I'm sad to hear that this hospital is closing. Well, I'll go to Yahaba. I don't want this low-quality hospital to remain in Iwate forever. The doctors are so low-quality that they wouldn't be hired in other prefectures, and the local nurses have a terrible accent. I really hope they just disappear ????( ? ? ? )???°
The toilets on the first floor (near the dermatology department) have finally been replaced with Western-style toilets, which is great, but the parking fees are expensive. It costs 1,000 yen for a half-day examination. I wish they would make it 100 yen per parking spot, like the medical school in Yahaba.
I think they have the most trustworthy doctors in Iwate. The explanation of the surgery was very kind and patient-oriented, which put me at ease. Of course, post-operative follow-up is also impeccable, and even though the facility is old, …
My father was misdiagnosed. He was hospitalized for about a week for tests. Our family was shocked because the nurses didn't really listen to our family or our father's symptoms. The nurses' care was also sloppy. The doctor explained the …

I went to the neurosurgery department, but the female doctor, T, had the worst attitude. She wouldn't answer my questions but kept forcing her opinion on me. Her favorite phrase was always "Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare." She …
I visit the hospital regularly. The relocation has caused my treatment and consultations to be disrupted, which is inconvenient. If possible, I would like to receive treatment at the newly relocated Yahaba Main Hospital.
My child seemed to have been bitten by an insect, so I kept an eye on him, but he was in so much pain that he cried and complained in the middle of the night, so I took him to an overnight dermatologist. …
As a general hospital, it is always crowded. The doctors and nurses work hard, but I was sent around from one place to another so many times, which was very troubling. I wish they would communicate better.
I receive treatment at Uchimaru Medical Center. The building is old, but I'm grateful to have a facility nearby where I can receive advanced medical care. It's a blessing in an aging society.
