Salutation.
In May of 2004, in the newly-constructed Kobe Clinic Building, a new internal medicine practice opened its doors. I have great pleasure in being able to have such a playground in the beautiful city of Kobe where I was born and raised.

After graduating from Kobe University Medical School, I first served at the Kobe University Medical Center followed by service at Rokko Hospital, Kinosaki Hidaka Public Hospital and Miki Municipal Hospital.

In my time as a physician, I have been blessed with countless precious opportunities to meet, spend time with and talk to a great number of patients. Also, as a clinical physician I have been able to gain a wealth of experience with my research and study into hypertension. At Kobe University Medical School my studies allowed me to specialize in the treatment of circulatory diseases (hypertension, heart disease, arterio-sclerosis, high blood fat etc) and respiratory diseases (chronic bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, breathing difficulties etc.).

Also, on the other hand taking charge of a ningen dock (human dry dock) with its preventive medicine and the palliative care in terminal cancer,have been able to gain a broad viewpoint toward general internal medicine.

In my 20-odd years as a doctor, I have been able to accumulate abundant experience and knowledge. From now on, my aim is to continue to embrace my dream realization of ideal medical treatment and happiness for all patients with my slender means and make it my lifes work to master this concept.
