Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
I have a severe sports injury in my ankle. Is Dr. Lai’s expertise suitable for my condition?
Dr. Lai’s profile lists foot and ankle sports injuries, trauma and complex deformity correction among his clinical focus areas. For international patients, MedBridgeNZ can coordinate record preparation, translation and client-authorized document transfer so the hospital or specialist office can review submitted imaging and notes for appointment triage or specialist opinion where available. This helps you organize the right records and questions before deciding whether a China-based pathway is worth pursuing.
How do I request appointment coordination with Dr. Lai from outside China?
International patients can request MedBridgeNZ coordination for appointment communication with Beijing Jishuitan Hospital and Dr. Lai’s specialist pathway. We prepare your case summary, coordinate translation of imaging reports and medical records, transfer documents with your authorization, and support scheduling communication where available.

Will there be a language barrier when seeking care with Dr. Lai?
Dr. Lai’s Duke University visiting-scholar background can be helpful for international expectations, but hospital workflows and records are still commonly handled in Chinese.
