Emergency English Medical Information Centre 06 4395 0555 and 03 5285 80888 (i think the Tokyo number covers Osaka on national holidays) Emergency Poison Info Centre 072 727 2499 (Japanese only)

Dr. Matsunaga at Ohkita Clinic in Umeda is WONDERFUL!!! http://www.ookita.com/

AY clinic. Located above Yotsubashi station exit 3 I think. http://www.ay-clinic.com 06-6110-7005 The doctors can speak English and they also have a medical interpreter.

There is a place across from Tsuruhashi station (exit 1; 4 th floor above Family Mart). They can communicate in English.

Here's something that might help: http://www.pref.osaka.lg.jp/en/life/medical/emergency_clinic.html

Ask at whatever clinic you usually go to for a referral. They will probably give you a few choices. I had an MRI at Yodogawa Christian Hospital because I was getting frequent migraines. It was close to where I lived at the time. The MRI costs about 8000 yen with insurance. It is big modern hospital near Souzenji Station. They did a follow-up MRI a few months later and were able to prescribe daily medication which non-specialists aren't allowed to do.
