I am 18 or older, and I live outside Japan. I understand this is general information from a physician in Japan: not medical care, not a diagnosis, and not for emergencies. I have read the important information.

Request received

Thank you. I’ll reply within two business days.

Look for an email from Japan Medical Bridge with two or three proposed times and a payment link. If nothing arrives, please check your spam folder.

If anything changes suddenly before then — a severe headache unlike any before, weakness, or trouble speaking — call your local emergency services. This service cannot help in an emergency.

About the doctor Condition guides How it works Pricing Important information

Japan Medical Bridge provides general information about how neurosurgical conditions are typically treated in Japan. It is not medical care, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not create a doctor–patient relationship. In an emergency — sudden severe headache, weakness, or trouble speaking — call your local emergency services now.
