Shimbashi DAY Clinic
About
Shimbashi DAY Clinic is located in Shimbashi, Minato City, Tokyo, and offers internal medicine and surgical services. The clinic's surgery department is specialized in day surgery, with a particular focus on inguinal hernia treatment. Dr. Tetsuya Kurosaki, the head of surgery, has extensive experience including training at IRCAD at the University of Strasbourg in France and serving as Director of the Department of Surgery at Itabashi Central General Hospital, having performed over 1,000 laparoscopic surgeries. The clinic employs advanced laparoscopic techniques using incisions smaller than 5mm to minimize physical burden. Many patients return home on the day of surgery and are able to return to work the next day, significantly reducing the time and emotional burden associated with hospitalization. Based on the clinic's 'safety first' philosophy led by the anesthesiologist director, the surgical team shares risks in real-time with anesthesiologists and perioperative anesthesia nurses, making rapid clinical decisions. The clinic has established medical partnerships with multiple core hospitals including Itabashi Central General Hospital and Jikei University Hospital, ensuring a system for quick transition to advanced treatment in case of emergency. The clinic operates on a complete appointment system, implementing initiatives such as reducing the number of visits and shortening waiting times to lower barriers to medical care. It also offers convenient amenities including English-speaking staff, credit card acceptance, and electronic payment.
