Dr. Fei Li (李斐) - Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician

Personal Biography

Dr. Fei Li is a Chief Physician and Professor specializing in developmental and behavioral pediatrics in Shanghai. She serves as Vice President of Xinhua Hospital and Director of its Department of Developmental Behavioral Child Healthcare, where her clinical work focuses on autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental disorders, and related behavioral concerns.

Dr. Li also directs the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Children’s Environmental Health and is a Distinguished Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her research examines genetic and environmental mechanisms underlying developmental disorders, and she is one of 16 Senior Mentors worldwide for the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR).

Why Consult Dr. Fei Li for Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics?

Dr. Fei Li combines senior clinical leadership at Xinhua Hospital with focused expertise in developmental and behavioral pediatrics. Her clinical work covers autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental delays, feeding difficulties, and complex behavioral concerns, giving international families a clearly defined specialist profile when a child’s developmental needs require structured review.


Her clinical perspective is supported by research into the genetic and environmental mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders. As Director of the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Children’s Environmental Health and one of 16 Senior Mentors worldwide for the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR), Dr. Li brings research-informed context to developmental histories, existing assessments, prior interventions, and questions about possible next steps.


For families considering medical travel to Shanghai, a remote specialist review or pre-travel review can help organize records and questions before an in-person visit is considered. This preparation is particularly useful when a case involves overlapping developmental and behavioral concerns or when the family wants a clearer specialist opinion before planning travel.

Pre-Travel Case Review & Specialist Liaison

Before deciding whether to travel to Shanghai, international families can request MedBridgeNZ coordination for a pre-travel case review or remote specialist-review pathway with Dr. Fei Li. We help organize developmental histories, existing reports, and family questions, coordinate translation where needed, and arrange client-authorized secure document transfer to the specialist office.


The hospital or specialist team will review the submitted records and provide its clinical opinion, recommendations, and responses to the family’s questions through the agreed pathway. MedBridgeNZ manages appointment communication and administrative follow-up, while review timing and next steps follow the hospital’s process.


If the family proceeds with an in-person visit, MedBridgeNZ can assist with appointment request coordination, medical invitation or visa-document support, travel planning, and non-clinical bilingual administrative support in China.
