My name is Yurika Fujiwara, and I’m the pediatrician at this clinic.
The Fujiwara Kid’s Clinic was built as an addition to the Akikusa Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic in 2004.
Over my 11 years working at a university hospital and related facilities, I learned about general pediatrics, pediatric emergency care, neurological disorders, and child development. I also met many patients, which allowed me to see the diversity of childhood developments and types of households.
Since opening the clinic, I’ve been completely focused on my work, thanks to the support of my patients. In the midst of this, the COVID-19 pandemic reared its ugly head, changing the medical care environment in a large way. With the rapid increase in digitization, optimization, and the amount of information available to them, our children’s environment changed day by day too, bringing more and more worries to families with children. It’s precisely because we live in such an age that I am dedicated to supporting my patients in every way I can through my medical practice.
It’s been almost 20 years since the clinic opened. The ability to watch and support so many children as they grow is one of the happy blessings of being a pediatrician. Along with this blessing, however, is a heavy responsibility to continue my work. Our children are the city’s future. My hope is to be able to give my all as a health partner protecting our children’s smiles and building a brighter future. I and the clinic’s staff hope to continue working with you all for many years to come.
