So sorry to hear about your troubles. It sounds like you need to start with your insurance policy, see who they cover and go fromthere.
Huashan and Suntec Medical Center are two options -- but if I was facing surgery -- and had the time to make the decision -- I'd hop on a plane and get it done in a western country |

United Family Hospital out in Chang Ning District is another option but as mswp says, your insurance may have to refer you to where you are covered. |

Hong Kong or go back to your home country (U.S. I'm assuming). |
