I made an appointment with a specialist at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine due to a long history of chronic eczema. The physician demonstrated a high level of professionalism in diagnosis and treatment, prescribing a Traditional Chinese Medicine formula based on syndrome differentiation. During the consultation, the physician was amiable and patient, taking the time to review my medical history, which provided a sense of comfort. After two weeks of treatment, the symptoms of skin itching were significantly alleviated, and the skin lesions began to heal. Current indicators are gradually returning to normal levels. The efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine is truly evident. I am very grateful for the physician's meticulous care.

Due to a long history of chronic atrophic gastritis, I made an appointment with a specialist at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The specialist demonstrated a high level of professional expertise. Following a thorough examination involving pulse diagnosis and tongue inspection, a targeted prescription was provided. The doctor was approachable and patiently addressed my inquiries regarding dietary restrictions. After one month of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment, symptoms of abdominal distension and acid reflux have significantly alleviated. A recent follow-up gastroscopy indicated an improvement in the mucosal condition. The treatment outcome has been notable, and I am very grateful for the doctor's attentive guidance.

I consulted a dermatology specialist this February regarding recurring eczema. The physician demonstrated exceptional clinical expertise, immediately identifying the underlying cause, and was highly professional and attentive, providing detailed instructions on the sequence for applying topical medications. After two weeks of combined oral and topical treatment, the previously red, swollen, and itchy areas have largely healed, with scabs falling off, and the skin barrier is recovering rapidly. This experience has given me great confidence in Traditional Chinese Medicine for treating dermatological conditions.
