I visited Dongzhimen Hospital for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment due to a long history of chronic atrophic gastritis. The attending physician conducted a precise syndrome differentiation, prescribed a targeted herbal formula, and provided detailed instructions on dietary restrictions. After two months of treatment, the burning sensation in the stomach was significantly alleviated, and my appetite improved. A follow-up gastroscopy in 2026 indicated that the inflammation had subsided. The physician's professional expertise and approachable manner have given me confidence in my recovery.

I visited Dongzhimen Hospital for consultation due to a long history of chronic atrophic gastritis. The attending physician demonstrated excellent medical expertise and implemented a precise treatment plan using Traditional Chinese Medicine. The physician was not only amiable and patient in answering questions but also exhibited a high level of professional competence. After two courses of TCM treatment, symptoms of gastric distension and acid reflux have essentially subsided, and my appetite has improved significantly. Follow-up examinations indicate an improvement in the condition of the gastric mucosa, and my overall physical condition has recovered very well recently.

The child suffers from pediatric tic disorder and received treatment at the Department of Pediatrics of Dongzhimen Hospital. The doctor was very thorough and provided a comprehensive intervention combining acupuncture with traditional Chinese medicine granules. The doctor showed great patience with the child, which alleviated our anxiety. Currently, the symptoms of frequent blinking and throat clearing have significantly decreased. The latest feedback from early 2026 indicates significant effectiveness. The overall diagnosis and treatment process was professional and patient-centered.

I sought treatment from an orthopedic specialist at Dongzhimen Hospital for a lumbar disc herniation that had troubled me for years. The diagnosis was decisive and accurate. The physician demonstrated skilled proficiency in manual manipulation combined with acupuncture. The doctor was meticulous throughout the process and provided detailed instructions for daily rehabilitation. Currently, the lower back pain has significantly alleviated, the numbness in the lower limbs has disappeared, and normal walking ability has been essentially restored. This medical experience in early 2026 has given me full confidence in Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics.
