I received treatment at the Department of Cardiology, Xiyuan Hospital, for palpitations and chest tightness caused by long-term coronary heart disease. The physician demonstrated excellent clinical skills, with precise treatment based on syndrome differentiation. The prescribed traditional Chinese medicine formula proved effective. During the consultation, the physician was extremely patient and provided detailed explanations regarding daily precautions. After two courses of treatment, cardiac discomfort has significantly alleviated, biochemical indicators have returned to normal, and my quality of life has improved. I am sincerely grateful for the physician's meticulous care.

The child suffered from Henoch-Schönlein purpura, and the recurrent episodes were distressing. After seeking treatment at the Pediatrics Department of Xiyuan Hospital, the condition was effectively controlled. The doctor's diagnosis and treatment were very professional, providing a detailed medication plan and explaining complex dietary restrictions with a kind and approachable manner. After a period of Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment, the child's rash completely subsided, urinalysis results returned to normal, and there have been no recent signs of recurrence. Our whole family is deeply grateful for the doctor's expertise and responsible attitude.

I visited the Department of Cardiology at Xiyuan Hospital due to a long history of coronary heart disease. The physician demonstrated exceptional clinical expertise and adjusted the herbal prescription through meticulous syndrome differentiation and treatment. The medical staff were courteous and patiently addressed all my inquiries. After two months of medication, recent follow-up examinations showed significant improvement in symptoms of myocardial ischemia. The frequency of chest tightness and palpitations decreased significantly, and my physical strength has gradually recovered. The treatment outcome exceeded expectations.
