Patient reviews

My mother has severe gallstones and often suffers from unbearable abdominal pain. We came to Huadong Hospital for treatment. The attending physician not only had excellent medical skills and arranged a minimally invasive surgery for my mother, but also was extremely patient and attentive. Before the operation, the doctor explained all of our concerns in detail. It has now been two weeks since the surgery, and the treatment results have been very significant. My mother’s various indicators have all returned to normal, the abdominal pain has completely disappeared, and the incision has healed very well. We are very grateful to the doctor for both skill and compassion!

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes several years ago, and my blood sugar has not been well controlled recently. I booked an appointment with a specialist in the Endocrinology Department of Huadong Hospital, and the doctor made an accurate diagnosis. In addition to adjusting my diabetes medication regimen, the doctor patiently guided me on daily diet and exercise precautions, with a kind and approachable manner. After more than a month of standardized treatment, both my fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose have now stabilized within the normal range, and I feel much better overall.

We do not add a margin to your hospital bill. You pay the hospital's own official international department rate, the same price a local patient would see. Our fee is a transparent service package, billed separately and shown to you in writing before you pay.
Independent editorial, no paid placements
