Shirasawa Orthopedics
Shirasawa Orthopedics sits on the second floor of Miyashita Building in Koenji, a neighborhood in Suginami that’s well-connected and easy to navigate. It’s a standard neighborhood orthopedic clinic — the kind that handles sports injuries, back pain, joint problems, and post-surgery rehab rather than anything surgical on-site.
The website has some English-language elements, which suggests some awareness of international patients, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation. The actual English capability at reception and with the doctor is unconfirmed. If your Japanese is limited, come prepared with a translation app, written notes about your symptoms, and any relevant imaging or records from a previous provider.
For expats in Suginami or the Koenji area dealing with musculoskeletal issues, this is a reasonable local option worth knowing about — but go in with realistic expectations about the language situation and confirm before your visit if English support matters to you.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a functional, no-frills neighborhood clinic. Wait times appear typical for a local orthopedic practice — sometimes quick, sometimes a wait depending on the day. The doctor seems thorough on diagnosis and practical on treatment recommendations. It’s not a concierge experience, but patients generally feel their physical complaints are taken seriously and addressed properly.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
