I have had chronic superficial gastritis for many years, with frequent stomach pain and bloating that have seriously affected my daily life. This year, I came to Shuguang Hospital for treatment. The doctor was not only highly skilled and accurately identified the cause of my condition, but also very patient and attentive, answering all of my questions in detail. After several months of traditional Chinese medicine treatment and dietary guidance, my stomach discomfort has now been significantly relieved. A follow-up gastroscopy showed that the mucosal inflammation had greatly improved, and the treatment outcome has been very noticeable. I sincerely thank the doctor for their excellent medical expertise!

I have had chronic superficial gastritis for many years, with frequent stomach pain and bloating that significantly affected my daily life. Earlier this year, I scheduled an appointment with a specialist at Shuguang Hospital. The doctor not only demonstrated excellent medical skills and accurately assessed my individual constitution, but was also very patient and thorough, asking detailed questions about my diet and daily routines. After several months of traditional Chinese medicine treatment and acupuncture, my stomach pain has improved significantly, and my appetite has also returned. A follow-up endoscopy showed a substantial reduction in mucosal inflammation. I am very grateful to the doctor for the attentive care and treatment.

After being diagnosed with hepatitis B, I was very anxious and came to the Department of Hepatology at Shuguang Hospital because of its reputation. My attending physician was highly experienced and provided excellent medical care, developing an individualized treatment plan combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine. At every follow-up visit, the doctor was very kind and patient in helping to ease my anxiety. After more than six months of standardized treatment, all my liver function tests have returned to normal, my viral load has decreased significantly, and the fatigue I had been experiencing has completely resolved. I am truly grateful!
