Otani Clinic
About
Otani Clinic, operated by Medical Corporation Sukoyaka-kai, is located in Myodacho, Gobo City, Wakayama Prefecture. The clinic specializes in internal medicine, pediatrics, neurology, psychosomatic medicine, and pediatric neurology. The medical director, following his tenure at the Osaka Maternal and Child Health Center, established this practice in 1996. In addition to general internal medicine and pediatric care, the clinic provides specialized treatment and consultation for epilepsy, cerebral palsy, developmental disorders (including autism and ADHD), and psychosomatic conditions. The clinic is particularly notable for its expertise in epilepsy and pediatric neurology, offering second opinions to patients currently receiving treatment at other medical institutions. A distinguishing feature is that EEG examinations are performed by the director personally rather than by technicians. The clinic has made significant contributions to local maternal and child health activities over many years, receiving the Gobo City Culture Award in 2021 and the Japan Epilepsy Association Merit Award in 2016. Consultation hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM, Saturday mornings only. The clinic is closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Some afternoon time slots are prioritized for vaccinations and consultations requiring extended time. The facility is equipped with barrier-free access and parking, and English-language service is available. Serving patients across all generations, this clinic provides specialized medical care deeply rooted in the local community.
