Department leadership

Director of Neurology

A department head is an organizational role. “Chief physician” is a professional rank; the two are listed separately. Roles should be reconfirmed before a consultation.

Education & professional training

Xi’an Medical University graduate, 1992; doctorate awarded in 2001
Clinical neurology training in Melbourne, Australia, 2018

Only explicitly documented qualifications and training are included. A visiting appointment is not a degree.

Surgical & procedural expertise

Cerebrovascular diagnosis, treatment and neurovascular intervention

Diagnostic & treatment focus

Epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, headache and vertigo care

Published procedure descriptions are not a complete operative log. Expertise is distinguished from documented experience; neither establishes suitability or outcomes for an individual patient.

Advanced care & documented cases

These are selected published accounts of clinical work. Each entry distinguishes the physician’s documented role from the wider team’s work. They are not outcome guarantees or a complete operative record.

Selected research publications

Selected papers are matched to the clinician using author and affiliation records. Research findings, especially laboratory or animal studies, do not by themselves establish treatment effectiveness in people.

Before arranging care

Confirm the clinician’s current hospital, role, specialty fit, consultation route, language arrangements and availability directly with the hospital. A public profile does not establish acceptance of your case or a relationship with YituCare.
