Before arranging neurosurgery in China

Explain your main question and prepare the diagnosis, imaging timeline and any previous neurological treatment.

Start with a clear review question

Tell us the diagnosis if known, what you have already tried and which reports are available. We help identify the relevant specialist pathway and records needed for hospital review.

Confirm the assessment and estimate

Ask which subspecialists need to review the case, which decisions require an examination and how neurological, endocrine or rehabilitation follow-up would connect with your existing care. Hospital acceptance, the actual clinical scope and any separately agreed coordination fee need confirmation before booking.

Choose the next step that fits

You can enquire about an opinion, a specialist appointment or treatment arrangements. An optional records-based specialist review is agreed separately; an initial enquiry does not commit you to a paid service.

Anatomy mattersTumor or vessel location often determines the appropriate subspecialist.
Function mattersSpeech, movement, vision and cognition should be considered in planning.
Imaging mattersOriginal MRI, CT, angiography and prior scans are essential.
Team mattersComplex cases may need neurology, oncology, radiology and rehabilitation.
