Dr. Jiwu Chen

"I accidentally fell while cycling, causing a torn anterior cruciate ligament, torn collateral ligament, and acute pain in my left knee. When I saw that Dr. Chen had clinic the next day, I booked an appointment right away. Because we had traveled from another city, Dr. Chen reserved enough time for a full evaluation. After confirming that surgery was needed, he arranged a ward that same day and organized a team to provide professional care, so the patient could ask questions at any time. The surgery has now been completed and went very smoothly. After the operation, there were also explanatory videos that helped the patient feel reassured."

"Four years ago, I began having locking in my right hip. It would ease within a few minutes, but groin pain remained. My local hospital did not provide special treatment. Over the years, the groin pain came and went, and occasional locking could partly improve with rest and medication. One day in 2023, I had a severe locking episode that took 45 minutes to relieve. I was later diagnosed locally with bilateral femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, and several hospitals said surgery was needed. I then visited Professor Chen, scheduled surgery, and underwent right hip acetabuloplasty, labral repair, femoral head repair, and joint debridement. The pain improved significantly after surgery. Throughout outpatient visits and hospitalization, I deeply felt Dr. Chen’s care for patients and the professionalism and efficiency of the whole team."

"I had a right shoulder tendon tear for nearly two years. I had tried conservative treatment before, but it did not solve the problem, and I remained in constant pain. Professor Chen treats patients warmly, like family, and always thinks from the patient’s perspective. He carefully asked about my condition, explained how it might progress, and advised me to solve the problem at its source in order to truly relieve the pain. I accepted his recommendation and had minimally invasive surgery. Before the operation, Professor Chen reassured me not to be nervous. The surgery was very successful. Recovery has been good. At the two-week follow-up, he examined me carefully again and repeatedly reminded me to do rehabilitation exercises every day. It has now been one month since surgery, and I feel better and better."

"Two years ago, I had repair and suturing surgery for a torn meniscus in my right knee. In January this year, pain returned on the outer side of the right knee, and MRI showed another tear with edema. I went to the Sports Medicine Department of Shanghai General Hospital to see Dr. Chen. He is highly experienced and performed my meniscus repair as the first surgery on the second morning after admission. By noon the day after surgery, my right foot could already touch the ground, and there was no pain at all. I was discharged on the afternoon of the third postoperative day to recover at home. Before discharge, Dr. Chen also created a rehabilitation plan based on my surgery, so I only needed to follow it carefully. Overall, recovery has been excellent. I later had the stitches removed at my local hospital, and the wound healed very well."

"I had an old left shoulder injury for many years. Because of limited function, I was examined at Shanghai General Hospital and, after evaluation and diagnosis, scheduled for minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery. The entire process, including examinations, admission arrangements, and surgery, was coordinated by Dr. Chen’s team. Dr. Jiwu Chen performed the operation himself, and it was completed in about half an hour. The swelling and pain subsided within three days. Arthroscopic treatment carries low risk and causes very little trauma, so recovery was quick. I feel fortunate about the choice I made."

"After my first outpatient visit with Dr. Chen, he asked about my medical history in detail and reviewed my imaging studies, then arranged surgery for the following month. Before the operation, he noticed that I was very nervous and gently reassured me, which immediately helped me relax. The surgery went smoothly. Afterward, I followed the instructions step by step for exercise and follow-up visits, and overall recovery has been very good. I am truly grateful for Dr. Chen’s outstanding surgical skill. He is definitely a good doctor with technical strength, responsibility, and generosity, and he is also very handsome."

"I found Dr. Chen while searching for sports medicine. Sports medicine is a specialty that few people in our local area have heard of, and I did not know which doctor to choose. I looked up journal articles and information from sports medicine societies, and then discovered that Dr. Chen is truly remarkable. He is a well-known sports medicine specialist in Shanghai and was previously a professor and director at Huashan Hospital. For patients like us coming from other provinces, Dr. Chen’s team can also arrange hospitalization and surgery quickly, which solved the problem of having to travel back and forth many times."

"It has been more than a year since my hip labral repair, and I am very grateful to Dr. Chen for performing the surgery. My quality of life improved greatly after the operation. Before surgery, my hip would hurt after walking only one or two thousand steps. But this July, when I accompanied my family to the hospital, I walked more than 10,000 steps in one day and only felt slight warmth. I cannot say there is no sensation at all, but I am very satisfied with the surgical result. Dr. Chen not only performs surgery well; he is also personally involved in rehabilitation guidance and provides free rehab advice, which I sincerely admire. I still recommend Dr. Chen’s follow-up care to people around me. During later recovery, I often consulted him through messaging, and he always replied promptly, which made me feel very secure. I had some anxiety during recovery because of family pressure, and my originally optimistic mindset gradually broke down. During that time, Dr. Chen’s encouragement gave me great comfort and confidence. We often say that a good doctor sometimes cures, often helps, and always comforts. In my heart, Dr. Chen is exactly that kind of doctor. I wish him good health and continued success."
