How This Shanghai Clinic Became an Expat Favourite
From dental care to health check-ups, China’s medical services are becoming a new reason people choose to stay local. For many international residents in Shanghai, reliable, high-quality healthcare is now just one appointment away.
Medical Tourism in Shanghai is Booming
From dental care to health screenings, China’s privatised medical services are fast becoming a new reason people choose to stay local. With culturally-sensitive, efficient, high-quality, and cost-effective healthcare, our international clinic has quietly become a top choice — not only for visiting travellers, but also for resident foreign professionals and their families.
Located at 800 Huashan Road in the heart of tree-lined downtown Shanghai, Am-Sino Dingxiang Medical Center has become a trusted name among the international community. Backed by over 20 years of experience in international medical care, globally aligned clinical standards, and one-stop, multi-specialty services, it is now widely recommended among expatriates as a place where they can truly feel at ease.
Including Family Medicine, Endoscopy, TCM therapy, Dental care and Orthodontics, Pediatrics and Vaccinations, Ophthalmology, and more… the one-stop service covers all the needs of the family.

Truly Borderless Healthcare
As a flagship international clinic under Am-Sino Healthcare Group, Am-Sino Dingxiang Medical Center has focused on providing top quality international medical services since day one.
In 2025, international patients accounted for 24% of total visits, an 89% increase year-on-year, serving patients from 76 countries and regions worldwide — connecting the world through professionalism and compassion.
From the moment you step inside, clear bilingual signage sets the tone. Front-desk nurses can communicate in English, Japanese and Korean, helping to ease the anxiety that often comes from language barriers abroad.
Following this up is a truly international medical team. Am-Sino Dingxiang Medical Center’s physicians and therapists bring together Chinese and overseas training backgrounds and nationalities, combining local clinical experience with international best practice. Our clinicians provide care in multiple languages, including English, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, and Cantonese- ensuring clearer communication, cultural understanding, and informed care.
The clinic also provides professional medical interpretation services and issues bilingual medical reports that follow internationally recognised formats. Many reports can be issued within 48 hours, making it far easier for patients to handle visa matters, insurance claims, or continuity of care overseas.
Even more reassuring: Am-Sino Dingxiang Medical Center partners with 40+ major insurance providers, offering direct billing services for eligible clients. This reduces the need for cash payments and complicated reimbursement delays for many international patients.

What are people saying?
With a focus on culturally-sensitive service and medical excellence, it’s no surprise that so many international patients have contributed genuine, heartfelt stories of care.
Dental Care:
The dental department offers comprehensive services including orthodontics, restorations, and root canal therapy, combining precision care with excellent value — exactly what many international families look for.
"Dental treatment in China — the value exceeded all expectations."
Mark, an American professional working in Shanghai, struggled with recurring wisdom tooth infections. In the US, extraction and follow-up care would have cost thousands of dollars and required months of waiting.
At Am-Sino Dingxiang, the entire process from examination to extraction took just 40 minutes. The dentist communicated clearly in English throughout and provided post-treatment care instructions in both English and Chinese.
“Gentle, efficient, and affordable — it barely affected my work schedule,” Mark says. Today, his whole family comes here for cleanings and orthodontic care.
Ophthalmology
"Bilingual care made all the difference for our child."
A British couple noticed their 5-year-old son Leo was squinting while reading, but they worried about language barriers affecting his vision assessment. At Am-Sino Dingxiang, the ophthalmologist conducted a full vision and refraction exam in clear English, ultimately diagnosing a mild astigmatism.
The doctor explained the findings, even supplementing the explanation with hand-drawn diagrams, and provided a bilingual care plan.
Leo’s parents later shared: “The doctor spoke to Leo with kindness and compassion, and directed the conversation to an appropriate child level, and Leo enjoyed the whole process!”
The family now schedules routine eye checks every six months.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
"Acupuncture and tui na finally gave me a good night’s sleep."
Thomas, a German executive, had suffered from insomnia and chronic neck pain due to long-term work stress. At the TCM department, the physician assessed his condition and designed a combined acupuncture and tui na treatment plan, explaining each acupoint in English.
After one treatment course, his sleep improved noticeably, and the tension eased. Today, TCM sessions at Am-Sino Dingxiang have become his personal “health recharge station.”
Endoscopy
"Painless and efficient, with quality bilingual reports."
Yuki, a Japanese teacher, had long postponed a gastroscopy due to concerns about complicated procedures. At Am-Sino Dingxiang, she was guided throughout in Japanese, completed a painless endoscopy under sedation, and later received a bilingual report explained in Japanese.
“The process was smooth, the report was useful internationally, and I could easily share it with my doctor in Japan,” she said.
Gynaecological Screening
“A bilingual report with all clear results — my greatest reassurance.”
Emily from Australia has a family history of gynaecological cancer, making annual cervical screenings emotionally challenging. At Am-Sino Dingxiang Medical Center, the doctor carefully explained each step in English and performed the exam gently and professionally.
When the results arrived, the doctor didn’t just confirm that everything was normal — she also outlined future follow-up priorities based on Emily’s personal and family history, giving her both reassurance and confidence in her own healthcare management.
“The privacy, professionalism, and ability to share bilingual reports with my doctor back home gave me real peace of mind.”
Aesthetic Medicine
“Natural, safe, and quietly transformative.”
Sophia, a French student, wanted to reduce facial lines. Instead of jumping to treatments, the doctor performed a high-resolution skin analysis, explained the causes of dynamic wrinkles, and designed a plan combining micro-dose neuromodulators and hyaluronic acid fillers.
“The result looks effortless,” Sophia says. “They understood the subtlety of effect I was aiming for — it feels more like advanced skincare than a cosmetic treatment.”
