Kato Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Kato Internal Medicine Clinic, operated by the Medical Corporation Koji-kai, is located in Takasago, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, with excellent access just a 1-minute walk from Keisei Line Takasago Station South Exit. The clinic's director and three part-time physicians provide medical care in rotation, all possessing high expertise as diabetes specialists or endocrinology and metabolism specialists. The clinic supports GLP-1 receptor agonists, insulin, insulin pumps, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), specializing in diabetes pharmacotherapy and patient education. Nurses and registered dietitians also hold qualifications such as Japan Diabetes Educators and Tokyo Diabetes Educators, ensuring a medical care system staffed by qualified professionals. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, given that many diabetes patients with high blood sugar levels have been visiting, the clinic does not treat patients with fever or similar symptoms and instead guides them to nearby medical facilities. The clinic also uses an appointment-based system for visit times, aiming to equalize waiting times. For initial visits, over 2 hours should be expected for sufficient medical interviews and examinations. Wearing masks is required within the clinic. Patient associations and exercise classes are also held, with organized outdoor activities and Zoom-based exercise sessions conducted irregularly. Credit card and electronic payments are accepted, and parking is available.
