Dr. Jia Liu is an Associate Chief Physician in the Department of Neurology at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. His clinical work focuses on cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, cognitive decline, inflammatory demyelinating disease, movement disorders and complex neurological symptoms. He earned his M.D. from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and later broadened his clinical and research perspective as a senior visiting scholar at Harvard University and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

Why Choose Dr. Jia Liu for Your Neurological Care?
For international patients seeking a neurology second opinion in China, Dr. Liu offers a background that combines experience in China’s tertiary hospital system with academic training in Germany and the United States. His cross-border training may be especially useful when medical records, neuroimaging, prior treatment history and symptom timelines need to be reviewed in a structured way.
At Beijing Tiantan Hospital, a major referral center for neurology and neurosurgery, Dr. Liu works with complex neurological conditions including cerebrovascular disease, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, and inflammatory demyelinating disease. His involvement in international research and peer review for journals such as BMJ and Brain supports a careful, evidence-informed approach to neurological case review and pre-travel planning.

When appropriate, submitted records will be reviewed by the relevant third-party specialist office for appointment triage or preliminary case-screening where available. This can help you explore whether an in-person pathway in Beijing may be worth considering, while MedBridgeNZ supports appointment request communication and practical travel logistics.
