This page is for patients with complex diagnoses requiring specialist hospital care or surgery. If you’re seeking TCM-based treatment for chronic conditions (typically without hospitalization), see our Chronic Conditions page.
Chronic ConditionsFor conditions that require more than surgery — ongoing treatment, multi-specialist coordination, or integrative Western and TCM protocols — China's top hospitals offer options not available in the US.
If you need a one-time surgical procedure (like joint replacement, spinal surgery, or eye surgery), see our surgical services page.
If you're primarily interested in TCM-only treatment for chronic conditions (like chronic pain, autoimmune disease, or insomnia), see our chronic conditions page.
These are the complex condition categories we most frequently coordinate. If your condition isn't listed, contact us — we'll assess whether we can help.
China's top oncology centers — including PUMCH, Fudan University Cancer Hospital, and Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center — deliver world-class outcomes for liver, nasopharyngeal, gastric, and lung cancers. Integrative protocols combine precision surgery and targeted therapy with TCM support to reduce chemotherapy side effects and support immune recovery.
China has made rapid advances in neurosurgery and neurorehabilitation, particularly in functional neurosurgery (such as deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's) and post-stroke recovery. TCM acupuncture and herbal protocols offer unique complementary value in neurological function restoration.
China's cardiovascular centers have extensive experience in coronary intervention, valve replacement, congenital heart defect correction, and comprehensive heart failure management. Fuwai Hospital is one of the world's largest cardiovascular specialty centers. TCM blood-activating protocols can complement post-operative cardiac rehabilitation.
China offers world-class capabilities in kidney transplantation, dialysis alternatives, and diabetes complication management. The integrative Western-TCM approach has accumulated unique clinical experience in slowing chronic kidney disease progression and managing diabetic nephropathy. Multiple domestic studies show herbal protocols can reduce proteinuria and protect residual kidney function.
China is home to some of the world's largest and busiest specialty hospitals — PUMCH (#1 overall), Fuwai (#1 cardiovascular), West China Hospital (#1 in Western China). Annual surgical volumes are often multiples of most US hospitals, meaning surgical teams have extremely deep experience with complex cases. Many procedures with months-long wait times in the US can be scheduled within weeks in China.
China is the only country that systematically integrates traditional medicine with modern Western medicine within the same hospital system. At institutions like Guang'anmen Hospital and Dongzhimen Hospital, cancer patients can receive chemotherapy and individualized herbal protocols from the same medical team. This level of true integrative care simply does not exist in the US.
China's medical system is known for speed. Turnaround from initial consultation to treatment start is remarkably fast. Advanced imaging like PET-CT and MRI typically delivers results same-day or next-day. Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) consultations can be arranged within one week. For time-sensitive oncology and cardiac cases, this speed can mean dramatically different treatment outcomes.
Our Comprehensive service package (from $9,800) is designed specifically for complex cases requiring ongoing treatment coordination. Here's everything that's included:
* Package fee does not include medical costs themselves (e.g., surgical fees, hospitalization, medication). Medical costs are charged directly by the hospital based on your treatment plan. We provide a detailed cost estimate after your initial consultation.
Send us your diagnosis and medical records. Within 48 hours, we'll give you an honest assessment — whether this is right for you, estimated costs, and treatment timeline. Completely free.
