About
Hashimoto Clinic, operated by Medical Corporation Meiseikai, is a community-based medical facility located in Yuasa-cho, Arida District, Wakayama Prefecture, specializing in internal medicine, surgery, gastroenterology, proctology, and breast surgery. In May 2023, the clinic changed its name from 'Hashimoto Gastrointestinal and Proctological Surgery' to its current name, providing care for a wide range of conditions including fever, trauma, abdominal and perianal disorders, allergies, and lower back pain. One of the clinic's distinctive features is its commitment to minimally uncomfortable endoscopic examinations. In addition to early detection and treatment of colorectal cancer and polyps through gastroscopy and colonoscopy, the clinic also focuses on treating intractable diseases such as ulcerative colitis. In terms of equipment, the clinic is fully equipped with a CT scanner in addition to general X-ray capabilities, enabling examinations for conditions that are difficult to detect with standard X-rays or ultrasound. Every Tuesday morning, a female physician conducts a breast clinic, where breast cancer screenings are available. Prescriptions are available both in-house and through external pharmacies. English-language services are available, and the clinic provides 30 parking spaces, making it convenient for patients visiting by car. Consultation hours are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with the clinic closed on Sundays, public holidays, the New Year period, and August 15. As a local primary care provider, this medical facility offers a comprehensive range of specialties and well-equipped examination facilities.
