Ishibashi Clinic
About
Ishibashi Clinic, located on the second floor of a building about a 3-minute walk from the east exit of Higashi-Kurume Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, is a medical practice that embraces the concept of "primary care"—offering internal medicine and pediatrics while not limiting itself to specific specialties. With two physicians—Director Koshitsu Ishibashi and Deputy Director Yasuto Sumi—both possessing broad clinical expertise across multiple disciplines, the clinic serves patients of all ages, addressing not only general internal medicine concerns but also providing psychological care through counseling. Guided by the motto of "basically never turning patients away," the clinic also plays a key role in referring patients to appropriate medical institutions based on their symptoms and circumstances, and actively provides home-visit medical care. The clinic is equipped with an X-ray room and offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic capabilities, including electrocardiography, ultrasonography, and various antigen tests, while also placing strong emphasis on infection prevention through measures such as droplet-infection barrier curtains and hypochlorous acid air purifiers. Furthermore, the facility features barrier-free accessibility, on-site parking, and English-language support, creating an environment that is welcoming and accessible to a diverse range of patients. Director Ishibashi, who also serves as a clinical professor at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, is actively involved in the Higashi-Kurume Medical Association and promotes collaboration between home healthcare and nursing care, contributing to community development through coordinated healthcare, nursing care, and welfare initiatives.
