Dr.ANDOs ORTHOPEDIQUE CLINIC
Dr. ANDO’s Orthopedique Clinic sits on the third floor of the Kurihashi Building in Shinjuku 3-chome — walking distance from Shinjuku Station’s east exit. It’s a straightforward orthopedic clinic run by Dr. Ando, handling the usual suspects: back pain, joint issues, sports injuries, fractures, and post-surgery rehab.
What sets it apart for expats is the English-forward approach. The clinic’s website has meaningful English content, which already puts it ahead of most orthopedic practices in Tokyo. English communication is explicitly supported, so you’re not walking in hoping someone picks up a translation app.
It’s a private clinic, not a sprawling hospital, so expect a more personal setup — one main doctor, focused consultations, no getting lost in a maze of departments. Good for expats who need orthopedic care without the bureaucratic chaos of a big general hospital.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, no-nonsense consultation style — Dr. Ando takes time to explain diagnoses rather than rushing you out. Wait times are typical for a small private clinic: manageable on quieter mornings, longer if you show up mid-afternoon without an appointment. The clinic is compact, which some patients appreciate for the personal feel. Not a flashy setup, but people generally leave knowing what’s wrong and what to do about it.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
