内科とは/当クリニックの内科

Internal medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the treatment and management of a wide range of illnesses, from common conditions such as colds and stomachaches to chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus. It encompasses various organs and systems in the body and addresses a broad spectrum of symptoms.

Our clinic, located in a residential area, offers comprehensive internal medicine services to the community. Our experienced physicians provide thorough examinations and consultations to treat a variety of illnesses and guide patients towards recovery. We prioritize daily endoscopic examinations of the stomach and large intestine to create precise treatment plans and refer patients to specialized hospitals when necessary.

If you're experiencing unusual symptoms and are unsure which department to visit, we recommend scheduling an appointment with a general internist who can provide guidance for any physical ailments. After diagnosing your condition, we can refer you to a specialized department or a higher-level hospital based on your specific needs. At our clinic, we prioritize providing peace of mind to our patients by offering a "family doctor" approach, where patients can consult with the same physician for any health concerns. This policy aligns with our specialization in internal medicine and commitment to offering trusted healthcare services to the community.
