The French Chef Who Found His Surgeon in Shenzhen
“I trust Dr. Wang and his team. Wherever they go, I follow.”
Louis Montreux, a French executive chef at a hotel in Futian, was diagnosed with a retrosternal thyroid tumor measuring 8 cm — large enough to compress his trachea. The diagnosis required urgent surgery.
Dr. Wang Yuanyang, a thyroid surgeon at Shenzhen People's Hospital Longhua Branch, communicated with Louis entirely in English — reassuring him, designing a personalized surgical plan that removed the tumor like "pulling a carrot," avoiding the need to split the sternum.
The surgery took approximately 80 minutes and was completed successfully, with no damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve or parathyroid glands. When Louis woke up, Dr. Wang joked: "Bad news — your voice won't sound like Batman's."

Louis's story shows that the right doctor — one who speaks your language and truly cares — can change everything. As your medical escort, I can help you find and connect with such specialists, handle all communication, and ensure you feel supported every step of the way.

The American Woman Who Avoided a Hysterectomy — 656 Fibroids Removed
“I've finally left 23 years of pain behind. And I kept my hope of becoming a mother.”
Anna, a 35-year-old American patient, suffered from severe dysmenorrhea for 23 years. Doctors in the US recommended a complete hysterectomy. But Anna, who was unmarried and wanted to have children, was devastated.
A friend in China suggested she try a different option. Anna traveled across the globe to Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, where Professor Wu Ruifang and her team performed an innovative PUSH surgery — developed after 15 years of research.
During a 5-hour operation, they removed 656 uterine fibroids while completely preserving Anna's uterus and restoring her fertility. The PUSH surgery technique has now been successfully performed on over 550 patients.
