I developed sudden severe kidney stones that caused renal colic, so I went to the emergency department of Tongren Hospital’s Urology Department overnight. The doctor was experienced and made a rapid, accurate diagnosis, then immediately arranged extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for me. Throughout the treatment, the doctor demonstrated excellent clinical skill, worked gently, and patiently asked about how I was feeling, which greatly relieved my pain. At my follow-up ultrasound, the stone had been completely passed, and all urinalysis results had returned to normal. I am very grateful for the doctor’s timely treatment.

I have had chronic gastritis for many years, with frequent stomach pain and acid reflux that have seriously affected my daily life. At the beginning of this year, I was seen in the Department of Gastroenterology at Tongren Hospital. The doctor was not only highly skilled, but also accurately assessed the extent of my gastric mucosal damage. The doctor was also very patient and attentive, and answered all of my questions in detail. After several months of standardized medication and dietary adjustments, my stomach pain has now completely subsided. A follow-up gastroscopy showed that the mucosa had returned to normal. I am very grateful for the doctor’s careful treatment!

I have had chronic gastritis for many years and often suffered from acid reflux and stomach pain, which was very distressing. During this visit to Tongren Hospital, the doctor made an accurate diagnosis. They not only asked in detail about my daily dietary habits, but also patiently and thoroughly explained the precautions for taking my medication. After this period of standardized treatment, my stomach pain has significantly improved, and the acid reflux has basically disappeared. Overall, I have recovered very well. I am very grateful for the doctor's excellent medical skills and high professional ethics!
