Uncaring, wrong diagnosis, never reachable, don't call back in time, brush you off if you have a serious problem - you name it. I stayed for one good gyn (left for better general physicians and dentist years ago) and when she left and I was given one of their recent German aquisitions who misdiagnosed me dangerously and afterwards didn't want to take over responsibility during my pregnancy - I left. ainst them, because it really got to another level. Currently big complaint filed agAm at American-Sino now and pleasantly surprised how clean and well organized it is! …it’s not just their billing system, the fact that they charge triple of what any other foreing clinic in Shanghai charges, the overall just completely “bu yong” attitude of their administration staff, it’s also that the doctors are simply BAD.

He spent three years with millions of dollars at Shanghai Gleneagles Medical Center and end up with zero patients due to his poor business stretegies, execution and market positioning. The buyout of World Link in 2007 was his saviour otherwise he would probably have been fired long ago. PW needs someone with operation experience and clear execution strategy. Good luck to PW....

Just because doctors are foreign, doesn't mean that patients should not seek out second opinions. Fraud is a bit harsh, but problems with equipment, coupled with Junior doctors can lead to mistakes. @Paul Salo
Indeed, you bring up an important point. Just because doctors are foreign, doesn’t mean that patients should not seek out second opinions. Fraud is a bit harsh, but problems with equipment, coupled with Junior doctors can lead to mistakes.

I think, too, that the health care industry in China, foreign owned and local, is in its embryonic stages and will continue to get better. But, maybe looking at foreign standards of private care is not enough, since those models tend to make the folks in the hospital "money minded". @Shanghai Resident

The financial crisis in combination with the Chinese gov visa policies since the Olympics have made it next to impossible to run a hospital for Overseas insurance holders. Really run down. And I have great respect for United. It must be a very tough market indeed. Recently went to Parkway at People's Square with a friend and the doctor told her she had a broken foot. Luckily she had a second opinion in Australia and it was, in fact, not broken. Either outright fraud or misdiagnosis, you decide. Either way, not good. I have noticed that the Chinese hospitals are getting better and better, however. Have had serious issues twice at Chinese hospitals and quite happy with the results.

Overcrowded, slow, incompetant money minded medical staff. When something good comes along, like all else in China -ITS TEMPORARY and ALL COSMETIC.
