Kazuyuki Uehara, director of the Motoyawata Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Clinic. He opened a clinic here because he wanted to support the health of everyone in Ichikawa-Yawata, the town where he grew up since he was a child.

He has been treating patients with heart disease at the Japanese Red Cross Medical Center. Among them, many had become severe enough to require hospitalization due to inadequate daily medical management. He felt the importance of a family doctor to maintain a healthy condition and prevent hospitalization. Many patients also have multiple diseases. The ideal family doctor is a doctor who can treat patients regardless of their specific specialty. Therefore, he completed general internal medicine at the General Medicine Department of the Nippon Medical School Hospital.

As a cardiologist, he can manage not only heart disease, but also hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and sleep apnea syndrome. Also, as a general physician, he can provide medical care suitable for people with multiple diseases.
