Our child was diagnosed with congenital heart disease soon after birth, and the whole family was extremely anxious. Fortunately, we met this doctor at Shanghai Children’s Medical Center. He not only patiently and thoroughly explained the surgical plan and helped reassure us, but the surgery itself was performed with great skill. It has now been three months since the operation, and our child has recovered very well. At the most recent follow-up visit, all cardiac indicators had returned completely to normal. We are truly grateful to the doctor for saving our child’s life.

Our child was diagnosed with congenital heart disease (ventricular septal defect), and the whole family was extremely anxious. After coming to Shanghai Children's Medical Center, the doctors made an extremely accurate diagnosis, patiently reassured us, and explained the minimally invasive surgical plan in detail. The surgery went very smoothly, and the doctors' skills were excellent. Postoperative recovery was very fast, and the recent follow-up echocardiogram showed that all indicators have fully returned to normal. Our child is now energetic and active. We sincerely thank the doctors for their excellent medical expertise and admirable professional ethics!

My child had a persistent cough for a long time and was later diagnosed here with pediatric asthma. The doctor’s diagnosis was very accurate and did not prescribe unnecessary medication; instead, they provided a highly professional stepwise treatment plan. At each follow-up visit, the doctor was very gentle and patient in guiding my child. After several months of taking the medication as prescribed, my child’s asthma symptoms have improved significantly. There have been no further attacks during the recent seasonal change, and sleep quality has improved greatly. It has been a very satisfactory medical experience.
