I sought treatment at the Department of Neurosurgery at Xuanwu Hospital for hemifacial spasm. The surgical advice provided by the physician was professional, and the microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery was immediately effective. The medical staff were diligent and conducted frequent ward rounds. The treatment outcome was excellent, and the facial twitching I had experienced for years has finally ceased. The hospital environment is clean, and the patient navigation process is clear. It is a professional and well-regulated medical institution.
