Medical Clinic’s Demise Sparks Controversy
Doctor’s Departure Follows High-Stakes Business Moves
A Taipei City medical clinic’s financial struggles and a key doctor’s exit have ignited scrutiny. This unfolding drama reveals the complex world of medical aesthetics, with accusations of questionable business practices and high-profile clientele.
The Clinic’s Rise and Fall
Initially, Xue Boren set up the Amber Zhuoyu Clinic. He was interested in the source of customers for the failing Xingli Boquan Medical Beauty Clinic. He hired a team of medical professionals, offering lucrative salaries to establish a “win-win” scenario. The clinic, located in Taipei, once boasted a market value exceeding 200 million yuan.
Expert’s Perspective
The Amber Zhuoyu Clinic’s website stated its focus on combining medicine with aesthetic expertise. It aimed to introduce leading medical beauty technology. Dr. Ke Weizhi, the head of medical technology, stated in an interview, “At Amber Zhuoyu, our team of dermatologists is a professional who is responsible for decoration!”
Departure and Fallout
However, Ke Weizhi recently departed. He found a fund owner and started his own business. This move has raised questions. He was the “chief medical director” of the now-bankrupt Xingli Boquan Clinic, where he earned an annual salary of 8 million yuan. Many celebrities sought his services.
Despite Dr. Ke Weizhi being involved in news stories, Xue Boren still tried to recruit him. The medical aesthetics market in Taiwan is growing rapidly, with an estimated value of over $2 billion in 2024 (Industry Report).
Additional Context
The situation highlights the financial fragility within the medical beauty industry and its entanglement with prominent figures. The future of the Amber Zhuoyu Clinic and the repercussions of Dr. Weizhi’s departure remain uncertain.
