Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right surgeon for my condition?
Start with your diagnosis and required specialty. Each of Discovery China’s three partner hospitals has super-specialist teams — for example, Huashan for oncology and spine, Ruijin for joint replacement and fertility, Zhongshan for cardiac and oral surgery. If you have a complex case, our medical concierge team can arrange a pre-travel file review so the most appropriate specialist assesses your scans before you travel. Use the “Request this surgeon” button on any profile to get started.
Will my surgeon speak English?
All surgeons on this page have been assessed for English-language communication and carry a confirmed capability flag. In practice, your Discovery China medical concierge attends every consultation, theatre session, and discharge meeting to translate clinical detail in real time. You will never be left without a way to communicate with your surgical team. Many of these surgeons have trained or collaborated internationally and publish in English-language peer-reviewed journals.
Can I request a specific surgeon before I travel?
Yes. Every surgeon profile above includes a “Request this surgeon” button that opens our consultation form with your preferred specialist pre-selected. Discovery China confirms availability directly with the hospital’s international patient office. Note that some surgeons have limited theatre time due to research commitments, so early booking is recommended — ideally 4–6 weeks before your intended travel date.
Are these surgeons operating at JCI-accredited hospitals only?
All surgeons on this page operate exclusively at JCI-accredited hospitals in Shanghai — Huashan Hospital (Fudan University), Ruijin Hospital (Shanghai Jiao Tong University), and Zhongshan Hospital. These are China’s highest-rated institutions for international patients, holding JCI accreditation continuously for over a decade. All operating theatre teams, ICU staff, and anaesthetists are trained to the same international standards.
