Getting care in China sounds great — until you actually try.
The medicine is excellent and inexpensive. The system around it is the hard part — and it assumes you read Chinese.
- The booking apps are in Chinese and ask for a local phone number.
- No one at the public hospital speaks English — least of all in the consulting room.
- You pay at a separate window for registration, for each scan, for medicine.
- You fly home with receipts your insurer won't accept.
- And you can't tell whether the clinic is any good in the first place.
We handle all of it, so you don't have to.
Three reasons people come. One team that handles everything.
Dental
The most common reason foreigners fly inImplants, crowns, veneers, and cleaning by vetted dentists — for a fraction of what you'd pay at home, with the same implant brands and equipment used in the West.
Full-body health check
The simplest way to come and see how we workA comprehensive checkup — imaging, full bloodwork, cancer markers — completed in one or two days, from around $200. You leave knowing your numbers, in English.
Complex & specialist care
Something specific, or a diagnosis you already haveSurgery, orthopaedics, urology, eye / LASIK, traditional Chinese medicine, or a particular condition — send us your case and we'll build a plan, with a second opinion if you want one. Start with a remote case review →
Everything around the treatment is handled.
You make decisions. We do the logistics, the language, and the paperwork. See all services & pricing →
The right hospital, selected for you
Vetted dentists and JCI-accredited or Class-3A partner hospitals — not whoever ranks on Google.
Appointments booked for you
No Chinese apps, no local SIM card, no queueing at 6am. Registration and scheduling, handled.
Your case, explained in English
We translate your records and quote before you fly, and translate the diagnosis and treatment notes afterwards — so nothing important reaches you only in Chinese.
Records you can use at home
English diagnosis, treatment notes, imaging, and a proper fapiao (official tax invoice) for insurance reimbursement.
Payment, sorted
Foreign cards often fail at public hospitals. We guide you through payment or coordinate it on your behalf.
Travel, if you want it
Airport pickup, hotel, and a recovery itinerary on request — so you can focus on getting better.
The same work, at a fraction of the price.

What would your treatment actually cost?
Pick what you need and where you're coming from. The range updates as you go — and it comes from the same sourced price tables we publish in full, not from a sales page.
You're not booking a stranger off the internet.
We arrange care at China's leading hospitals — Class-3A (三甲) institutions, top dental hospitals, and accredited screening centres — and match you to the right one for your case.
Widely-recognised institutions across China, shown for orientation — not necessarily contracted partners. We recommend and arrange the right facility for your case.
How we vet every hospital and doctor
You never get a random name off the internet. Every recommendation clears the same bar:
Class-3A (三甲) or accredited only
We prioritise top-grade public hospitals and accredited specialist centres — never an unvetted clinic.
Matched to your exact case
The right specialist and department for your specific condition — not a generic referral.
English pathway confirmed
An international/VIP department or English-capable clinicians, so you understand every step.
Credentials shared up front
We send the doctor's background and experience before you commit to any appointment.
What you'll leave China with
Everything your own doctor and your insurer will ask for.
- English treatment & health summary
- Itemized fapiao for insurance reimbursement
- Your imaging & full medical records
- A handover note for your doctor back home
