Kichijoji Clinic
About
Medical Corporation Keitokukai Kichijoji Clinic is located just a 1-minute walk from Kichijoji Station North Exit, specializing in artificial dialysis internal medicine. The clinic is easily accessible from Kichijoji Station, which serves three railway lines—JR Chuo-Sobu Line, Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, and Keio Inokashira Line—making it convenient for patients to reduce the burden of regular dialysis visits. Since its opening in November 2002, Dr. Kumiko Shimasaki has served as the director. She holds certifications as a General Internal Medicine Specialist from the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine, as well as a Kidney Specialist from the Japanese Society of Nephrology and a Dialysis Specialist from the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy. The facility is equipped with 33 dialysis beds and supports ultrasound-guided puncture, enabling safer and more precise dialysis treatment. Additionally, the clinic offers transportation services between patients' homes and the facility, supporting those who have difficulty visiting on their own. The clinic operates from Monday to Saturday, with morning sessions starting at 8:45 AM and afternoon sessions at 2:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The barrier-free facility includes parking, creating an environment where dialysis patients can continue their visits with minimal physical burden. With a philosophy of "Heartfelt Medical Care" that emphasizes communication with patients and their families, the clinic is characterized by its attentive approach to addressing the anxieties and questions related to dialysis treatment.
