Long wait times
In the U.S., average waits to see a GI specialist are often 3–6 months — months of symptoms before testing can even start.

For U.S. patients dealing with ongoing bloating, suspected SIBO, chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, or possible IBD, we help assess whether a Shanghai-based GI workup is worth considering — before you make travel decisions.
We are a medical travel facilitator, not a hospital. Medical decisions are made by licensed physicians and hospital teams.
We want the right people to move forward — and the wrong people to opt out early.

Common reasons patients start a conversation with us.
Bloating, gas, post-meal discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, food-triggered symptoms, or long-term IBS-like patterns without a clear workup.
Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic diarrhea, blood in stool, abdominal pain, flare concerns, or incomplete follow-up.
Patients who have already seen providers but still do not have a clean next-step plan, timeline, or coordinated testing path.
Not every case is suitable for international care. That is why the first step is screening, not booking.
We handle everything — flights, hotel, hospital appointments, translation, transportation, and follow-up care.
Share your symptoms and medical history. We'll assess if our program is right for you and provide a detailed plan.
Flights, 5-star hotel, hospital appointment, bilingual medical companion — all arranged for you.
SIBO breath test or IBD workup at Renji Hospital's International Wing. Same-day results and treatment plan.
Around your core hospital day, the 7-day structure includes coordinated local transport, hotel stays, and paced city days — recovery and buffer time, not a full week in the hospital or nonstop sightseeing.
Fly home with your diagnosis, prescriptions, and English medical records. We provide follow-up support for practical next steps after you return.
Many patients first feel these U.S. GI friction points — then ask whether a coordinated Shanghai workup could be practical. Not about sightseeing.

SIBO testing, a full IBD workup, specialist visits, and initial treatment in the U.S. can total roughly $2,000–$10,000+ with limited insurance coverage in many cases.
Typical U.S. range: $2,000–$10,000+
Referral chains, multiple appointments, and prior authorization — the U.S. system can turn even a simple breath test into an obstacle course.
Often requires: 3–5 visits
Figures are typical ranges from patient reports and public wait-time data; your city, plan, and case may differ.
Travel and logistics are discussed only after screening suggests the case may be appropriate.
Clear limits help you know what you are — and are not — signing up for.
