My child was diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and as a parent, I was very anxious. Director Mai was extremely professional and patient during the consultation. Director Mai not only provided detailed answers to my questions but also guided me on how to support the treatment and advised against blaming the child. My child's symptoms have now significantly improved. I am truly grateful.

My child was born with congenital ptosis. Following Dr. Xiang Daoman's recommendation, we opted for inpatient surgery. We were initially very concerned, but the surgical outcome was excellent, and our child's eyes now look very natural. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Xiang's exceptional surgical expertise, which has resolved a major concern for our family.
