横川医院 －Yokokawa Clinic－ A Message from Dr. Toshio Yokokawa Clinic Director
The Yokokawa Clinic was founded on December 25, 1950, by our first director, Dr. Tsuguo Yokokawa, and the clinic has since been contributing to local and regional medical needs.
I succeeded him in this position in September 1999 and have always done my best for our patients and our staff.
The clinic is only a 5-minute walk from Kojiya Station on the Keikyu Line. Most of its patients are local residents and office workers, ranging from infants to the elderly.
Also, because of our proximity to Haneda Airport, an increasing number of its employees have been using our services.
