A general practitioner is part of a relatively new specialty system in Japan. GPs have the \u201cgeneralist\u201d skills to diagnose and treat across many fields\u2014such as internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, and dermatology. They serve as the first point of contact<\/strong> when you\u2019re unsure which department to visit, and act as a hub<\/strong>, referring patients to specialists when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among them, Dr. Moroi and Dr. Ito are also trained as family physicians<\/strong>, focusing on primary care in community clinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc67 Family physicians<\/strong> work closely with individuals and families in the community. They care for patients of all ages\u2014from babies to the elderly\u2014support not only treatment of illness but also prevention of lifestyle diseases, mental health, home care, and even long-term care. They serve as lifelong partners in health, often described as doctors who support you \u201cfrom cradle to grave.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our director often says: But it\u2019s not only about assists.

\ud83c\udfc0 \u201cI used to play point guard, so I\u2019m good at passing the ball.\u201d<\/em>
In other words, our mission is to make the best \u201cassists\u201d for our patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When needed, we also \u201ctake the shot\u201d ourselves\u2014making diagnoses and providing treatment directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Some may wonder why a clinic takes on so many areas\u2014but this wide perspective is exactly what general practitioners are trained to bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We want to help you live every day healthier, stronger, and more beautiful.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
