Director Profile
Director Dr. Hideki Mitooka
We offer all gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures available as outpatient services and the highest level of medical care for every patient.
"What kind of treatment would I want to receive if I were the patient?" This is the question I always ask myself when giving medical treatments. We, at Ashiya Mitooka Clinic provide a "patient-first" approach with courtesy and perfection for each one of our patients.
Gastrointestinal endoscopy should not be considered a once-in-a-lifetime inspection. Rather, it should be performed periodically, which may lead to early detection of cancer, and allow for endoscopic resection without abdominal operations. Therefore, we believe that the procedure should be easy and painless, allowing the patients to relax in confidence.
With the highest level of expertise which we have established over many years as endoscopy specialists, using state-of-the-art equipment including magnifying endoscopy, we offer the best medical care using methods such as conscious sedation and contrast chromoscopy, using an indigo carmine(dye) capsule.
Our clinic seeks to provide superior medical care specializing in endoscopy.
