OAK Ladies Clinic

The OAK Clinic in Namba is a very ordered and precise place, and you can usually get in and out in about 60 minutes.

After you register, just sit and relax on the wall long sofa, wait for your number to be called, and enter the room specified. There is a constant flow of ladies going in and out of different doors like musical chairs, so wear comfortable clothes, and take as little as possible.

The many doors are labeled in English and Japanese.

Counseling Room.
Treatment Room.
Consultation Room.
Examination Rooms A and B.

It is full of all sorts of women, which makes it an interesting people watching place, although like the bath house, there isn't much eye contact, and pretty much no chit chat between the patients.

Go as early as you can before opening hours to speed up the order of your consultation. Boys are not allowed past the waiting room either FYI.

There are two English speaking female doctors on staff to make (a little) of the anguish of gynecological consultations smoother.

Take your health care card, and something to read.

Oak Clinic is easy to find on the 8th floor of Namba Parks Tower, so if you aren't a doctor kinda person, there is plenty of fun and distraction to be had after your consultation as a reward.

Opening hours and other vital information can be found on the English website.


Happy health and harmony.
