I have had chronic gastritis for many years, with frequent stomach pain and acid reflux that have seriously affected my daily life. At the beginning of this year, I went to Shanghai Seventh People's Hospital for treatment. The doctor was highly skilled, and the pulse diagnosis was very accurate. The doctor was also extremely patient and thorough, asking in detail about my daily eating habits. After several months of traditional Chinese medicine treatment and acupuncture, my stomach pain has now been significantly relieved, my appetite has fully returned to normal, and all follow-up test results have been very good. I am very grateful for the doctor's careful treatment!

The child was accidentally scalded by boiling water and was diagnosed with a deep second-degree burn, which left the whole family very anxious. After coming to the Burn Department of Shanghai Seventh People's Hospital, the attending physician demonstrated excellent medical skills, performed wound cleaning and dressing changes with professional and gentle technique, and was extremely patient, comforting the child’s emotions with care each time. After more than a month of careful treatment, the wound has now fully healed, the skin condition is very good, and there is no obvious hypertrophic scarring. All indicators have returned to normal. We sincerely thank the doctor for their hard work!

Because long-term desk work caused a herniated lumbar disc, compressing a nerve and leading to numbness in my lower limbs. During my visit to the Rehabilitation Department of the Seventh Hospital, the doctor made a very accurate diagnosis and developed a detailed rehabilitation plan combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine for me. Throughout the treatment, the doctor’s massage techniques were highly professional and they were approachable, constantly reassuring my anxiety. After nearly two months of systematic rehabilitation, the numbness in my leg has now completely disappeared, my daily activities have returned to normal, and my quality of life has improved significantly.
