[Director] Heima Sakaguchi
Greeting
Hello, my name is Heima Sakaguchi, the director of Kyoto Station Sakaguchi Pediatrics & Heart Clinic.
Located conveniently within Kyoto Station, our clinic provides medical care for pediatric heart diseases and congenital heart disease patients who have reached adulthood.
We specialize in arrhythmia management (including cases detected during school checkups and pacemaker management) and adult congenital heart disease.
Of course, we also provide general pediatric care, so please feel free to consult us.
Our clinic can also respond to acute illnesses in children requiring oxygen therapy or those with tracheostomy care.
During my graduate studies, I researched food allergies and have since spent over 20 years dedicated to pediatric cardiology.
While focusing on improving children’s health, I often felt helpless seeing developmental challenges arise during hospitalization and treatment.
Children’s cognitive development is especially critical once they begin group life at school.
Through our clinic — a more accessible setting than large hospitals — I aim to provide early support for developmental variations in children.

Greeting
My name is Hikari Miike, and I am responsible for general pediatric and adult care at this clinic.
While working with Dr. Sakaguchi at the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, I felt a strong desire to support patients and their families more closely in their daily lives.
This led me to join this clinic, where I aim to provide comprehensive care in a more family-oriented setting.
Drawing on my experience in both pediatric and general internal medicine, I hope to contribute to the health and well-being of our community.
