Higashiguchi Hospital is a specialty facility dedicated to gastrointestinal surgery and gastroenterology, with a particular focus on surgical treatment of benign conditions including inguinal hernia, cholelithiasis, and varicose veins of the lower extremities.

We are also actively committed to offering sedation-assisted upper endoscopy and colonoscopy to minimize patient discomfort.

Our guiding principle is to perform surgery without making patients wait, and our 39-bed scale allows us to operate with the flexibility and responsiveness that larger institutions often cannot provide.
