A significant gap existed in Northern Taiwan's healthcare landscape before 2020: the absence of a specialized orthopedic hospital.
Recognizing this critical need, Jingmei Hospital adopted a patient-centric and forward-thinking approach, investing over NT$200 million to acquire high-end equipment and significantly enhance our medical team.

We specialize in minimally invasive surgeries for the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and bone joints. Our commitment to excellence is further demonstrated by our low-dust operating rooms, designed to meet the rigorous orthopedic medical standards of leading American medical centers. This ensures every surgery is performed under the highest possible conditions, providing our patients with exceptional care and outcomes.

Since our comprehensive upgrade launched in 2020, we've been systematically enhancing our facilities, with floors 1 to 3 seeing significant environmental and equipment updates. Our commitment to patient comfort led to the expansion of our wards on floors 3 and 5 in 2023.This expansion included adding single, double, and triple occupancy health insurance rooms, significantly improving inpatient comfort and reducing surgery waiting times. Our goal is to ensure every patient receives prompt, comfortable, and high-quality care.

At Jingmei Hospital, we are dedicated to safeguarding your health with unparalleled professionalism and responding to your trust with genuine warmth. We continuously pursue excellence and innovation, all to provide you with the best possible medical experience.

Minimally invasive spine surgery at Jingmei Orthopedics offers far more than just smaller incisions. Its core advantage lies in its ability to preserve the normal structures of muscles, soft tissues, ligaments, and spinal joints to the greatest extent possible while effectively treating the affected areas.

By significantly reducing tissue damage, this advanced approach offers numerous benefits:

• Reduced Risk: Effectively lowers the risk of intraoperative bleeding and wound infection.
• Faster Recovery: Accelerates postoperative recovery and shortens rehabilitation time.
• Enhanced Safety and Comfort: Provides patients with a safer and more comfortable treatment option.
