Yodoyabashi Medical Clinics

Thank you SO much to the kind doctor and staff at this clinic. A 61 year old on a 3 week holiday in Japan, I had tell-tale signs of a urinary tract infection and had tried a local over the counter medicine for 2 days but it made no difference. I knew I needed antibiotics. From arriving at the opening time, to having my urine tested (yes, high white blood cell count) to seeing the delightful doctor who spoke good English, to being prescribed AND given a course of antibiotics, to settling my account, took only 50 minutes. The front desk staff do not speak much English but there are standard forms to fill out which help them to appropriately assist you. Yes it was expensive at 39000 yen (including my medication) but when you're sick, you're sick, and I can claim it back on my travel insurance. I would have paid whatever it took to make sure I could continue to enjoy my holiday. I was feeling pretty poorly. Thank you so much - it was such an easy and pleasant experience to visit this clinic.

Got the appointment here through my international travel/health insurance.
Staff were friendly and explained everything.
Doctor was patient and explained everything in detail in very good English. Treatment was on highest level. Didn’t have to pay anything because of insurance (don’t unterstand all the negative reviews of people complaining about paying for stuff if seemingly just coming in without insurance).

Great doctor speaks fluently English.
Can do x-Rays and influenza testing. On a walk in basis.

Was really happy that I found this place.

Don’t go 30 min before closing as they send you away.

Great place to go if you are a foreigner in the Osaka area. I was here on a trip and fell ill. I walked into this clinic at open (10AM) and walked out with the antibiotics I needed by 11AM. The doctor speaks great English and is very polite. The staff does not speak English but thanks to a series of premade forms and QR codes they have prepared in English the whole process is very streamlined and painless. Just be sure to bring your passport. I paid $400 as I do not have Japanese health insurance but it’s a price I would gladly pay for this peace of mind.

I had a great experience at this clinic as a tourist. I had been sick for over a week, and had already seen a different doctor elsewhere, but the prescriptions were not helping. The internal medicine consult was quick & easy as a walk-in, the staff was friendly, and the doctor spoke very good English. He was very kind and worked hard to understand my situation. There was an additional fee (for foreigners only, I believe), but they tell you this up front and I was okay with the cost. Lastly, they kindly emailed me my bill a few days later once I had gotten home and realized I lost the physical copy. Thank you for the great experience!

If you are an English speaking visitor or resident I highly recommend this place. It was so easy and honestly reasonable for the cost. I pay the same in Australia for a Dr so seeing an English speaking Dr in Osaka was just so easy and worth the cost. He also was able to help sort my issue immediately.

Excellent clinic! The reception staff were extremely thorough about how their system works, including payments and insurance. Yes there was a charge for English service which I don’t agree with (and it has put me off returning) but as a foreigner living in Osaka, when you’re really struggling with a medical problem.. a good English speaking doctor is hard to find, so that extra fee didn’t matter so much. The staff behind the reception counter spoke excellent English. The doctor himself was amazing! He had an excellent bedside matter, spoke perfect English, was thorough and took his time listening to me and explaining everything in detail. I’m really glad I found this clinic and would highly recommend it.

Very nice clinic. The doctor was very attentive and helpful. They took their time and did all necessary tests. Great service.
(People are complaining about the translation fee. I went through my travel insurance so I didn’t see any charge)

I travel from Kyoto to visit this clinic.It's easy to find from the station. The staff are friendly and helpful. Most importantly I found the Doctor extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient. Moreover, his English ability is at a very high standard. It's comforting to know I have this clinic to visit when I need to.

The staff and the doctor were highly professional and attentive. Speaking English to the staff member assigned to foreign patients and speaking to the doctor was easy there was no problem at all communicating with them. Facilities were clean, modern and despite being very busy (he had 8-9 other patients in the waiting room) spacious enough to fit everyone with no issues. Billing was efficient and reasonable (it’s highly regulated in Japan - so any claims of over-billing by anyone else is likely to be fraudulent). Very satisfied with this clinic and I would recommend it to anyone who needs an English speaking doctor in Osaka.

Reasonable price compared to other hospitals/clinics for foreigners. Also the quality of the medical technique is terrific.
Explicit interpretation, kind and warm-hearted staffs.
I think it’s difficult to find such a hospital that can deal with us, foreigners, in Japan like here. If I have something in the future, I would definitely swing by this hospital again.

Great service and able to consult in English!

レビューみて月曜日夕方に診察受けましたが、待ち時間もなくとっても丁寧な対応でした。
アンチがレビュー書いているとしか思えないんですが、、、
本当に非の打ちどころ無かったです。

前立腺肥大の疑いがあったので、診察してもらいました。予約はなく電話の時点で検尿の案内など受けた。スムーズに案内してもらい、受付の人も愛想もいいですし、好印象でした。
診てもらった先生も親身に話を聞いて下さり、安心できました。
薬も効いて順調に回復してます。
ありがとうございました。

Esta es la clínica a la que me dijo que vaya el seguro médico que contraté y he recibido un trato muy bueno tanto por parte de las chicas que estaban en recepción como por parte del médico (habla inglés) que me atendió, muchas gracias por todo.
