Kotodai Station (Namboku Line) - 2 min walk from Exit 1
  • English-speaking support available
  • Friendly and caring staff

    • This Osaka emergency clinic presents a mixed picture for international patients. While they offer general emergency medical services, the experience can be challenging for non-Japanese speakers. The clinic uses translation tools to bridge the language gap, but communication issues are frequently reported. Some patients have found the front desk staff particularly difficult to work with, though the doctors generally receive better feedback for their patience and effort to explain treatments. With a 2.5-star rating from 270 reviews, it’s clear that experiences vary significantly. Consider this clinic for minor emergencies if you’re in the area, but be prepared for potential communication challenges.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient experiences vary dramatically. While some praise the doctors’ patience and medical care quality, many report significant issues with front desk staff and language barriers. Several reviews mention difficulties with basic English communication, despite translation tools being available. Some tourists report feeling unwelcome, while others appreciate the staff’s efforts to provide care despite communication challenges.

    English Language Proficiency

    English support is limited and inconsistent. The clinic relies on translation tools rather than fluent English-speaking staff. While doctors attempt to communicate with international patients, front desk interactions can be particularly challenging. Bringing a Japanese-speaking friend or translation app is highly recommended. Written materials and forms are primarily in Japanese.
