Our clinic, starting from November 2009, is located in the center of Rokko Island, Kobe City, Japan. 　Dr. Abe, trained both in Kobe University, Japan and in McGill University, Montreal, Canada, and experienced in treating patients from international community, provides outpatient orthopedic and rheumatologic medical care in English.
　Dr. Abe's medical service covers bone , joint pain and disorders; back pain and regional pain syndromes, full spectrum of rheumatology, osteoporosis and bone diseases, sports injury and its prevention.

　Essential part of orthopedic medicine and rheumatology, is primary care. We would like to provide the primary care in this field. In general, two important charactristics of orthopedic diseases and rheumatologic diseases are wide variability in course and chronicity. It is , therefore, essential to closely monitor the symptom and making every effort to individualize the medical problem and medical treatment to support the patients. When the patient's condition requires admission or referring to the specialists, we are fully prepared to introducing the patients to hospitals specialized in particular medical fields and English-speaking physicians. When a patient has some medical problems which should be seen by other physicians specialized in internal medicine, cardiologist, opthalomogist and so forth , I am happy to find a clinic suitable for foreign people in Kobe City and its surrounding region.　As an authorized member of Kobe City Medical Association, I would like to always pay attention to the clinics and hospitals where international patients may feel at ease receiving medical care in all fields of medicine.
　Our clinic is structurally designed for disabled people. Also, it can be accessible by wheelchair from parking area of the building(charged). It is located in the very center of Rokko Island, and easily accessible from Island Center Station.
