Murayama Clinic
About
Located in Higashi-cho, Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture, Murayama Clinic is a medical facility that has supported the health of local residents as a community-based internal medicine clinic since its establishment in 1971. In November 2021, the clinic embarked on a new beginning under a new system, with the current director—who has spent 20 years as a surgeon, specializing in cancer surgery and chemotherapy—leading medical care as the community's primary care physician. With experience as a staff physician at Nihonkai General Hospital, the director applies specialized knowledge and extensive clinical experience to community medicine while prioritizing a sincere approach that addresses each patient's concerns and worries. The clinic's distinguishing feature is providing comprehensive medical care to a wide age range, from children to the elderly, without being confined to specific specialties. For challenging cases, smooth referrals to appropriate medical institutions including Nihonkai General Hospital are arranged, fulfilling the role of a gateway to community healthcare. In addition to English support, the facility offers an on-site parking lot and barrier-free accessibility, ensuring convenience for diverse patients. Medical hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday with morning and afternoon sessions, Wednesday and Saturday mornings only, and closed on Sundays, holidays, year-end and New Year's holidays, and Obon period.
