KATAOKA Orthopedic Surgery and Plastic Surgery Clinic

KATAOKA Orthopedic Surgery and Plastic Surgery Clinic sits on the second floor of the Daisanji Yoshino Building in Nishi-Kasai, covering both orthopedic and plastic surgery under one roof. That’s a useful combo — think broken bones and skin repairs in the same place rather than two separate referrals.

The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation at reception. Nishi-Kasai is actually one of the more expat-accessible parts of Edogawa — there’s a sizable international community nearby — so the clinic may have more experience with non-Japanese patients than average, but that’s not confirmed.

For plastic surgery specifically, this covers reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. If you’re dealing with a wound, scar, or post-injury repair rather than elective cosmetic work, this kind of clinic is exactly the right destination. Bring a translation app as backup regardless. It’s a local neighborhood clinic, not a big hospital, so expect shorter wait times and a more direct doctor relationship.
