Seeking an Endocrinologist in Beijing/Shanghai

[kdavid]

Does anyone know of a good endocrinologist in either Beijing or Shanghai? A friend's mother is having some serious issues, and the doctors here in Harbin aren't helping.

In particular, we're looking for someone who specializes in the thyroid and thyroid-related diseases.

If you're looking for western doctors, I'll throw this out there on the off-chance that it might help:

See http://www.ufh.com.cn/en/

The United Family Healthcare has several hospitals in Chinese cities. Beijing United in the Beijing neighborhood I used to live in is their hospital in Beijing. At least it was 5 or 6 years ago.

Understand that when I lived in Beijing, it was with my parents who were expats, so I'm fairly certain that their company was paying for whatever medical expenses/insurance we had while we were there. It may be pricey.

We have many friends who had life-threatening illnesses/heart attacks/etc. that were cared for well.

You may consider trying some of the hospitals connected to top universities. I can't give any individual recommendations, but the doctors at hospitals connected to Fudan University seem to know what they are talking about.

协和医院 here in BJ has an excellent overall reputation, though I don't know about their strength in endocrinology. Would she be willing to make the trip here, or just seeking a consultation using lab results and a phone call?

I don't know anything about the hospitals in Beijing but http://www.haodf.com...7WXwOozZ55v.htm seems to recommend 协和医院 too.

Edit: and there is a list of the top doctors as well.
