About
Sugimoto Gastrointestinal Surgery is a clinic located in Nakamaro, Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture, offering internal medicine, gastroenterology, surgery, and proctology. The clinic focuses primarily on digestive diseases while also providing broad coverage of general internal medicine conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. A notable feature is its strong emphasis on endoscopic examinations, actively performing gastroscopy (both oral and nasal) and colonoscopy, with a track record of over 1,000 gastroscopy procedures annually in the past. For liver, gallbladder, and pancreatic conditions, abdominal ultrasound examinations are utilized, and early cancer detection is a key priority.

Half-day health checkup packages are also available, enabling even busy individuals to undergo medical examinations efficiently. Consultation hours are from 9:00 to 12:00 in the morning and 15:00 to 18:30 in the afternoon, with Wednesday afternoon hours starting from 16:00. English-language support is available, and the facility is equipped with parking and barrier-free accommodations, making it accessible for those arriving by car or with physical disabilities.
