I suffered from severe cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, with long-term numbness and pain in my hands that seriously affected my sleep. I came to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital after hearing good things about it. The attending doctor was highly skilled, accurately identified the site of nerve compression, and was very patient and attentive, answering my concerns in detail. In the end, he performed a minimally invasive surgery for me, and the operation was very successful. I am currently recovering well after surgery, the numbness in my hands has completely disappeared, and all indicators have returned to normal. I am deeply grateful for the doctor’s compassionate and skillful care!

After being diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, I had been feeling very anxious, but fortunately I met a very responsible doctor at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. During the consultation, the doctor was extremely thorough, accurately assessed the stage of my condition, patiently reassured me, and developed a standardized treatment plan. After several months of medication and recovery, my joint pain has now been significantly relieved, and at follow-up, all of my immune markers have essentially returned to normal. It truly gave me renewed hope for life. I am grateful!
