Notice: OIST Clinic will be closed on May 1st (May) due to the doctor’s schedule.

(Important!) A series of scandals of medical product manufacturers, mainly generic drugs, have significantly hindered the supply of pharmaceuticals. Newly opened clinics are unable to purchase basic medicines such as cold medicines, cough suppressants, and antipyretics. Therefore, please understand that we cannot test for infectious diseases until medicines are available, and out of clinic prescription is available.

Consultation

• Internal medicine/Psychiatry

• Secondary examination of health checkup

*The clinic treats people aged 18 and over.

*Blood/urine tests, electrocardiograms, and ultrasound tests can be performed at the clinic.

*Only blood and urine tests can be performed as secondary tests of the health checkup.

*To prevent the spread of infection, patients with cold like symptom will be examined in the second half of the clinic hours. General internal medicine and psychiatric examinations will be conducted also during the second half of the period. Please understand this.
