After being diagnosed with a pituitary tumor, I had been very anxious and came to Huashan Hospital’s Department of Neurosurgery after hearing about it from others. Dr. Zhao was not only highly skilled, but also developed a detailed minimally invasive surgical plan for me and was very patient in answering all of my questions. After the surgery earlier this year, I recovered very well. On my recent follow-up visit, all hormone levels had returned completely to normal, and the symptoms caused by pressure on my vision had also completely disappeared. I am truly very grateful to the medical team at Huashan Hospital!
