Patients are continuing to visit Dr. Chao Chien-ming's clinic in Tainan, showing support amidst a public controversy surrounding his marriage. Despite widespread online discussion, individuals are prioritizing their medical needs and expressing confidence in the doctor's care.

Treatment options have different considerations. Self-paid therapies are more expensive, and patients can decide whether to accept them based on their economic situation and medical needs. Furthermore, everyone's physical condition differs, so treatment effects and duration cannot be generalized.

One patient, who previously suffered from leg weakness and fluid buildup after a car accident, found significant improvement at Dr. Chao's clinic. After initial treatment and hyaluronic acid injections, her condition stabilized. She returned for a check-up after a recent fall, underscoring her trust in the clinic's services.

This patient also commented on the discussion around self-paid treatments like PRP, stating that patients have the right to choose based on their financial situation and medical needs. She noted that treatment effectiveness can vary, and her positive experience led her to recommend the clinic to friends and family.

I have had a good medical experience here and have referred friends and family. Some relatives with limited financial means even received discounts on self-paid items and installment payment options, leaving a positive impression.

Another patient, who works in a job requiring prolonged standing, stated that personal relationship issues would not deter them from seeking treatment from Dr. Chao. They believe that private matters are separate from professional medical services. The clinic has scheduled appointments for this afternoon and evening, indicating continued operation.

I have a medical need and will not change my intention to see the doctor because of his personal relationship issues. Relationship problems belong to the personal sphere and are separate from seeing a doctor and choosing one.
