Yayoi Medical Clinic
About
Yayoi Medical Clinic, located immediately at the Nakasako intersection on National Route 24 in Iwade City, Wakayama Prefecture, is a clinic specializing in internal medicine. The clinic has introduced an X-ray imaging system using Fuji Computed Radiography (FCR), which produces clear images with less radiation exposure than conventional methods, enabling examinations with reduced radiation dose. Additionally, bone mineral density (BMD) testing using the DXA method can measure bone density in the lumbar spine, femur, and forearm in approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute, contributing to early detection of osteoporosis. Furthermore, arteriosclerosis examinations measure Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) in about 5 to 6 minutes, allowing assessment of arterial stiffness and blockages. For diabetes, the clinic is equipped with the latest device that can simultaneously measure blood glucose and HbA1c on a single unit, with results available in approximately 80 seconds. Ultrasound diagnostic equipment and a medical imaging filing system have also been introduced, supporting accurate diagnosis by displaying digital examination images on high-definition monitors. The clinic can accommodate patients in English, accepts credit cards and electronic payments, and has parking and barrier-free facilities, creating an accessible environment for a wide range of patients. Operating hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the morning and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the afternoon, with closures on Sundays, national holidays, and during the New Year and Obon periods.
