  • "Dermatologist available on Thursdays"
  • "English-speaking staff and doctors"
  • Norioka Clinic is a medical facility in Osaka that transitioned from the former Furukawa Clinic. The clinic maintains a strong reputation with a 4.7/5 star rating from 60 patient reviews. Dr. Norioka, though described as young, continues the patient-centered approach established by his predecessor, Dr. Furukawa. The clinic offers dermatology services, though the dermatologist is only available on Thursdays. The medical staff, including doctors and nurses, receives consistently positive feedback for their helpfulness and care quality. The clinic provides services to both local residents and foreign visitors, with pricing described as reasonable for tourists seeking medical care. The medical team excels at explaining diagnoses and treatment options in detail. One notable drawback mentioned in reviews is the reception staff, who are criticized for their cold demeanor and lack of customer service skills, creating a contrast with the otherwise positive clinical experience.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients praise Norioka Clinic for its helpful and kind medical staff, thorough explanations of medical conditions, and reasonable pricing for foreign visitors. The clinic receives particular recognition for its patient-centered approach, with Dr. Norioka continuing the care philosophy of the previous doctor. The dermatologist receives specific positive mentions. The main criticism centers on the reception staff, who are described as unfriendly, cold, and lacking customer service skills.

    English Language Proficiency

    Norioka Clinic offers confirmed English-speaking services. Multiple reviews specifically mention that the dermatologist speaks fluent English and is available on Thursdays. Other reviews note that "the whole staff" speaks English and that the doctor speaks "very good English." This makes the clinic particularly accessible for non-Japanese speaking patients seeking medical care in Osaka.
