Facilities
Transnasal endoscope for the upper gastrointestinal tract：EG-6400N
This is an ultra-thin gastrocamera (nasal endoscope) made by Fujifilm with a tip diameter of 5.8 mm that is passed through the nose. Compared to a thick gastrocamera (oral endoscope), it is less painful and less likely to cause the vomiting reflex. It is also possible to perform an examination through the mouth using this ultra-narrow gastrocamera (nasal endoscope).
Magnifying endoscope for the lower digestive tract：EC-6600ZP
This is the latest colon camera manufactured by Fujifilm, which is inserted through the anus. It is equipped with a magnifying observation function, making it possible to detect diseases such as colon cancer at an early stage. In addition, if a polyp is found, it is diagnosed based on the surface structure and vascular structure using a magnifying endoscope, and is then removed on the spot.
Endoscope（6000system）
This is the latest endoscope system manufactured by Fujifilm. It is equipped with multiple high-output LED lights and appropriate image processing functions, supporting early detection of diseases.

Greetings from the Director
When I first became a doctor, I worked at a university hospital, where I experienced many diseases including neurology, cardiology, thyroid, endocrinology and diabetes, and hepatology, and then specialized in cardiovascular diseases.
In particular, as a certified doctor and instructor of the Japanese Society of Cardiovascular Intervention, I performed cardiac catheterization and coronary angioplasty, as well as many emergency medical procedures.
I use that experience to practice as a general physician, determine which specialty I belong to, and work with the appropriate specialist department to provide treatment.
Before opening my own clinic, when I was examining patients at Minami Osaka Hospital, a core hospital in the region, a patient told me, "I want you to continue to treat me," which prompted me to open my own clinic here.
Now, 20 years after opening my own clinic, I can now work more closely with patients as a general physician than when I was examining them at the hospital, and I find it rewarding to provide outpatient care that allows me to provide continuous treatment without changing the patient's doctor.
I will continue to strive to be a clinic that is close to patients, providing advice on the many problems they face, and can also provide advanced medical care in cooperation with hospitals.
Endoscopy Doctor
I have performed tens of thousands of endoscopic examinations and thousands of endoscopic treatments, mainly at Osaka International Cancer Institute, one of Japan's leading cancer hospitals.
I strive every day to provide the highest quality endoscopic examinations. I am particularly confident that I am second to none when it comes to "less painful endoscopic examinations" and "high quality endoscopic diagnosis and treatment."
I will continue to work hard to reduce the number of patients who avoid endoscopic examinations because they are "painful," and to reduce the number of patients in this area suffering from stomach and colon cancer, even if only by one.
Doctor: Yuki Okubo
