serves as a primary care physician for a wide range of patients in the area. The clinic qualifies for the Function Enhancement Addition designated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, actively fulfilling its role as a family doctor by offering consultations on health checkup results, guidance on insurance and welfare services, and support for inquiries during nights and holidays. Office hours are from 8:00 to 11:00 in the morning and from 13:30 to 18:00 in the afternoon. An online reservation system is available, allowing patients to book same-day appointments starting at 5:00 a.m. Online medical questionnaires are also supported, enabling patients to complete their intake forms before visiting and potentially reducing waiting times. The clinic also accepts patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of infectious diseases such as fever, with infection control measures in place through temporal and spatial separation. English-language assistance is available, and the clinic features a parking lot for easy car access as well as barrier-free facilities, making it a comfortable and accessible environment for those with physical disabilities.
