I sought treatment at The First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University for chronic sinusitis. The attending physician was highly skilled and precisely addressed the lesion through minimally invasive surgery. The doctor was approachable and patiently explained the cause of the condition during the consultation. Post-operative follow-up showed good nasal airflow, and the runny nose symptoms have completely resolved. My recovery has exceeded expectations, and I am very grateful for the doctor's professional care.
