International licensed physicians and allied health therapists such as physiotherapists and occupational therapists are available in Shanghai. The international medical community specialized in Orthopedics and Physical Medicine is not very extense but here is a list of the most recommended ones and whose credentials have been verified.
DO know that unlicensed and non professional international providers are common in Shanghai as the city´s demand for cheap healthcare is growing and medical license control is often misconducted. Professional quality medical services are expensive elsewhere as it is also in Shanghai. Most professionals working in international facilities are fully licensed in their own countries but be aware of independent providers that call themselves doctors, physical therapists, specialists… Always ask for credentials and don´t be ashamed of asking questions about their academic and professional backgrounds.
If you ever experience or know that someone is or has been providing medical services without any kind of medical and academic education please inform us so we can help ensure a professional and safe medical community.
