Patient reviews
Undisclosed patient
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 a ventricular septal defect, a congenital heart condition, and our whole family was extremely anxious. Fortunately, we met the expert team here. The doctor was not only highly skilled, but the surgery was also very successful, and the doctor was extremely patient, answering all of our concerns in detail. Recovery after the operation was very fast, and now all follow-up heart and lung indicators have returned completely to normal. Our child has regained their usual liveliness, and we sincerely thank 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!
Undisclosed patient
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.

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.
