Kitaageo Clinic（North）AGEO｜Internal Medicine, Gastrointestinal Medicine, Allergology, Pediatric Medicine, Dermatology, Optional vaccinations (including those recommended prior to overseas travel), Tobacco Cessation Outpatient Services

The cherry trees have passed full bloom and shed their flowers, and the Kitaageo area is ushering in a season of fresh springtime greenery, pleasant breezes and refreshing weather. 　This spring we mark the fourth anniversary of our clinic's opening, and on this occasion we have decided to revise our days and times of operation and update the range of medical fields in which we offer services. Moreover, we have made new additions to the clinic itself, including a pediatric examination and treatment room, a kids' waiting area and play space, and changing rooms for users undergoing medical checkups and examinations.

　Utilizing my wide-ranging experience in emergency medical care and other fields, I am proactively expanding our medical services into the areas of pediatric and skin diseases and disorders in addition to the internal medicine services we already offer. We have added changing rooms for medical checkup/examination users, yearly regular medical checkup services, computed topography (CT) scans, endoscopies (gastroscopies and colonoscopies) and other secondary examinations, and additional improvements to facilitate more comfortable medical examinations and care.
Furthermore, we are now open on Saturdays and Sundays; although our clinic is closed on Fridays, we are open from the weekend all the way through to the latter half of the following week.
Thanks to these convenient weekend hours, you can rest easy knowing that medical checkups and care are available before the next week to rolls around, rather than only on weekdays.
　We strive to be a warm and welcoming medical clinic offering a high degree of patient freedom. I will continue to pursue improvements in order to serve as your trusted, local family doctor.　It's my pleasure to help you!
