Patient reviews
Undisclosed patient
I sought treatment at the Department of Neurosurgery at Xuanwu Hospital for hemifacial spasm. The surgical advice provided by the physician was professional, and the microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery was immediately effective. The medical staff were diligent and conducted frequent ward rounds. The treatment outcome was excellent, and the facial twitching I had experienced for years has finally ceased. The hospital environment is clean, and the patient navigation process is clear. It is a professional and well-regulated medical institution.

Our child was brought to the Department of Neurology at Xuanwu Hospital due to seizures. The specialist demonstrated exemplary professional conduct and exceptional clinical expertise; the medication adjustment plan developed was meticulous. Regarding patient care, the physician provided detailed instructions on daily precautions. The treatment outcomes have been stable, with a significant reduction in seizure frequency. This clinical experience has given us great hope for recovery.

The chief complaint was mobility impairment caused by lumbar disc herniation. I received minimally invasive treatment at the Department of Orthopedics, Xuanwu Hospital. The attending physician demonstrated high technical proficiency, and the surgery was successful. The physician was approachable and conducted multiple follow-up visits post-surgery. The treatment outcome was significant; I was able to walk on the second day after surgery, and the pain has essentially subsided. This reflects the advanced expertise of Xuanwu Hospital in the field of neurospine. Thank you very much.

Consultation and treatment for cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The physician demonstrated high professional standards and provided a comprehensive explanation of the risks involved in interventional surgery. Despite the high patient volume, the physician was attentive during ward rounds. The treatment outcome is stable, and post-operative follow-up results are within normal ranges. I appreciate the professional care provided by the medical team at Xuanwu Hospital; their clinical expertise is highly advanced.
