About
Located in Okubo, Shinjuku Ward, this internal medicine clinic is conveniently situated within a 5-8 minute walk from Higashi-Shinjuku Station and Nishi-Waseda Station. Established in August 2001 as a pioneer in home visitation, the clinic began as a specialized home healthcare provider and has since built a collaborative system with over 100 multidisciplinary staff members. In addition to outpatient services, the clinic provides transportation support for those who have difficulty visiting and home medical care for those who cannot go out, with 24/7 telephone consultation and visitation response capabilities. The clinic has a long track record of providing home healthcare for super-elderly individuals, those with severe disabilities, and patients with rare diseases or cancer who have difficulty going out. The clinic functions as a primary care physician, offering comprehensive services including health checkup consultations, health management advice, specialist referrals, medication management, nursing care and welfare service consultations, and emergency information for nights and holidays. The clinic qualifies for regional comprehensive care fees and supports medical DX initiatives such as online eligibility verification, electronic prescription issuance, and electronic medical record information sharing. In addition to English and Korean language support, the clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments and provides barrier-free access.
