Yanase Clinic

About

Yanase Clinic, located in Hamamachi, Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, is a medical facility that provides comprehensive care centered on gastroenterology led by endoscopy specialists. The clinic's distinguishing feature is its high level of expertise in gastroenterology. Vice Director Yutaka Yanase holds certifications as a specialist from the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology, the Japan Society of Hepatology, and the Japanese Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, providing care for a wide range of digestive system disorders including those affecting the stomach, intestines, and liver. The clinic actively performs endoscopic examinations for patients who require further evaluation after barium tests, those diagnosed with H. pylori infection, or those with positive fecal occult blood tests. For patients who feel anxious about examinations, sedation options are available to minimize discomfort. Beyond gastroenterology, the clinic also addresses lifestyle diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes, as well as sleep apnea syndrome (snoring and sleep apnea clinic), fever outpatient services, and various vaccinations, serving as a community primary care provider. For influenza diagnosis, the clinic has introduced AI diagnostic equipment 'nodoca,' enabling painless testing that only requires photographing the throat. The clinic also places emphasis on home visit medical care for patients who have difficulty visiting the facility. Clinic hours are available both morning and afternoon on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, with Saturday morning-only consultations. A large parking lot accommodating over 20 vehicles is available, and the facility is barrier-free, creating an accessible environment for elderly patients and those with physical disabilities. Credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments are accepted, offering convenient payment options.
