About
Located in Midori-cho, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, Shida Orthopedic Clinic specializes in orthopedics and rehabilitation. Dr. Hidetaka Shida, the clinic director, advocates a treatment philosophy of "facing each patient's health concerns and worries seriously and providing clear, careful explanations," with a treatment style that emphasizes ensuring patients fully understand their treatment options. Clinic hours are 9 AM to 12 PM in the morning, and in the afternoon Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2 PM to 6 PM, with Wednesday hours extended until 7 PM, making it convenient for visits after work. Note that first-time patients should allow extra time for examinations and have different reception times than returning patients. Additionally, since March 2025, the clinic has introduced platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy as a self-pay regenerative treatment, implemented under a legally compliant system that has submitted to and received approval from the Tohoku Regional Bureau of Health and Welfare. With English-speaking staff, on-site parking, and barrier-free design, the clinic offers an accessible environment for various patients. Infection control measures are ongoing, including AI-equipped thermal cameras for temperature checks and negative pressure ventilation systems.
