Patient reviews
Undisclosed patient
This time I was seen at Longhua Hospital for chronic gastritis. Dr. Wang was highly skilled, his pulse diagnosis was very accurate, and he was extremely patient and thorough in answering all my questions, which gave me great confidence in the treatment. After three months of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, my stomach pain and bloating have completely disappeared. A follow-up gastroscopy also showed that the mucosa had returned to normal. I am very grateful to Longhua Hospital for its excellent medical care!

I have had chronic gastritis for many years and often experience bloating and acid reflux, which has been very distressing. During this visit to Longhua Hospital, the doctor not only made an accurate diagnosis based on traditional Chinese medicine pattern differentiation, but also was kind and patient in manner, asking in detail about my daily eating habits. After two courses of Chinese medicine treatment, my bloating and acid reflux have improved significantly, and my appetite has basically returned to normal. I am very grateful for the doctor's skillful care and attentive support, which have helped me regain a healthy way of life!

I had been living with chronic gastritis for many years, often experiencing stomach pain, bloating, and severe acid reflux. At the beginning of this year, I came to Longhua Hospital for treatment after hearing about it from others. The doctor was very patient and thorough, asking in detail about my diet and daily routine, and also taking my pulse and examining my tongue coating. After one course of Chinese herbal medicine, my stomach pain was noticeably relieved, and my appetite improved as well. The doctor’s medical skills were excellent, and the attitude was kind and approachable, which gave me confidence in traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Now all of my indicators are gradually returning to normal. I am very grateful!

After a lung nodule was found during my physical examination, I felt very anxious and specifically booked an appointment with Dr. Zhang. Dr. Zhang was very thorough during the consultation. He not only analyzed the CT images professionally, but also reassured my emotions in a gentle tone. His medical ethics are admirable. After taking the traditional Chinese herbal decoction prescribed by the director for six months, my latest follow-up examination showed that the nodule had shrunk significantly, and my cough and shortness of breath had also improved greatly. Now I feel much more energetic overall.
