Patient reviews

I recently visited Zhujiang Hospital for a follow-up consultation due to a long history of chronic glomerulonephritis. The attending physician was highly professional, making precise adjustments to my medication in response to fluctuations in my proteinuria levels. The doctor was approachable and very patient, providing a detailed explanation of my pathology report. After a week of standardized treatment, my edema has significantly subsided, and my biochemical indicators are gradually returning to normal. I am confident in my continued recovery.

I sought treatment at the Department of Nephrology at Zhujiang Hospital due to chronic nephritis. The attending physician demonstrated a high level of professionalism. The treatment plan was adjusted based on precise drug susceptibility testing, reflecting excellent clinical expertise. During ward rounds, the physician was approachable and patiently addressed every inquiry, providing significant reassurance. After nearly a month of treatment, proteinuria levels have returned to near-normal ranges, and edema has completely resolved. The treatment outcomes have exceeded expectations.

My child was diagnosed with pediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia and was hospitalized in the Pediatrics Department of Zhujiang Hospital. The doctors demonstrated professional expertise and accurate judgment regarding the condition, treating the child with great care and gentleness, which alleviated the parents' anxiety. Under the attentive care of the medical staff, the child's high fever has completely resolved, lung crackles have significantly decreased, and the latest imaging examination shows good resolution of the lesions. Discharge is scheduled soon.

Our honest position
We are not a hospital or a clinic
MedicalToChina is an independent medical travel information and patient coordination service. We do not employ physicians and we do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Zero marked-up medical fees
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
Hospital listings are based on public accreditation data and our own research, not on referral commissions. We disclose how we make money on our About page.
Medical disclaimer
Nothing on this page is medical advice. Always consult a licensed physician before making decisions about diagnosis, treatment, or travel for care.
No outcome guarantees
We never promise specific medical results. Outcomes depend on your condition and your doctors, not on us. Any service that guarantees a result is not being honest with you.
Your data, your control
We only share your medical records with hospitals you choose, and only with your consent. We do not sell your data, and we do not pass it to third parties for marketing.
