I have had type 2 diabetes for many years, and my blood sugar has been very poorly controlled recently. I came to the Department of Endocrinology at Ruijin Hospital after hearing about it. Dr. Wang was not only highly skilled, but also quickly adjusted my treatment plan with a combination of insulin and oral medications. He was also very patient and answered all of my questions about diet in detail. After half a month of treatment, both my fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels have returned to the normal range, and I feel much better overall. I am very grateful!

I had been very anxious after a health check found a thyroid nodule, so I came to Ruijin Hospital for care. The doctor was very patient and thorough during the consultation, accurately assessed the nature of the nodule, and developed a minimally invasive surgical plan. The operation went smoothly, and the doctor’s technique was excellent, with a very small incision. Recovery after surgery was very fast, and symptoms such as the sensation of a foreign body when swallowing have now completely eased. All follow-up thyroid function test results have returned to normal. I sincerely thank the expert team at Ruijin Hospital for their excellent medical care!

When a family member was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, our whole family felt desperate and came to the Department of Hematology at Ruijin Hospital. Director Li and the team demonstrated a very high level of professionalism, and the chemotherapy plan was precise and effective. During the hospital stay, the doctors and nurses provided attentive care, which gave us great emotional reassurance. The first treatment cycle has now been completed, and the bone marrow aspiration results show that all indicators have improved significantly. The condition has been brought under effective control, and we have seen hope again.
