Sugimori Clinic
About
Sugimori Clinic, located in Kamitsutsuya, Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, is a community-based clinic specializing in internal medicine, with cardiology, respiratory medicine, and gastroenterology. Under the direction of Dr. Narumi Sugimori, the clinic operates under the philosophy of being 'a trusted family doctor for the community,' emphasizing thorough explanations to each patient. Since April 2015, the clinic has offered transnasal endoscopy, which causes less gag reflex compared to oral endoscopy, providing a relatively low-burden stomach examination. The clinic also participates in Takaoka City's gastric cancer screening program. Additionally, the clinic offers 'nutritional analysis' as a private practice based on orthomolecular nutrition therapy concepts using blood tests, available on Wednesday mornings (by appointment only) for patients experiencing ongoing discomfort despite normal health check results. Specialized services include Soy Check, a urine test to confirm equol production capacity from soy isoflavones, as well as women's outpatient services and Kampo (traditional Japanese medicine) consultations. For cases requiring specialized treatment, the clinic has established a cooperative system with regional core hospitals such as Koseiren Takaoka Hospital and Takaoka Citizen's Hospital. As a medical DX promotion facility, the clinic supports My Number health insurance cards and electronic prescriptions, with credit card and electronic payment options, parking facilities, and barrier-free access, ensuring a patient-friendly environment.
