Pediatrics

Department of Pediatrics

We provide general clinical care to children from infants and children ages 0-15 (Some are 16-18 years old). If your child has a very special or complex problem, we can refer your child to a specialist who can provide the care your child needs. Most of the time, children can be treated by our pediatricians. We seek to promote a health-empowering community, by engaging community partners and collaborating with primary care networks to deliver patient with the best possible outcome. Those patients who are referred from primary care physicians can take priority over the patients without referral. We offer weekday and weekend appointments, Monday through Saturday, between 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. We provide general outpatient care in the morning for those who wish to be seen by our pediatrician without presenting a referral*. In the afternoon, our specialized outpatient clinic centers can provide professionals who are experts in their fields of practice including, pediatric cardiologist, pediatric neurologist, newborn/toddler specialists, pediatric allergy specialist, pediatric nephrologist and immunization clinic. If you or your child feel that he/she is having a medical emergency, call us or come to see us even in the afternoon hours. We can see your child without presenting a referral*. A pediatric provider is available in acute care to see patients with acute problems from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm on Sundays and holidays. If your child has an urgent issue after 5:00 pm, our emergency department staff will contact the on-call pediatrician if necessary, so that your child can be admitted on the same day or come for a follow-up appointment the following day with one of our pediatricians.
*Please note that you may require to pay an additional fee called “SENTEI RYOYOHI” in addition to regular medical expenses those who do not present a referral from another medical institution.

We treat common illnesses in childhood including pneumonia, bronchitis, gastroenteritis, asthma, and neonatal jaundice and less common childhood illnesses including Kawasaki disease, epilepsy, nephrosis, anaphylaxis, purpura, low birth weight babies.

Specialized Clinics

We provide a follow-up check for abnormal EKG test results or heart murmur at school, further test for chest pain, palpitations, Kawasaki disease and heart diseases that were found while your child was admitted right after the child was born. Echocardiography, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, exercise stress electrocardiogram, 24-hour electrocardiogram, and other tests are available. If your child requires cardiac catheterization, treatment or surgery, we refer you and treat your child with a partnership with the pediatric department at Gifu Prefectural General Medical Center.

Outpatient Neurology Clinic

We focus on treating the patient with a chronic neurological condition like epilepsy. We strive to provide personalized, compassionate and attentive care with a partnership including children's specialized medical institutions at Gifu Prefectural General Medical Center or Gifu University Hospital.

Outpatient Newborn/Toddler Clinic

Our outpatient newborn/toddler clinic provides one-month physical check-ups for newborns who were born in this hospital and follow-up on the growth and development of premature babies, low birth weight babies, and babies who require regular check-ups due to other illnesses. The babies who are born under 36 weeks' gestation who are eligible for vaccination against RS virus infection, we provide Synagis shot during the epidemic period of RS virus infection.(Dr. WAKAHARA Atsushi)

Outpatient Nephrology Clinic

The outpatient nephrology clinic focuses on the further examination and follow-up of the patients whose abnormalities were found at three-year health check or school urine screening.
Early detection and appropriate treatment can help protect child’s kidneys. In addition to treating urinary abnormalities such as hematuria and proteinuria, we also provide kidney-related treatment such as urinary tract infections, congenital renal urinary tract abnormalities such as hydronephrosis, and renal function abnormalities. If your child requires a further examination such as kidney biopsy, we may refer your child to the pediatrics department at Gifu Prefectural General Medical Center. ( Dr. YUZAWA Sotaro)

Outpatient Allergy Clinic (1)

Our outpatient allergy clinic provides treatment for allergic diseases such as food allergy, atopic dermatitis, and bronchial asthma. For a food allergy, we conduct an inpatient oral food challenge test.(Dr. NISHIWAKI Ayako)

Outpatient Allergy Clinic (2)

Our outpatient allergy clinic provides treatment for allergic diseases such as food allergy, atopic dermatitis, and bronchial asthma. For a food allergy, we conduct an oral food challenge test (inpatient settings can be arranged), a prick test and blood test. Because of the possibility of a severe reaction, an oral food challenge should be conducted only by experienced allergists in a doctor’s office, with emergency medication and equipment on hand. We seek to promote a health-empowering community by engaging community partners and collaborating with primary care networks to deliver what we are capable of including emergency and urgent serious medical issues 24/7 and inpatient care for the peace of mind of the community.
