Coming to China for treatment? I'll get you seen — and stay with you through it.

I'm Brian. I help international patients get an appointment at a Chinese hospital, understand what the doctors say, and get through the day without being alone in a language you don't speak.

Email me How it works

Send me your medical records and the city you'd like to visit. I'll tell you what's possible and what it costs — before you commit to anything.

What I do

Get you an appointment

I match your case to a hospital and department that accepts international patients, and book the appointment.

Translate, in the room

English–Chinese medical translation during consultations, tests and follow-ups, so nothing gets lost.

Stay with you

Airport pickup, hospital accompaniment, and help with the paperwork and payment steps.

Three ways to be seen in China

Chinese hospitals run three different routes. Which one you use depends on your case — not on what someone wants to sell you.

PriceSame as local patientsHigherRoughly 3–10× public prices
EnglishUsually not availableLimitedUsually available
WaitingLonger queuesShorterShorter, scheduled slots

Check-ups and outpatient visits usually go through the first two. Surgery and inpatient care usually go through the international department.

What it costs

US$1,399 per patient · up to 3 days

Included: hospital appointment booking, medical translation, accompaniment during visits, airport pickup and drop-off.

Not included: medical bills, flights, hotel, visa fees.

How it works

  1. You send me your medical records, and roughly when you'd like to come.
  2. I take them to a hospital and get a doctor's assessment.
  3. You receive a written plan with the hospital's quote and my fee.
  4. You choose the route, and pay the US$500 deposit to lock the appointment.
  5. You sort your visa (or check whether you need one), and book your flights and hotel.
  6. You land. I meet you and stay with you through the visits.

Do you need a visa?

Citizens of the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and most EU countries can currently enter China visa-free for up to 30 days. Visitors from the United States need a visa.

Visa-free entry can't be extended, and visas take 4–6 weeks. Check your own country's current rules before booking anything — policies change.

What I can and can't do

I can

  • Get you an appointment with the right department
  • Translate between you and the medical team
  • Be with you in the hospital, start to finish
  • Pick you up and drop you off at the airport
  • Explain the paperwork and the payment steps

I can't

  • Promise you a medical result
  • Pay or cover your medical bills
  • Guarantee anyone a visa
  • Give medical advice — that's the doctor's job

Questions people ask

Is it safe to be treated in China?

Large Chinese hospitals are modern and busy, and many departments routinely treat international patients. The right department depends on your case — that's what the assessment step is for.

I don't speak any Chinese. Is that a problem?

No. That's most of what I'm there for: everything that's said between you and the medical team goes through me.

Can my family come with me?

Yes. Family members can usually accompany you; tell me how many so I can plan for it.

Can I use my insurance?

Most international insurance plans don't pay Chinese hospitals directly. You'll usually pay the hospital and claim it back at home — I'll get you an itemised invoice for that.

Start with your records

Email me what you have — scans, reports, a diagnosis, or just a description of what's going on and the city you'd like to visit. I'll reply with what's realistic.
