Ueda Gastroenterology Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Ueda Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine Clinic is a gastroenterology and internal medicine practice located approximately 8 minutes on foot from JR Wakayama Line "Kaseda" Station, in Katsuragi Town, Ito District, Wakayama Prefecture. A key feature of this clinic is its gastric and colorectal endoscopy services performed under the supervision of a director who holds specialist and instructor qualifications from the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society. The clinic has introduced an ultra-thin endoscope with a 5.8mm diameter that supports transnasal insertion, helping to suppress the gag reflex and reduce patient discomfort. Sedation is available upon request, enabling examinations to be performed while the patient is in a near-sleep state. For colonoscopy procedures, a carbon dioxide insufflation system is employed to minimize abdominal bloating during and after the examination. Endoscope cleaning and disinfection are thoroughly carried out after each procedure in accordance with guidelines from the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society, reflecting the clinic's high standards of hygiene management. Same-day endoscopic surgery for gastric and colorectal polyps and early-stage cancer is also available. General internal medicine services include treatment for colds and lifestyle-related diseases, as well as specific health checkups, various cancer screenings, and vaccinations. Home medical care is also provided for patients who have difficulty visiting the clinic, allowing the practice to serve a broad role as a community family doctor. The facility is fully barrier-free and equipped with wheelchair-accessible restrooms, and English-language support is available. The clinic also features a parking lot, making it a convenient option for patients traveling by car.
