  • Kawahara Urology is a specialized urological medical facility in Kagoshima Prefecture. The clinic is led by Dr. Kawahara, who treats both adults and children with urological conditions. The facility stands out as one of the premier urology centers in the region, with patients specifically noting it’s “the best place in Kagoshima Prefecture” for urological hospitalization. The clinic offers both outpatient services and inpatient care. Dr. Kawahara speaks English, which is beneficial for non-Japanese speaking patients. The clinic opens early – patients report being able to check in from 8:30 AM despite the official 9:00 AM opening time. Patient experiences vary significantly – many praise the experienced doctors, polite staff, and clear explanations, while others note brief examinations and communication issues. The clinic accepts after-hours calls for urgent pediatric cases, as evidenced by a parent who called in the evening regarding their child’s condition.
